MSK physical therapy involves treating injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system through techniques like rehabilitation after surgery, management of acute injuries like sprains and strains, and treatment of chronic issues like tendinopathy and bursitis. The document outlines the components of a comprehensive MSK assessment, including collecting subjective information from the patient on their history, symptoms, and functional limitations and performing objective tests of physical functions, range of motion, and strength. Key parts of the subjective examination include understanding aggravating/relieving factors, the behavior of symptoms over 24 hours, and identifying red flags that could indicate a serious underlying condition.
this topic explains the nature of pain, signs and symptoms of pain, different types of pain, factors influencing pain, assessment of pain and pharmacological and non pharmacological management of pain.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. WHAT IS MSK PHYSICAL THERAPY?
• Msk physical therapy is a speciality of pt. that deals with
diagnosis, management and treatment of disorders and injuries of
the musculoskeletal system including:
• Rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery
• Acute trauma such as sprains, strains
• Injuries of insidious onset such as tendinopathy and bursitis.
• This speciality of physical therapy is most often found in the out-
patient clinical setting.
• Orthopedic therapists are trained in the treatment of post-operative
orthopedic procedures, fractures, acute sports injuries, arthritis,
sprains, strains, back and neck pain, spinal conditions, and
amputations.
3. CONTI…
• Additionally, an emerging adjunct to diagnosis and
treatment is the use of sonography for diagnosis and to
guide treatments such as muscle retraining.
• Those who have suffered injury or disease affecting the
muscles, bones, ligaments, or tendons will benefit from
assessment by a physical therapist specialized in MSK.
4. COURSE DESCRIPTION
• Study of anatomy and physiology of MSK system
• Pathological changes of system and function
• Diagnostic tests and measurements
• Evidence based physical therapy intervention for
musculoskeletal conditions.
• Dysfunctions, evaluation and treatment of peripheral joints
and spine.

