Motor Neuron Disease
Motor Neuron Disease are a group of neurodegenerative disorders that affects the nerves in the spine and brain to progressively lose its function.
Motor neuron diseases (MND) include a heterogeneous spectrum of inherited and sporadic (no family history) clinical disorders of the upper motor neurons (UMNs), lower motor neurons (LMNs), or a combination of both.
Types of MND
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease, characterized by progressive degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord, brain stem, and motor cortex, leading to progressive muscle atrophy and weakness.
Clinical Features
UPPER MOTOR NEURON
Loss of Dexterity
Muscle Weakness
Spasticity
Hyperreflexia
Pathological reflexes
LOWER MOTOR NEURON
Muscle Weakness
Muscle Atrophy
Hypotonicity
Hyporeflexia
Fasciculation

Management for Dysphagia
PEG procedure.
A PEG may be recommended as the disease progresses.
A PEG is a type of gastrostomy tube inserted via endoscopic surgery that creates a permanent opening into the stomach for the introduction of food.
Studies have found that PEG insertion may prolong survival. Patients with PEG were found to live 1 to 4 months longer than those individuals who refused it.
Management of Dysphagia
A palatal lift prosthesis may be prescribed for individuals with good articulation but who have a breathy voice quality or decreased loudness because of excessive air loss through the nose.
The device, a dental appliance designed to attach to the existing teeth and to elevate the soft palate, is custom-made by a prosthodontist.

To Compare The Effect Of Core Stability Exercises And Muscle Energy Technique...IOSR Journals
Abstract: Low back pain is considered one of the commonest condition in the western and industrialized
countries. It is estimated that up to 50% of adults experience low back pain during their life span. People of all
age group can be effected by this menace irrespective to their gender and quality of life. It has become one of
the leading causes for the visit to physician thus also puts a heavy burden on the currency of the country.
Physiotherapy is the most widely used form of treatment adopted for gaining relief from low back pain. The
exercises include stretching, strengthening, range of motion exercises, McKenzie therapy and core stability
exercises other techniques like muscle energy technique etc. It has been concluded in various studies core
stability exercises and muscle energy technique are beneficial in low back pain patients but comparison of their
effect needs to be established to provide early and better relief from the disability. Therefore objective of the
study was to compare the effect of core stability exercises and muscle energy techniques on low back pain
patients. 60 subjects aged 18 – 45 years with low back pain were made part of the study based on inclusion and
exclusion criteria and were then divided into three groups named A, B and C. Group A received core stability
exercise and conventional physiotheraphy and group B received muscle energy techniques and conventional
physiotherapy. The exercise program was given on alternate days with a total of 24 sessions and progression of
the activity was made within the tolerance of the patient. Pre and post treatment readings were taken of pain,
ROM and quality of life scale. Results were analyzed using paired, unpaired t- test and ANOVA. Results showed
that there is significant effect on pain, ROM and quality of life scale in the three groups but group A was
clinically more significant than the other groups. The study concluded that patients with low back pain are
benefitted more by core stability exercises. So, core stability exercises should be practiced more.

