Keynote: Brugger concept
Time : 09:00-9:45
Biography:
Abstract:
In early 1950s Swiss neurologist Brugger developed a concept of "diagnostic and treatment of functional disorders of locomotors system". His approach is widely used in Europe, particularly in German-speaking countries. Many of the principles of Brügger’s work are now considered part of the modern "standard care" areas, in which can be used today Brugger concept or therapeutical elements from this concept, will be presented and documented by examples of research. Focus will be done on demonstration of various procedures and/or exercises to increase muscle synergy, to influence coordination and to improve stability. As a very beneficial procedures in Brügger concept is functional elastic resistance training with Sanctband, which can be optimally design and adapt to all stages of recovery or treatment procedure in the physiotherapy and also in sport area. How to achieve optimal result in therapy and/or training, which must be carefully planned and functional establish, will be also discussed in the presentation.

Keynote: Miofunctional Postural Rehabilitation (M.P.R)
Time : 9:45-10:30
Biography:
Silverio Di Rocca has completed Graduate degree in Dentistry, Postgraduate degree in Functional Orthopaedics both from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. He has also done a degree in Dentistry and Prostethic at the University of Turin, Italy and a Doctorate in Dentistry and Prosthetic at University of Turin, Italy.
Abstract:
Miofunctional Postural Rehabilitation is a method that seeks balance between stomatognatic system and the rest of the body, used at any age, in the dysfunctional patients and stroke patients.In medical sciences usually we have relapses in our treatments, and we are not aware for, patients with chronic pain, sometimes are visited for several specialists, without results.
After that journey, they are considered as psychiatric patients. and the specialist is disappointed, this happens because does not have a holistic optic in ours therapies , a major cause for which this happens is the negative action of the stomatognathic system on the static posture altering the function of other receptors like eye and foot.Dysfunction treatment should be carried identifying the origin of the disease and therapeutic priority.The MPR will teach you to identify it and treat the disease with natural and physiological treatments.At the seminar will learn the diagnosis and treatment of the MPR.

Title: Effect of whole body vibration on functional performance of lower extremity in elderly
Time : 12:30-13:00
Biography:
Manisha Rathi with her doctoral qualification is expert in evaluation and management of geriatric people and immensely involved in improving the independency and quality of life of the elderly. Her skill in the assessment of geriatrics individuals and treating them to fulfill their functional demand is unique. Squat training to older people on Whole body vibrator is a challenging task but she worked dedicatedly to bring excellent results in enhancing the lower extremity functions and in turn perk up functional independence. Whole body vibration helps in recruiting lower body muscles and thus increases strength and endurance. Her research work mainly focuses on balance, fall efficacy, Gait parameters and functional performance in Elderly. She is also working on assessing reaction time in elderly with a uniquely designed machine by her. Her focused approach and patience towards elderly is remarkable and should be taken in cognizance
Abstract:
Background: Aging leads to many health-related disorders which hampers the functional performance of the elderly individuals like mobility, balance, gait speed and strength. If proper exercises are done then we can regain the functional performance of the elderly, hence this study investigated the effects of vibration on functional performance in the elderly.
Aim: To compare the effects squat training on whole body vibrator and squat training on plain surface on functional performance of lower extremity in the elderly using short physical performance battery and timed up and go test.
Methods: In this experimental study, 30 healthy elderly participants with age group between 60 to 70 years and of both the genders were taken according to geriatric falls efficacy scoring of 16 to 19. Study was conducted at Dr. D. Y. Patil College of Physiotherapy, Pune, Maharashtra, India, after the approval from institutional ethical committee. Participants having any neurological, musculoskeletal or other chronic disease affecting ADL and IADL, any recent upper limb or lower limb fracture which hampers squat training with or without support, any acute inflammatory conditions like bursitis, synovitis, tendinitis, rheumatoid arthritis conditions involving balance deficits having any lower limb prosthesis fitted like a transfemoral or transtibial prosthesis were excluded. Written informed consent was taken from all the participants. The participants were first evaluated where chief complaints, history of present illness, and drug history was noted. Then the geriatric falls efficacy score was documented. These participants were then allocated to either group A or group B of 15 each through simple random sampling using computer generated allotment. Group A were given squat training on a vibratory surface using whole body vibration and group B was given squat training on a plain surface for 4 weeks, 3 sessions/week for both the group. Pre and post values of short physical performance battery and timed up and go test were documented and data analysis was done. Result: The group A showed statistically significant improvement in repeated chair stand (M D=3.6), balance (MD=3.4), gait speed (MD=1.867) which are the components of short physical performance battery and TUG Score (MD=12.53) with p value ≤0.005 as compared to the group B, repeated chair stand (MD=2.533), balance (MD=2.667), gait speed (MD=0.133) and TUG score (MD=13.93).
Conclusion: The significant effects of whole body vibration with squat training on physical function in the elderly individuals using timed short physical performance battery and up and go test.

Title: VRT (Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy) -- Role of physical therapy in management of vertigo
Time : 14:30-16:00
Biography:
Abstract:
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy: Role of physical therapy in management of vertigo Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) is the therapy used for rehabilitation of patients with vestibular lesion who have not compensated fully. Basically Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy is customized exercise program designed according to the need of patient by physiotherapist. Three clear indications for vestibular rehabilitation 1. Specific interventions for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) 2. General interventions for vestibular loss. • Unilateral vestibular loss e.g in case of vestibular neuritis or acoustic neuroma • Bilateral vestibular loss e.g in case of gentamycin toxicity and related conditions • Central vestibular lesions - brainstem infarct, cerebellar infarct, MS etc.. 3. Empirical treatment for common situations where the diagnosis is unclear. • Post-traumatic vertigo • Multifactorial disequilibrium of the elderly. Persons without a vestibular problem e.g. The patients who will not benefit from vestibular rehabilitation therapy are as a sentence... • low blood pressure • medication reactions (other than ototoxicity) • anxiety, malingerers, depression (although T’ai Chi may be helpful for anxiety) • migraine associated vertigo (although it has been reported to be helpful nonetheless) • transient ischemic attacks (TIA) Persons with fluctuating vestibular problems. • Meniere’s disease • perilymph fistula Functional Goals of VRT• Decrease disequilibrium – Improve functional static & dynamic balance. • Improve postural and gait stability. • To reduce motion related dizziness. • Decrease oscillopsia-visual blurring during head movement – increase gaze stability i.e. DVA during both static and dynamic activities
