Abstract:

Introduction: The effectiveness of rehabilitation program post-surgical repair of flexor tendon remains unproved and controversy exists in the literature about the specific program which results in improved outcomes. The purpose: this study was conducted to investigate the effect of Wrist Tenodesis Exercise in patients with flexor tendon repair on zone II. Methods: thirty patients participated in this study were assigned randomly into two experimental groups with age ranged from 20-60; group (A) fifteen patients were treated by Kleinert protocol only, group (B) were treated by Kleinert protocol with addition of Wrist Tenodesis Exercise at 2nd week. Both groups were evaluated through measuring TAM by Finger Goniometer, hand grip strength by Jammer Dynamometer and functional disabilities by quick Dash scale, were measured at the 6th ,9th and 12th week postoperatively. Results: the independent sample t- test was used to identify the differences between both groups; there was significant early improvement in TAM and hand strength into the group (B) more than group (A); and significant reduction in functional disabilities scale into the group (B) lesser than group (A) post treatment Conclusion: the Wrist Tenodesis Exercise can be used as one of effective modality on rehabilitation program after flexor tendon repair on zone II, as it was revealed a great and early outcomes.

I am mohammadreza kasnavi, Mcs of physical therapy at the 29 years old from shahid beheshti university of tehran , iran.

This study was financially supported by a grant from the Postgraduate Studies and Research Program, Shahid beheshti University of Medical Sciences.

Last year, I had the opportunity to present the same article that I had done to yuor congresses. But this year I looked at the results of massage in athletic women. The results were very interesting. I submit it in a sport journal of physical therapy and I hope that with the acceptance of this article I will be able to present the valuable results of serving it as a colleague.

Abstract:

Introduction:Neurocognitive system has a crucial role in planning physical behavior and coordination, sports performance. neurocognitive tasks such as measuring the reaction time and anticipation skills have been used in various studies. Therefore, in every sport and activity that the athlete needs accurate and rapid action used to make decision, boosting anticipation skills and reaction time can be effective in the improvement of motor control and central information processing. In addition, according to the effects of massage on the neurocognitive functions the effects of massage on reaction time and anticipation skills were studied.

Method:30 women athletes, participated in this study. According to the selection criteria, the participants were randomly divided to 2 experimental and control groups of fifteen members with the experimental group being given a massage. The participants' reaction time of auditory choice , complex choice reaction times and visual choice , complex choice and high and low speed anticipation were checked with Speed Anticipation Reaction computer tests.

Findings:This study showed that there were significant differences between two groups in the mean diffrence of auditory choice reaction times and visual choice , complex choice reaction times and high and low speed anticipation (p<0.05). No significant differences between two the groups in auditory complex choice reaction times were observed (P>0.05)

Conclusion: The massage therapy program used in this study helped the experimental group athletes have better and shorter time reaction compared to the control group. This study showed that applying massage techniques has positive effects on boosting and more proper function of cognitive nervous system. The above mentioned techniques can be used as valuable tools in physiotherapy in order to foster athletes' physical functions.

Abstract:

Introduction and Aim:

Physiotherapy evolved a lot over the past decades by revealing its significance in various branches. In Bhutan, however, the focus on Women`s Health remained in the shadows until the past few years. The expectant mothers were only assigned to regular check-ups. The physical therapy services were never introduced to them. The factors could be mainly due to lack of awareness among Community Health team about the importance of exercises to treat common complains during pregnancy like backache, ankle swelling, urinary incontinence and so on. Secondly, pregnant women rarely consulted Physiotherapy unit as they were not referred to the latter. And partly the gender discrimination by male Physiotherapists could also be a contributing factor but it could just be an assumption. However, over the last few years, few keen physiotherapists along with technicians saw the need to develop this unit and they brought up the Women`s health unit with evidence-based exercise routines for all women.

Methods:

In November 2013, an informal survey was jointly conducted by Physiotherapy staff and CHD.  The questionnaire was administered to 209 women attending ANC, PNC and FP under CHD. The assessment revealed the complaints of backache, perineal pain, sleep disturbances, difficulty in breathing and urinary incontinence. The problems were greatest during the 2^nd and 3^rd trimester of pregnancy.

Introduction of ANC and PNC Exercise Routine at Women`s Health unit under Physiotherapy.

Based on the research it was found that women can begin exercise class when she attains 24 weeks of POG. And there are 3 types of classes which are taken by the therapist usually on a group basis:

A) ANC Sessions:

1) Basic class: First introductory class.

2) Advanced Class: Includes strengthening exercises and resistive exercises. The women with previous LCSC are exempted from this and pushing class.

3) Pushing class:

After 37 weeks of POG, the techniques of pushing the baby during the time of labour are taught.

B) PNC sessions:

Here the therapist counsels the mother on correct posture during breast feeding, back posture, continuation of Kegel`s to enhance sutures healing and help the mothers with their individual complaints.
