Physiotherapy plays an important role in both antenatal and postnatal care by addressing musculoskeletal issues, promoting healthy lifestyles, providing postural and ergonomic advice, preparing women for labor, and teaching relaxation techniques. During antenatal care, physiotherapists help prevent and treat issues like back/pelvic pain, nerve compressions, pelvic floor dysfunction, and more. They provide advice on exercise, nutrition, posture, and birth options. Postnatal care involves addressing common issues like diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction. Overall, physiotherapy aims to help women have a healthy pregnancy and recovery.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als)
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. It causes the motor neurons to gradually degenerate and die, resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy. Over time, this leads to increasing paralysis as more motor neurons are damaged. While the exact causes are unknown, excitotoxicity from glutamate and mutations in genes like SOD1 are thought to be involved in the neurodegeneration. The main treatment is riluzole, which extends life by a few months. Other therapies focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function and quality of life for as long as possible. Regular dental care is important for oral health and to reduce risks of pneumonia. Adaptations may be needed to accommodate physical

Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder affecting around 1% of the population worldwide. It is characterized by recurrent seizures which are brief episodes of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Approximately 30% of epilepsy patients do not achieve seizure control with antiepileptic medications alone. For these medically refractory cases, epilepsy surgery may be considered to remove the specific area of the brain responsible for generating seizures. The goal of both medication and surgery is to reduce or eliminate seizures while minimizing side effects from treatment.

The document recommends three breathing exercises: diaphragmatic breathing to learn deep breathing techniques, rib cage expansion to keep the rib cage flexible, and standing arm rotations to further improve breathing. Performing these exercises daily can help prevent loss of mobility, but will not stop the progression of AS, which requires medical treatment such as TNF-alpha inhibitors.
Balance
This document provides information on balance, including how balance works, common balance disorders, statistics on falling, and exercises to improve balance. It explains that balance relies on visual cues, internal spatial orientation from the inner ear, and feedback from muscles and bones. Common balance disorders cause dizziness and disorientation. Falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults, with over 1/3 falling each year. The document recommends various exercises people can do to improve balance, such as plantar flexion, knee flexion, and side leg raises. Safety tips are provided, like holding onto furniture for support. Tracking progress by timing how long one can balance on one foot is also suggested.

3. Pain Assessment.pptx
This document discusses pain assessment tools including scales to measure pain. It describes the numeric pain rating scale from 0-10, the Wong-Baker FACES scale for children who can communicate, and the FLACC scale to assess pain in children who cannot communicate verbally. The FLACC scale evaluates five categories: face, legs, activity, cry, and consolability. Scores are summed to assess overall pain intensity. Detailed pain assessments using tools like the PQRST method and body charts can provide more information on pain location, type, and response to treatment. Accurately measuring pain using validated scales helps ensure appropriate pain management for patients.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptx
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

4 stage balance test
- 1. 2017 Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths & Injuries2017 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Injury Prevention and Control ASSESSMENT Purpose: To assess static balance Equipment: A stopwatch Directions: There are four standing positions that get progressively harder to maintain. You should describe and demonstrate each position to the patient. Then, stand next to the patient, hold their arm, and help them assume the correct position. When the patient is steady, let go, and time how long they can maintain the position, but remain ready to assist the patient if they should lose their balance. If the patient can hold a position for 10 seconds without moving their feet or needing support, go on to the next position. If not, STOP the test. Patients should not use an assistive device (cane or walker) and they should keep their eyes open. The 4-Stage Balance Test An older adult who cannot hold the tandem stand for at least 10 seconds is at increased risk of falling. To reduce their risk of falling, you might consider referring them to physical therapy for gait and balance exercises, or refer them to an evidence-based fall prevention program, such as Tai Chi.