Its application in the field of Physiotherapy
What is SOAP??
S- Subjective
O- Objective
A- Assessment
P- Plan of care
Developed in the 1960s at the University of Vermont by Dr. Lawrence Weed as part of the Problem-oriented medical record (POMR)
Method of documentation for healthcare providers.
To document in a structured and organized way.
Structure- Subjective (First heading of the SOAP note)
Documentation under this heading comes from the “subjective” experiences, personal views or feeling of a patient or someone close to them.
CHIEF COMPLAINT
The CC or presenting problem is reported by the patient.
This can be a symptom, condition, previous diagnosis or another short statement that describes why the patient is presenting today.
The CC is similar to the title of a paper, allowing the reader to get a sense of what the rest of the document will entail.
CHIEF COMPLAINT- Cont’d
Examples: chest pain, decreased appetite, shortness of breath.
However, a patient may have multiple CC’s, and their first complaint may not be the most significant one.
Thus, physicians should encourage patients to state all of their problems, while paying attention to detail to discover the most compelling problem.
Identifying the main problem must occur to perform effective and efficient diagnosis.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS (HOPI)
The HOPI begins with a simple one line opening statement including the patient's age, sex and reason for the visit.
Example: 47-year old female presenting with PAIN AT RIGHT SHOULDER .
This is the section where the patient can elaborate on their chief complaint. An acronym often used to organize the HOPI is termed “OLDCARTS”:
“OLDCARTS”
ONSET: When did the CC begin?
LOCATION: Where is the CC located?
DURATION: How long has the CC been going on for?
CHARACTERIZATION: How does the patient describe the CC?
ALLEVIATING AND AGGRAVATING FACTORS: What makes the CC better? Worse?
RADIATION: Does the CC move or stay in one location?
TEMPORAL FACTOR: Is the CC worse (or better) at a certain time of the day?
SEVERITY: Using a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the least, 10 being the worst, how does the patient rate the CC?
HISTORY
Medical history: Pertinent current or past medical conditions
Surgical history: Try to include the year of the surgery and surgeon if possible.
Family history: Include pertinent family history. Avoid documenting the medical history of every person in the patient's family.
Social History: An acronym that may be used here is HEADSS which stands for Home and Environment; Education, Employment, Eating; Activities; Drugs; Sexuality; and Suicide/Depression.
REVIEW OF SYSTEM
This is a system based list of questions that help uncover symptoms not otherwise mentioned by the patient.

Introduction
History of CIMT
CIMT is based on research by Edward Taub ,his hypothesize that the non use was a learning mechanism and calls this behavior “Learned non-use”.
It was observed that patients with hemiparesis did not use their affected extremity .
Overcoming learned non use
Mechanisms of CIMT
Population for CIMT
Stroke
Traumatic Brain Injury
Spinal Cord Injury
Multiple Sclerosis

Advantages of CIMT
Overall greater improvement in function than traditional treatment.
Highly researched and credible treatment approach.
There are brain activity and observed gray matter reorganization in primary motor, cortices and hippocampus.
Increase social participation
Components Of CIMT
Types of CIMT
Restraining Tools for CIMT
Minimal Requirement of hand function for CIMT
Recent Advances
The EXCITE Trial: Retention of Improved Upper Extremity Function Among Stroke Survivors Receiving CI Movement Therapy.(2008)
The Extremity Constraint Induced Movement Therapy Evaluation (EXCITE) demonstrated that CIMT administered 3-9 months post-stroke, resulted in statistically significant and clinically relevant improvement in upper extremity function during the first year compared to those achieved by participants undergoing usual and customary care.
This study was the first randomized clinical trial to examine retention and improvements for the 24 month period following CIMT therapy in a subacute sample.
Study design - single masked cross-over design, with participants undergoing adaptive randomization to balance ,gender, prestroke dominant side, side of stroke, and level of paretic arm function across sites.
CIMT was delivered up to 6 hours per day, 5 days per week for 2 weeks.
Subsequent evaluations were made after the two week period, and at 4, 8, and 12 months.
Because the control group was crossed over to receive CIMT after one year.
Primary outcome measures – Wolf Motor Function Test
Motor Activity Log
Secondary outcome measure - Stroke Impact Scale (SIS)
were assessed at each of these time intervals, was administered only at baseline, 4, 12, 16 and 24 month evaluations.
Result :There was no observed regression from the treatment effects observed at 12 months after treatment during the next 12 months for the primary outcome measures of WMFT and MAL.
In fact, the additional changes were in the direction of increased therapeutic effect. For the strength components of the WMFT the changes were significant (P < .05) Secondary outcome variables, including the SIS, exhibited a similar pattern.
Conclusion: Mild to moderately impaired patients who are 3-9 months post-stroke demonstrate

