Abstract
Background: Physiotherapy is multi-dimensional and can treat a vast variety of conditions, ranging from musculoskeletal aches, arthritis, joints problems, paraplegia, hemiplegic, sports injuries and frozen shoulder etc. Apart from culture competency and core medical knowledge a physiotherapist must be competent enough in all physiotherapist medical conditions where physical therapy plays a vital role. This study aims to identify the frequency of common clinical conditions among client presented at Habib Physiotherapy Complex (HPC), Hayatabad during 2010.
Methodology: This was a descriptive study; the data were retrieved from record register of HPC (Indoor and Outdoor patients) recording their presenting complaints and known diagnoses. Data was collected on a structure grid. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 15 and presented in term of frequency and percentages.
Result: The majority of clients (1280 (29%)) were suffering from low back pain. The second common condition 891(20%) was osteoarthritis of the knee joint and cerebrovascular accidents 824(18.4%), while cervical pain accounted for 734(16.4%). The rest of clinical conditions included; frozen shoulder, pelvic inflammation, cerebral palsy, polio effected and paraplegia.
Conclusion: The Study reveals the occurrence of Osteoarthritis (Low Back, Cervical Pain, and Knee Joints Pain) were the most common condition which deteriorated the performance of common individuals in our society.

Effects of the PNF Technique on Increasing Functional Activities in Patients ...Remedypublications1
Introduction: Clinical features of spinal cord injury are described as part of neurological syndromes
of commotion, complete and incomplete lesions. Paraplegia is a consequence of spinal injury in
the thoracic, lumbar and sacral part of the spine characterized by partial (paraparesis) or complete
loss of function below the level of injury. There are many secondary complications, and the most
important ones are proprioceptive deficits and reduced balance that greatly reduce the participation
of patients in their daily activities.
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the ability of the PNF technique to increase the
functional activity of a patient with incomplete spinal cord injury (TH11 - TH12) included in the
PNF therapy for six months.
Results: The problem the subject noted when taking the initial status was walking over longer
distances and walking up the stairs. Functional abilities of the subject were evaluated by Spinal Cord
Independence Measure (SCIM) and Berg balance scale. Evaluation was performed prior to, in the
middle of, and after the intervention. The subject was included in the PNF therapy twice a week for
45 minutes in a period of 6 months. There was an increase in the results of the Berg Balance Scale
test as well as SCIM results in the area of the locomotion, specifically in the area of mobility in bed,
mobility inside and outside the house at 10 meters to 100 meters distance and using the stairs.
Conclusion: The results of this study show that the PNF technique might have a positive effect on
increasing the functional abilities of subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury. However, further
research is required with a larger number of subjects to make a final conclusion on the effect of the
PNF technique on the functional abilities of persons with spinal cord injuries.