8. AREA AND TYPE OF SYMPTOMS
May employ a body chart
Identify areas and types of symptoms
Initial determination of the relationship
between the symptomatic areas
First step of subjective examination
What are included in the body chart?
Area of current symptoms
Area relevant to the region being examined
Quality of pain
Intensity of pain
Abnormal sensation
Relationship of the symptoms
Depth of pain
Constant/intermittent symptoms
9.
10. AREA OF CURRENT SYMPTOMS
• A clear demarcation between areas of pain, paraesthesia,
stiffness or weakness
• The area of the symptoms does not always identify the
structure at fault.
• When the manifestation of symptoms is distant to the
pathological tissue this is known as referred pain.
• The more central the lesion, the more extensive is the possible
area of referral.
11. AREAS RELEVANT TO THE REGION BEING
EXAMINED
• All other areas relevant to the region being
examined should be checked for symptoms.
12. ILLNESS BEHAVIOR
• A patient may demonstrate signs of illness behavior, also called
non-organic signs,
• Need to examine patient fully
• Isolated behavioral symptoms mean nothing; only multiple
findings are relevant
• It does not explain the cause of the patient's pain, nor does
it suggest that the patient has no 'real' pain
• It does not mean that there is no physical disease
• It is not in itself a diagnosis
• It does not mean that the patient is faking or malingering
13. QUALITY OF THE PAIN
• Refers to the description of pain
• Interprets pain based on the pathology or structures
involved
• Throbbing diffuse – vasculature/inflammation
• Cramping dull aching – muscle
• Sharp shooting – nerve
• Deep nagging dull – bone
• Sharp severe intolerable – fracture
14. INTENSITY
• Rating severity of the symptoms based on a scale
• NPRS: usually range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain)
• Visual analogue scale: a 10-cm line with pain
descriptors at each end (“no pain” to “pain as bad as it
could be”)
• May assist in determining prognosis
• May be a reliable indicator of progress as the patient is
providing information regarding the pain experience
15. • Mcgill pain questionnaire (melzack & wall 1996)
measures intensity of pain by asking the patient to
choose the word listed below that best describes the
intensity of their pain now/at its worst and at its least:
1. Mild
2. Discomforting
3. Distressing
4. Horrible
5. Excruciating
CONTI…
16. DEPTH
• It was previously believed that the depth of pain is related to
the depth of injury.
• The depth of pain may give some indication as to the structure
at fault but, like quality, this can be misleading
• Muscle pain does not refer superficially
• Skin rarely refers pain
• Visceral pain has cutaneous distribution/pattern and
sometimes produce autonomic symptoms
• Joints specifically zygapophyseal joint pain refer symptoms
superficially
17. ABNORMAL SENSATION
• Areas of abnormal sensation are mapped out on the body chart
and include:
• Paraesthesia (abnormal sensation: tingling, pins and needles)
• Anaesthesia (complete loss of sensation),
• Hypoaesthesia (reduced touch sensation),
• Hyperaesthesia (heightened perception to touch),
• Allodynia (pain provoked by stimuli that are normally
innocuous)
• Analgesia (absence of appreciation of pain),
• Hypalgesia (reduced sensitivity of pain)
• Hyperalgesia (increased sensitivity to pain).
18. CONSTANT/INTERMITTENT
• The word constant is used here to mean symptoms which are
felt unremittingly for 24 hours a day
• Any relief of symptoms even for a few minutes would mean
that the symptoms were intermittent.
• Frequency of intermittent symptoms: once a month to once an
hour
• Constant pain which does not vary is may be the
characteristic of malignancy.
• Constant pain which varies in intensity is suggestive of
inflammatory or infective processes or may occur following
trauma for the first 20 days
19. RELATIONSHIP OF SYMPTOMS
• Evaluate if the symptoms arise from one
source or multiple sources
• Identify whether symptoms are provoked
independently (unrelated) or worsen all
together (related)
Clinical Implication
• Related symptoms: one area to be
treated to relieve symptoms
• Unrelated symptoms: a need to
treat various areas to promote relief
of symptoms
20. AGGRAVATING/ALLEVIATING FACTORS
What activities/positions aggravate/relieve the symptoms?
Knowledge of these may help in the diagnosis (identifies presence or absence
of a mechanical problem),
• Pain aggravated by activity or relieved by rest can be suspected to arise
from a pathologic process except in the case of a disk problem that is
aggravated by sitting and relieved by walking and standing up
• Arthritic conditions cause pain on the weight-bearing joints
• Early stage: pain with prolonged walking or maintenance of
weight-bearing
• Late stage: pain prior to start of movement/walk that decreases
while walking then returns after prolonged walking
21. RELIEVING FACTORS
• The clinician should ask the patient about theoretically
known easing factors for structures that could be a source of
their symptoms;
• Crook lying for a painful lumbar spine eases pain by
reducing intradiscal pressure
• Reduces the forces produced by muscle activity
• However, if the patient feels that they can only manage the
pain by lying down regularly for long periods this may
indicate possible illness behaviour.
22. SEVERITY AND IRRITABILITY OF SYMPTOMS
• The severity of the symptoms is the degree to which symptoms
restrict movement and/or function and is related to the intensity
of the symptoms.
• If a movement at a certain point in range provokes pain and this
pain is so intense that the movement must immediately be
ceased, then the symptoms are defined as severe.
• If the intensity is such that the patient is able to maintain or
increase a movement that provokes the symptoms, then the
symptoms are not considered to be severe and in this case
overpressures can be performed.
23. IRRITABILITY OF THE SYMPTOMS
• The irritability of the symptoms is the degree to which
symptoms increase and reduce with provocation.
• If the pain eases immediately, the symptoms are considered
to be non-irritable and all movements can be examined.
• If the symptoms take a few minutes to disappear then the
symptoms are irritable and the patient may not be able to
tolerate all movements as the symptoms will gradually get
worse.
24. 24-HOUR BEHAVIOR
• Status of symptoms
• At night
• In the morning
• Throughout the day: do the symptoms
vary?
• Knowledge of the behavior of the symptoms
provides information in:
• Formulation of diagnosis
• Identifying plan of care
• Monitoring of the progress of condition
• Prognosis but only to a lesser extent
25. CONTI…
Night pain
Does the patient have any difficulty in
sleeping because of the symptoms?
Does the pain wake the patient during
sleep?
Determine worst and best sleeping
positions
Night time symptoms
• Intractable pain– serious
pathology
• Unremitting pain –
inflammatory pathology
• Night time pain– muscle
tears
26. Morning pain
• Musculoskeletal conditions respond well to rest
• Stiffness, if present, resolve quickly especially with warm
shower
• Morning pain lasting more than 30 minutes is a sign of
inflammatory arthritis
• Minimal or absent pain with gross stiffness in the morning is
associated with degenerative conditions such as osteoarthrosis.
CONTI…
27. EVENING SYMPTOMS
• Pain that is aggravated by movement and eased by rest
generally indicates a mechanical problem of the
musculoskeletal system.
• Pain that increases with activity may be due to repeated
mechanical stress, an inflammatory process or degenerative
process.
28. RED FLAGS
• These should alert that something is not quite right.
• Used by clinicians to detect potential serious pathology
Cancer
Persistent pain at night.
Constant pain anywhere in the body.
Unexplained weight loss e.g. 10-15 lb
in 2 weeks or less.