Recent advances
What is High Risk Infant?
A High risk infant is broadly defined as one who requires more than the standard monitoring and care offered to a healthy term newborn infant.
According to American Academy of Pediatrics, High risk infant may be defined as
Preterm Infant
Infant with special healthcare needs or dependence on technology
Infant at risk because of family issues.
Infant with anticipated early death.
High-Risk Clinical Signs
At 4 months of age, hypertonicity of the trunk or extremities is recognized as a high-risk clinical sign.
Less alternate kicking movement compared with typically developing LBW infant.
Abnormalities of kicking described by Prechtl as “cramped-synchronized,” that is, limited in variety and characterized by “rigid movement with all limbs and the trunk contracting and relaxing almost simultaneously,”
Preterm Infant
Preterm infant is the infant which is born before 36 weeks of gestation
Usually preterm infant have low birth weight i.e. less than 2.5 kgs
Determinants of High Risk Infant
Biological Risk
Attributed to medical/physical condition presence of
Asphyxia
Neonatal seizures
Prenatal exposure to drugs or alcohol
Brain-lesions
Low birth weight
Established Risk
Associated with diagnosis that is clearly established like,
Congenital malformation
Chromosomal abnormalities
CNS disorders
Metabolic disease.
Environmental & social risk
Refers to competency in parenting roles and factors in family dynamics
Suboptimal levels of stimulation and interaction in NICU
Inadequate parent-infant attachment
Insufficient educational preparation for caregiver roles
Meager financial resources of parents
Limited or absent family support to assist in taking care of and nurturing the infants in home environment.
The systems of infants develop in their stipulated time during gestational period prenatal or preterm results in specific injury
Commonest condition which requires early intervention
Newborn Maturity Rating—Ballard Score
Widely adopted because of the time efficiency
Ballard instrument involves only six physical and six neurological criteria, with a 0 to 5 scale and a maturity rating
designed to be used for neonates (20 to 44 weeks gestation) from birth through 3 days of age and has demonstrated concurrent validity with the Dubowitz gestational age calculation tool.
Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale
30- to 45-minute examination consists of observing, eliciting, and scoring 28 behavioral items on a 9-point scale and 18 reflex items on a 4-point scale
Six behavioral state categories are outlined in the NBAS: deep sleep,

Principle of orthosis and its function
Types of orthosis
Different types of orthosis used in neurological disorder.
Recent advances.
Principle of orthosis
Three point pressure principle:
1) forms the mechanical basis for orthosis correction
2) single force is applied at the area of deformity or angulation
3) two additional counter forces act in the opposing direction.
Functions of orthosis
Prevent deformity
Assist function of a weak limb
Maintain proper alignment of the joints
Inhibit tone
Protect against injury of a weak joint
Allow for maximal functional independence
Facilitates motion
Lower limb orthosis
ANKLE FOOT ORTHOSIS (AFO)
It consist of shoe attachment, ankle control, uprights and a proximal leg band.
Ankle Control
Ankle control – 1) by assisting motion
2) by limiting motion
Weak dorsiflexor dorsiflexion assistance Posterior leaf spring
Ankle control
Limited motion ankle control
Anterior Stop (dorsiflexion stop): determines the limits of ankle dorsiflexion.
Posterior Stop (plantarflexion stop): determines the limits of ankle plantarflexion.
Robinson et al (2008) carried out a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to compare the effectiveness of a temporary night splint with prolonged standing on a tilt table to prevent loss of ankle movement early after stroke in 30 people. Results suggest that a night splint in this cohort of people was as effective as the tilt table in maintaining range of movement. Compliance was 87% in the people who used the tilt table and 73% in the people who wore splints. It is suggested that an ankle splint can be used for preventing the loss of range of movement at the ankle joint (in people with stroke) when positioned at plantar grade.
Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthoses
Individuals with more extensive paralysis or limb deformity may benefit from KAFOs, which consist of a shoe attachment, foundation, ankle control, knee control, and superstructure.
Recent advances
An active knee orthosis for the physical therapy of neurological disorders

