Physiotherapy management of Multiple sclerosisKeerthi Priya
This document provides an overview of the physical therapy management of multiple sclerosis. It discusses assessing patients through examinations of vital signs, cognition, sensation, motor function, posture, balance, gait, locomotion, aerobic capacity, and functional independence. Short term goals include minimizing progression, preventing complications, and maintaining respiratory and functional abilities while long term goals focus on decreasing spasticity and improving strength, range of motion, balance, and activities of daily living. Management techniques for weaknesses, spasticity, ataxia, fatigue, locomotion, and swallowing are outlined, including exercises, stretches, electrical stimulation, and energy conservation methods.
Myasthenia Gravis is a neuromuscular disease causing fluctuating muscle weakness and fatigue due to a breakdown in communication between nerves and muscles. There is no cure, but treatment can relieve symptoms. Signs include weakness of specific muscles like eyes and throat, as well as limbs, worsened by exertion and stress. Physical therapy focuses on aerobic exercise, strength training, swimming, posture, and breathing to build functional capacity and decrease fatigue while avoiding overexertion that worsens symptoms. The goal is improved mobility, balance, and ability to perform daily activities.
The McKenzie Method is a classification system and treatment approach developed by Robin McKenzie for back, neck, and extremity pain. It involves assessing a patient's response to various movements and positions to determine the cause of their pain and develop an individualized exercise plan. The goals are to centralize or reduce pain. There are three main syndromes - postural, dysfunction, and derangement - each with different treatments like posture correction, mobilizing exercises, or movements to induce a directional preference. The McKenzie Method aims to actively involve patients to self-manage their pain.
This document discusses the physiotherapy management of lower limb deformities resulting from polio. It covers strengthening weakened muscles, stretching shortened muscles, use of orthotics and splints, gait training, surgical correction of deformities if conservative treatment is not effective, and physiotherapy after surgeries like tendon transfers. Specific deformities around the hip, knee and ankle are described along with their causes and management approaches. Surgical options discussed include soft tissue releases, osteotomies, arthrodesis and tendon transfers. The overall goal of treatment is to improve strength, prevent deformities, achieve functional mobility and independence.
Shoulder impingement occurs when the rotator cuff tendons are compressed and abraded as they pass under the coracoacromial arch during arm elevation. It can result from acute overload, degeneration, or chronic overuse. The rotator cuff comprises four muscles that originate on the scapula and insert on the humerus. Etiologies include bony factors like acromial shape that reduce space, soft tissue impingement, and degenerative or traumatic tendon failure. Physical exam assesses muscle strength and special tests like Neer and Hawkins that reproduce pain. Treatment progresses from rest, PT to restore motion and strength, and injections to surgery for partial or full thickness tears.
This document discusses cerebellar ataxia, which is a lack of muscle coordination caused by dysfunction of the cerebellum. It classifies ataxia into hereditary, non-hereditary degenerative, and acquired types. Hereditary ataxia includes autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked forms. Common symptoms are gait instability, limb incoordination, slurred speech, and eye movement abnormalities. Diagnosis involves testing for genetic mutations, imaging the brain, and checking for metabolic deficiencies. Treatment aims to reduce symptoms and improve coordination through medications, physical therapy, and assistive devices.
Some key points include:
- Polio is caused by infection with the poliovirus and can lead to paralysis of muscles.
- It spreads via the fecal-oral or respiratory routes and infects the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord.
- Clinical features may include fever, neck rigidity, asymmetric limb paralysis that often affects the legs. Respiratory muscles can be involved.

This document provides information about ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints. It notes that AS most commonly onset in late adolescence/early adulthood and is associated with the HLA-B27 genetic marker in about 90% of cases. Pathologically, it involves three stages: inflammatory reaction, replacement with fibrous tissue, and ossification leading to joint ankylosis. Clinically, it causes back pain, stiffness, limited chest expansion, and extra-skeletal manifestations like uveitis. Treatment involves medications, exercise, posture correction, and in severe cases, surgery.

Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive disorder of movement and posture caused by damage to the developing brain. It is characterized by spasticity, abnormal muscle tone and reflexes, delays in development, and impaired motor skills. The most common type is spastic cerebral palsy, which causes stiff, jerky movements. Orthoses are often used to treat cerebral palsy by correcting deformities, providing support, and facilitating training to improve motor skills and gait efficiency. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy also help achieve developmental milestones and independence in daily living activities.
Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness. The most common type is Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which is caused by a lack of the muscle protein dystrophin. Clinical features include muscle wasting, impaired balance and mobility, scoliosis, respiratory difficulties, and in late stages, weakness of upper limb muscles. Physiotherapy management focuses on maintaining strength and range of motion, preventing deformities, improving respiratory function, and assisting with activities of daily living through the different stages of the disease.
Final case presentation sci (kimberly walsh)Kimberly Walsh
This document provides an overview of cervical myelopathy and spinal cord injury, including:
- Definitions of spinal cord injury and cervical myelopathy.
- Descriptions of anatomy including the spine, cervical spine, intervertebral discs, and ligaments.
- Causes, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations of both cervical myelopathy and spinal cord injury.
- Details on epidemiology, diagnosis, complications and management of spinal cord injury.
Skeletal muscle disorders can be classified as either primary muscle diseases or secondary disorders caused by other conditions like inflammation, metabolic abnormalities, or drugs. Progressive muscle dystrophies are a primary cause and include Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Becker muscular dystrophy, which are caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Symptoms include weakness, wasting, and pseudohypertrophy. Management focuses on rehabilitation, steroids, respiratory support, and future gene therapies. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder where antibodies target acetylcholine receptors, causing fluctuating weakness. Diagnosis involves the Tensilon test and repetitive nerve stimulation with treatment consisting of cholinesterase inhibitors, steroids, plasma exchange,

Syringomylia Physiotherapy Percpective.pptxSusan Jose
Syringomyelia is a condition where an abnormal fluid-filled cavity forms within the spinal cord, compressing the spinal cord and nerve tracts. It is usually caused by conditions that obstruct the flow of cerebrospinal fluid such as Arnold-Chiari malformation, meningitis, or spinal cord trauma. Symptoms depend on the location of the syrinx within the spinal cord and can include loss of sensation, neuropathic pain, spasticity, weakness, scoliosis, bowel and bladder dysfunction, and headaches. An MRI is needed for definitive diagnosis. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause through surgery if possible. Physiotherapy management identifies impairments and develops compensatory or restorative treatment approaches through goal setting
Cranial Nerve assesment-Physiotherapy perspective.pptxSusan Jose
This document provides information on various cranial nerves including their functions, testing methods, and abnormalities. It discusses the olfactory nerve and how anosmia can result from injury to sites in the olfactory pathway. For the optic nerve, it describes testing visual acuity with an eye chart and visual fields with confrontation testing, and conditions like blindness, myopia and presbyopia that can arise from abnormalities. Various cranial nerves like the oculomotor, trochlear, abducens and others are also covered, along with their functions and testing methods.
Voluntary Control and Assessment Physiotherapy Perspective.pptxSusan Jose
This document discusses voluntary control of movements and assessment methods. Voluntary control is the ability to produce and control movements volitionally and adapt to tasks and the environment. Normal synergy involves linked muscles acting cooperatively, while abnormal synergy is stereotypical and non-adaptable. Assessment can be qualitative using grading scales or quantitative using tools like the Fugl-Meyer Assessment which evaluates motor function, sensation, balance, and range of motion. The Trunk Impairment Scale assesses trunk control in sitting and coordination. Good assessment informs effective treatment.
Gait training Physiotherapy perspective.pptxSusan Jose
do you know what is gait?
lets know more this presentation.
can physiotherapist help you with your walking abilities. click on the above slide to know more.
This document summarizes gait assessment, which involves analyzing the positions and motions of body segments during walking. It describes the phases of gait and methods for kinematic gait assessment, including observational gait analysis using video from different views and motion analysis systems using cameras and sensors. Key kinematic and spatiotemporal parameters that are assessed are identified, such as step length, stride duration, joint angles, and ground reaction forces. Adaptability of gait is also evaluated using tools like the Dynamic Gait Index to assess fall risk.
Pain is a very distressing sensation.
To treat pain it is important to understand how it is perceived and internally control by the body itself.
Here in this presentation you will understand how normally pain is perceived and how normally our body controls it.
Higher mental functions include cognition and behavior such as orientation, attention, memory, communication, executive functions, and complex perception. These should be assessed first as they can impact motor and sensory exams. Orientation involves understanding time, place, and identity. Attention includes selective, sustained, alternating, and divided attention. Memory involves registration, retention, and recall, and can be impacted by amnesia or delirium. Communication assesses language comprehension and production. The brain regions responsible include the medial temporal lobe, hippocampus, and specific areas for aphasia or dysarthria. Higher mental functions can be quickly screened using the MMSE, with scores below 24 indicating impairment.
This scale is used to categrise spinal cord injury patients. it helps prognosticate the spinal cord injuires. it also helps define the treatment protocols for spinal cord injury patients. American Spinal Cord Injury Association made this scale so as to make a standardization in assesemnent technique in acute spinal cord injury patients.
Glasgow comma scale and Mini mental Assessment scale.pptxSusan Jose
The document discusses the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) which are used to assess impaired consciousness and cognitive status. The GCS evaluates eye opening, motor, and verbal responses on a scale of 3-15 to describe consciousness impairment. The MMSE is a screening tool that assesses cognition on a scale of 0-30, with scores below 18 indicating severe impairment. Both are commonly used for interdisciplinary communication about a patient's brain injury severity and cognitive disorders.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
