Physiotherapeutic Management for Acromioclavicular Joint Sprain With Volar Intercalated Segment Instability at the Wrist: A Case Report.

Among sports enthusiasts and young individuals, acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries are highly prevalent. In this, we discussed the comprehensive assessment and management of a 22-year-old male patient who is a student by occupation and a recreational badminton player who presented with left shoulder and wrist pain following a road traffic accident. The study highlights the clinical findings, diagnostic assessment, and therapeutic interventions for the patient with volar intercalated segment instability and a grade 1 AC joint sprain.

Effectiveness of Tailor-Made Physiotherapy Protocol in Smartphone-Addicted Individuals With Text Neck Syndrome and Short Message Service (SMS) Thumb.

Background Smartphone usage has led to an increase in text neck syndrome (TNS) and short message service (SMS) thumb, causing neck, shoulder, and thumb pain, affecting daily activities. Limited treatment options are available for these conditions, and early intervention is crucial to prevent chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. This study sought to determine the impact of a personalized physiotherapy treatment plan on alleviating TNS and SMS thumb in individuals who demonstrate excessive smartphone usage.

Physiotherapeutic Approach Toward Restoring Upper Limb Function Post the Surgical Excision of Desmoid Fibromatosis Tumor Over the Right Upper Arm.

Desmoid fibromatosis is an uncommon soft tissue tumor that is locally aggressive and can result in both pain and limited range of motion (ROM). The rehabilitation protocol is designed to promote optimal recovery and functional outcomes by following a phased approach. Initially, the focus is on managing pain and performing passive ROM exercises immediately after surgery.

Integrative Physiotherapy Management of Cervical Radiculopathy and Concurrent Tarlov Cysts.

Tarlov cysts, also known as perineural cysts, are usually associated with lumbar discomfort and neurological deficits, with an uncertain etiology that may involve genetic predisposition and collagen disorders, possibly influenced by traumatic events and hemorrhagic episodes. Diagnostic methods such as magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography myelography are commonly employed and treatment approaches range from conservative measures to more invasive interventions. This case involves a 42-year-old female with cervical pain and upper limb symptoms; a comprehensive assessment, including diagnostic imaging and physiotherapeutic interventions, resulted in significant improvements in pain intensity, range of motion, manual muscle testing, and functional scale scores after a two-week physiotherapy intervention.

Rehabilitation Strategies for Wrist Pain in a Patient With Thalassemia Major and Distal Ulnar Hypoplasia: A Case Report.

This case study examines the rehabilitation process of a 24-year-old female patient with thalassemia major (TM), a hereditary hemoglobinopathy, who also suffered from distal ulnar hypoplasia, a congenital anomaly that causes pain and affects the wrist joint's strength and range of motion. The patient underwent a comprehensive physical rehabilitation program that aimed to address the challenges posed by ulnar hypoplasia. This program included a combination of customized exercises, splinting, and orthotic interventions to improve hand and wrist function.

The Impact of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy on Motor Recovery in Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction Having Cardiomegaly in an Intensive Care Unit.

Stroke can be characterized by rapidly emerging neurological manifestations of global or focal impairment of neurological functionality, with consequences lasting a day or more or giving rise to mortality, with no significant etiology other than vascular origin. A middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarct is a form of stroke that develops when the MCA, one of the primary arteries providing blood to the brain, becomes blocked or obstructed. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is an emerging method that has mainly been utilized to rehabilitate stroke patients, especially upper extremities.

Implementation of Multimodal Stimulation and Physical Therapy in Improving the Level of Consciousness and Recovery in Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis.

This case report aims to explore the use of multimodal sensory stimulation and physical therapy in rehabilitating a 30-year-old female patient with severe acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). ADEM, characterized by autoimmune demyelination in the central nervous system, presents challenges in clinical management, particularly in cases with severe motor deficits and coordination issues. The patient's progress was measured using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS-E), and Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R).

Septic Arthritis Associated With Hip Joint Subluxation and Epiphyseal Plate Deformation as a Sequala of Sickle Cell Anemia.

This case report emphasizes the critical nature of septic arthritis in pediatric patients, particularly its predilection for large joints like the hip. It underscores the importance of rapid diagnosis and early intervention to preserve joint function. The case involves a six-year-old patient with sickle cell anemia who presented with persistent hip pain and hip subluxation and underwent hip joint arthrotomy.