Structure: Articular Surfaces
Proximal segment: Temporal bone
Distal segment; Condyles of Mandible
Trabecular bone with no articular cartilage
Fibrocartilage: dense, avascular collagenous tissue that contains some cartilaginous cells.
Fibrocartilage - present in areas, intended to withstand repeated and high-level stress.
For example – biting, chewing
In closed mouth position, the coronoid process sits under the zygomatic arch, but it can be palpated below the arch when the mouth is open.
Articular Disc
Biconcave
Thickness- 2 mm anteriorly -3 mm posteriorly-1 mm
Anterior & posterior portions- vascular and innervated
Middle part- Fibrocartilaginous, force-accepting segment
Attachment - medial and lateral poles of the condyle of the mandible
Bilaminar retrodiskal pad-
Superior lamina – elastic in nature
Inferior lamina – inelastic
The superior lamina allows the disk to translate anteriorly along the articular eminence during mouth opening ,its elastic properties assist in repositioning the disk posteriorly during mouth closing.
The inferior lamina simply serves as a tether on the disk, limiting forward translation
Capsule
TM joint capsule is not as well defined
Anterior, medial, and posterior capsule - quite thin and loose
Lateral aspect - stronger and is reinforced with long fibers
Ligaments
Primary ligament:
TEMPOROMANDIBULAR LIGAMENT: (suspensory ligament)
Outer portion: limits downward and posterior motion of the mandible,
limits rotation of the condyle during mouth opening.
Inner portion: Limitation of posterior translation of the condyle pro

Functions of Temporomandibular Joint.
Most frequently used joints
Talking, chewing, and swallowing
Cartilage covering the articular surfaces is designed to tolerate repeated and high-level stress.
Musculature is designed to provide both power and intricate control.
Speech requires fine control of the jaw, and the ability to chew requires great strength.
Mandibular Movements
Depression (mouth opening)
Elevation (mouth closing)
Protrusion (jutting the chin forward)

Factors affecting posture
Definition
Good posture is the attitude which, is assumed by body parts to maintain stability and balance with minimum effort and least strain during supportive and non supportive positions.
CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD POSTURE (Prerequisites of good posture)
For good posture to be maintained the following must be obtained:
The ability to maintain 'the body upright in good and erect position with less energy.
The ability to maintain balance in upright position via keeping the line of gravity near the center of the base of support.
Quadruped Vs Bipedal
Quadruped posture
Body weight is distributed between the upper and lower extremities
Good stability
Bipedal posture
Unique found in human
Small BOS
Use of upper extremities
Instability caused by a small BoS and a high CoM
BASE OF SUPPORT
BOS is defined by an area bounded posteriorly by the tips of the heels and anteriorly by a line joining the tips of the toes
CENTER OF MASS
It is the point where the mass of the body is centered
Position of the CoM is not fixed
CoM moves lower to a location in the standing adult at about the level of the second sacral segment in the midsagittal plane.
POSTURAL CONTROL
refers to a person’s ability to maintain stability of the body and body segments in response to forces that threaten to disturb the body’s equilibrium
POSTURAL CONTROL
STATIC POSTUREThe body and its segments are aligned and maintained in certain position

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2) Physiotherapy
3. Motor Neuron Disease
Motor Neuron Disease are a group of
neurodegenerative disorders that affects the
nerves in the spine and brain to progressively
lose its function.
Motor neuron diseases (MND) include a
heterogeneous spectrum of inherited and
sporadic (no family history) clinical disorders of
the upper motor neurons (UMNs), lower motor
neurons (LMNs), or a combination of both.
6. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a
neurodegenerative disease, characterized by
progressive degeneration of motor neurons in
the spinal cord, brain stem, and motor cortex,
leading to progressive muscle atrophy and
weakness.
7. Clinical Features
UPPER MOTOR

