Postural supports in wheelchairs are important to ensure proper positioning and function. Examples of postural supports include the seat, backrest, footrests, and armrests. A client-centered approach involving the client, caregivers, and therapist is important for selecting the appropriate wheelchair and seating system. Proper positioning can reduce complications like pressure sores and respiratory issues by supporting the trunk and allowing for full expansion of the lungs. Armrests in particular can assist with more efficient breathing by keeping the arms in a closed-chain position.
Total Hip Replacement Complications & Surgery RecoveryDenesa Health
An orthopaedics is the first person to concern when you are suffering from an issue in your hip joint. He carries out the entire diagnosis and suggests if your condition requires surgery or not. The damage in the hip joint if not curable by medicines or physiotherapy calls for Hip Replacement. The hip consists of two main parts that are the bone and the cartilage or the ball and the shaft. If the condition of the patient requires the replacement of both the parts, it is known as Total Hip Replacement or Total Hip Arthroplasty

To Compare The Effect Of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation and Static...ijtsrd
Background: Flexibility is an important physiological component of physical fitness and reduced flexibility can cause inefficiency in the workplace and is also a risk factor for low back pain. Increasing hamstring flexibility was reported to be an effective method for increasing hamstring muscle performance.Objective: To compare the effects of modified hold-relax proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching technique and static stretching on flexibility of hamstring muscle.Materials and Methods: In this comparative study 60 subjects were selected by convenience sampling and research design was comparative and experiment in nature. Subjects were selected on the basis of inclusion criteria. Subjects were divided into two groups, group A and group B allocating alternate subjects to group A and group B, 30 in each group. Group A was treated with Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation with cryotherapy and Group B was treated with Static Stretching with cryotherapy. Baseline assessment was taken on pre stretch, post stretch and after 24 hours using Active Knee Extension test and Modified back saver sit and reach test.Results: Both the groups showed significant improvement in hamstring flexibility. (p0.05).Conclusion: Thus we concluded that the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Stretching Technique and Static Stretching both are effective to improve flexibility of hamstring muscle and clinically both the interventions are equally effective.

Pink bands in a criss- cross pattern on a ten- nis player’s shoulder, blue strips surrounding a cy- clist’s knee, a red streak along a hurdler’s Achilles tendon: clearly athletes, Olympic and otherwise, subscribe to the use of elastic therapeutic, or kinesiology, tape. But is this a fashion statement or does kinesiology tape have a real function?
Do We Make Taping More Complicated Than It Needs ToBe?RockTape
Kinesiology tape (K-tape) is gaining popularity with healthcare providers, patients, and athletes. I have used K-tape for more than 10 years, but it wasn’t until the 2008 summer Olympics that my patients started requesting that I use K-tape as a treatment modality. As a sports chiropractor who was also an athletic trainer, I had been using different types of tape already with the main goal of locking down a joint for support.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

2. What are Postural Supports?
• The World Health Organization defines postural support as:
Any part of the body that comes in contact with a surface, such as a wheelchair.
• Examples: Wheelchair (postural Supports)
Seat
Backrest
Foot rests
Arm rests
Lateral support
Lumbar supports
4. OT Domain of Practice
• Biomechanical Frame of Reference
• Rehabilitation Frame of Reference
• Model of Human Occupation Frame of Reference
5. Wheelchair seating: A Client Centered Process
• Client (preferences, understanding of day to day needs in a wheelchair and postural supports)
• Spouse/ partner
• Family
• Care givers
• Therapist (Knowledge base)
6. Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy looked at the
Wheelchair Procurement Process through the perspectives of the
clients, their family members, care givers and the Prescribers.
This client centered study examined barriers to appropriate
seating systems for individuals with physical disabilities and
their families and caregivers. Clearly the involvement of the
consumer client and the practitioners’ knowledge must be
collaborative to provide a wheelchair that offers the postural
support to meet the needs of the client on a functional, social
and environmental level.
7. Factors in choosing a wheelchair
Functionality: What is the environment the client will be using the wheelchair in?

Seat
Backrest

9. Appropriate wheelchair seating and postural supports can reduce many
future complications:
Pressure sores
Secondary disabling conditions
In efficient respiration
10. Armstrong (2008) pp. 57
Prevention of Pressure sores through good postural support.
Evaluate and Monitor the following areas:
- Ischial tuberosity/ sacrum
- Back of the head
- Spine of the scapula
- Calcaneus
- Elbows, knees, wrists, back of knees and hips
11. Proper postural supports such as
armrests assist in allowing for more
efficient breathing. If a client rests their
arms on their arm rests (close chained
activity), the respiratory muscles will be
more effective while preforming reversal
of muscle action.
12. Inefficient Respiration
Poor posture while seated for a long period of time can inhibit the normal up and out motion of the
ribcage. This is particularly important for clients with poor trunk control, such as a person with cerebral
palsy (CP) or Muscular Dystrophy (MD).
If a person who is lacking trunk control is placed in a wheelchair that does not provide adequate trunk
support and other supports, the rib cage may not expand enough to allow the lungs to fully inflate,
resulting in inefficient respiration, and less oxygen getting to the body.
13. • A study conducted by Bakes and Devenport titled “Wheelchair Components and
Pulmonary Function in Children with Cerebral Palsy found the following:
• A person with Cerebral Palsy, who experiences no obstruction in airways, may
experience less efficiency during respiration, without correct postural supports.
• If this same individual experiences further compromise by the development of
secondary physical deformities, such as scoliosis, caused by poor postural seating, the
effects on respiration would be further compromised.
• In this study, it was found that lateral trunk stability through the use of an anterior
pelvic belt, upper extremity supports as well as posterior seat tilt of 30 degrees, may
align the trunk and lessen weight or compression on the abdomen, thus allowing the
diaphragm to move more freely, leading to more efficient respiration (Bakes,
Davenport, 2012 pp. 84-85).