in speech
Changes in vision (e.g. blurriness or
loss of sight).
Problems with balance, coordination
of falling.

Sudden weakness.
30. YELLOW FLAGS
• Possible chronic pain behavioral indicators
• Possible signs of chronic pain behavior, this can sometimes be
apparent when a patient displays one or several behavioral
symptoms known as ‘yellow flags’
• Psychological beliefs about back pain & it’s vagaries
• Non consistent behaviors (Waddell signs)
• Compensation issues
• Conflicting medical diagnosis and advice
• Over protective or under supported family or co-workers
• Time of work in past with same problem
• History of current or past depression
• Dissatisfaction in employment
31. ONSET OF SYMPTOMS
• Provides information of the relative
stage of injury
• Acute: 0 - 7 days after injury
• Sub-acute: 7 days - 7 weeks after
injury
• Chronic: more than 7 weeks after
injury
• An insidious onset not
related to injury or
unusual activity is
suspicious
• Neoplasm
• Degenerative lesions
• Lesions due to tissue
fatigue
32. MECHANISM OF INJURY
• Direction, position, and nature of the injuring force
may provide clues which tissues could have been
injured
• Correlation can be made to the signs and
symptoms for interpretation
• The magnitude of the injuring force and the
severity of injury can be compared
• Take note of unusual injury patterns as these could be
a sign of an abnormal tissue status prior to injury
33. PROGRESS OF SYMPTOMS
• Inquire if the patient’s symptoms get better, worse and in
what way/manner
• Most musculoskeletal injuries get better over time
primarily due to the normal healing process (~ 6 weeks)
• Some disorders may actually get worse over time
underlying pathology
• Pain that radiates: extends to include other areas
• Presence of paresthesia following initial pain
34. TREATMENT RECEIVED AND EFFECTS
• Noted changes for the better/worse?
• Provides information regarding:
• Prognosis
• Treatment selection
• Dosage of treatment
35. PAST MEDICAL HISTORY
State of general health
Recent unexplained weight loss
Presence of osteoporosis
Cord signs
Dizziness
Headache
Other joints
Operations
Renal dialysis
36. FAMILY HISTORY
Note disease process that have a familial incidence
Tumors
Heart disease
Arthritis
Allergies
Diabetes
Family history predisposes a patient to increased risk
for acquiring the same condition
37. PERSONAL SOCIAL HISTORY
• Employment status and requirements
• Domestic role
• No. of dependents
• Recreational activities
• Living conditions
• Lifestyle
38. MEDICATIONS
• Identify what medications the patient is taking, indication,
dosage
• Analgesics

• Maintenance medications
• Side effects of the medications should be considered as
these may interfere with the treatment
39. ANCILLARY PROCEDURES
• Either rule out or confirm the presence of a
condition that result to the patient’s symptoms
• Laboratory and diagnostic test performed
• Review of available records
• Review of other clinical findings
41. SELF REPORTED OUTCOME MEASURES

• Generic
• Disease specific
• Region specific
• Patient specific
42. GENERIC
• PASS (patient acceptable symptom state): “considering all the
different ways your disease is affecting you, if you would stay in this
state for the next months, do you consider that your current state is
satisfactory?”
• SANE (single assessment numeric evaluation): “how would you
rate your shoulder today as a percentage of normal 0%to100% scale
with 100% being normal ?”
• P4: a 0-10 pain range scale. Patients asked to rate pain over the
previous 2 days in the morning, afternoon, evening, and with