1) Loss of Dexterity
2) Muscle Weakness
3) Spasticity
4) Hyperreflexia
5) Pathological
reflexes
LOWER MOTOR
NEURON

affect
tricyclic antidepressants,
such as amitriptyline , or
selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors (SSRIs)
fixed-dose combination of
dextromethorphan/ quinidine
reduced the severity and
frequency of crying and
laughing behaviors.
20. Management for Dysphagia
• dietary
modifications,
such as adapting
foods fluid
consistencies for
easier and safer
swallowing
DIETARY
MODIFICATION
• regarding dietary
strategies for
maximizing
calories and
nutrients and
maintaining
adequate
hydration
PATIENT
EDUCATION • Adaptations to promote
swallowing such as
tucking the chin down
during swallowing or
performing a clearing
cough after each
swallow.
ALTERNATE
METHODS
21. PEG procedure.
A PEG may be recommended as the disease
progresses.
A PEG is a type of gastrostomy tube inserted
via endoscopic surgery that creates a
permanent opening into the stomach for the
introduction of food.
Studies have found that PEG insertion may
prolong survival. Patients with PEG were
found to live 1 to 4 months longer than those
individuals who refused it.
22.
23. Management of Dysphagia
A palatal lift prosthesis may be prescribed for
individuals with good articulation but who have a
breathy voice quality or decreased loudness
because of excessive air loss through the nose.
The device, a dental appliance designed to attach
to the existing teeth and to elevate the soft palate,
is custom-made by a prosthodontist.
It allows the soft palate to close around the
surrounding structures such as the pharynx, making
verbal communication more understandable by
reducing or eliminating hypernasal speech.
The device also lowers the hard palate, which
reduces tongue movement allowing speech to be
less fatiguing
32. Respiratory Muscle Weakness
Inspiratory Muscle Training
Airway clearance technique
HF-CWO is an external noninvasive modality
that transmits high-frequency oscillatory
pressures through the chest wall, thereby
mobilizing secretions from the small peripheral
airways and enhancing secretion clearance
and gas exchange
34. Gait training
Weight of the device is an important factor to
consider in decision making, while also taking
into account which device will ensure optimal
function and safety.
Wheeled walkers, which do require the patient
to lift the device, are usually recommended.
35. Modification for mobility
Chair glides or stairway lifts can be suggested
for those individuals who live in multilevel
homes
Power wheelchair and power scooters may be
suitable for a patient with adequate UE and
trunk strength in the earlier stages of ALS.

38. DISEASE-SPECIFIC AND
QUALITY-OF-LIFE MEASURES
DISEASE SPECIFIC SCALE:
ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS)
Appel ALS Scale (AALS)
ALS Severity Scale (ALSSS)
Norris Scale
QUALITY OF LIFE MEASURES:
SF-36
Schedule for Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life—
Direct Weighting (SEIQoL-DW
Sickness Impact Profile (SIP).
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Assessment
Questionnaire (ALSAQ-40)
39. A study conducted by Annerieke C van
Groenestijn et al (2019)
To study the effectiveness of aerobic exercise
therapy (AET) on disease-specific and generic
HRQoL in ambulatory patients with ALS.
Consisted of two groups: AET consisted of a
16-week aerobic cycling exercise program and
Usual Care group.
Aerobic Exercise Therapy in Ambulatory
Patients With ALS: A Randomized Controlled
Trial
40. Primary outcome measures were the 40-item ALS
assessment questionnaire (ALSAQ-40), and the
mental component summary (MCS) and physical
component summary (PCS) scores of the short-
form survey (SF-36).
AET+UC was not superior to UC alone in
preserving HRQoL in ambulatory ALS patient.
However, the study was unfortunately
underpowered, because only 10 patients
completed the protocol. AET+UC may preserve
disease-specific HRQoL in slow progressor.
