Effect of early weight bearing program with conventional physiotherapy on functional outcomes in surgically treated proximal tibia fracture: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Patients are often instructed to avoid weight bearing on the proximal tibia for 6 - 12 weeks post-surgery to avoid fracture fixation failure. However, delayed weight bearing leads to delayed mobility, causing difficulties in daily activities; problems such as pain, limited knee ROM, reduced quadriceps muscle strength, and impaired functional outcomes are reported in long-term follow-up. This study primarily aimed to evaluate the feasibility and explore the effect size.

Reliability and validity of modified upper limb neurodynamic tests in patients with cervical radiculopathy.

Background: Neurodynamic Tests (NDTs) are used to assess neural mechanosensitivity in various conditions such as neural sliding, tension or inflammatory dysfunction. But in some upper quadrant dysfunctions, standard testing procedure of NDT cannot be assessed or tolerated by patient.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to determine the validity, intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of modified NDTs via median and ulnar nerve in patients with cervical radiculopathy.

Effect of Pain Neuroscience Education with Conventional Physiotherapy via Telerehabilitation on Pain Catastrophizing and Function in Patients with Osteoarthritis Knee: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Aim: By explaining to the patient the biological processes underneath their pain condition, pain neuroscience education (PNE) is a form of educational intervention that aims to relieve pain and impairment.

Materials And Methods: Patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) referred to outpatient physiotherapy clinic in India during August 2021 to June 2022 were asked to participate. Out of the eligible patients, 35 were randomly assigned to PNE group and 35 to the control group.

Health-related quality of life in patients with breast cancer surgery and undergoing chemotherapy in Ahmednagar district.

Background: Breast cancer in India it varies from as low as 5 per 100,000 female populations per year in rural areas to 30 per 100,000 female populations per year in urban areas. Medical treatments of surgery, chemotherapy etc. for cancer usually precipitates with serious adverse effects affecting overall quality of life in physical, psychological and social aspects.

Indian (Marathi) version of the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI): Translation and validation in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Background: The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is the most commonly used self-administered questionnaire which is a valid and reliable instrument to assess the proportion of pain and disability in shoulder disorders. There is no evidence of SPADI questionnaire being translated into regional Indian language (Marathi).

Objective: This study aims to translate and culturally adapt and validate the Marathi version of the SPADI questionnaire.
