A therapist can recommend the appropriate program for you based on frequency, intensity, type of exercise and time. A range of therapeutic exercise options are often recommended for injury prevention and rehabilitation, and can also be used to address faulty movement patterns that may have been the cause of an injury. Our expert Physiotherapist tailor an exercise program for your specific needs. We all know the benefits of being physically active and fit, not only for our physical wellbeing heart health, lung capacity, weight management and a whole host of other benefits but for our mental wellbeing too. Exercise therapy uses specific movements to improve the way the body functions. It focuses on moving the body and its different parts to relieve symptoms and improve mobility and of course levels of fitness. You can use exercise therapy for the prevention and management of pain and along the way, get to know your body and the way it works better. An exercise therapy program may include exercises to: Maximise physical abilities. Optimise muscular functioning. Improve physical fitness. Improve general health and wellbeing. Many times you will be instructed in a home exercise program. The home program is a group of exercises that are prescribed by your physical therapist that you perform on your own. The home exercise program can be very important to help you return to normal function. Exercise therapy can also help relieve stress, get a better night s sleep, combat depression and generally improve our sense of wellbeing. It s always important to consult your doctor before starting any exercise program if you have any health issues.

A fracture is a broken bone. It can range from a thin crack to a complete break. Fracture can happen in the bone crosswise, lengthwise, in several places, or into many pieces. Most fractures happen when a bone is impacted by more force or pressure than it can support. Assessment of fractures is done from History of injury,Muscle spasm,Oedema,Warmth,Crepitus,Deformity and Radiography. Physio Kare s aims for Fracture Rehabilitation To initiate fastest healing at the site of fracture. To reduce pain and inflammation. To reduce swelling. To Increase range of motion to complete extent of joint

Anthropometry Anthropometry is the process of measuring physical dimensions of the human body. Anthropometry is used in sports science for evaluating the athletes' size, shape, body proportions, body composition and degree of asymmetry between the dominant and non-dominant limbs. The measurements such as stature, body mass, skinfold thickness, girth measurements which are assessed help to derive at body fat %, lean muscle mass and somatotype. This information can be used to customise training programmes and nutritional intervention. Anthropometry has the potential to be a valuable tool in evaluating and monitoring the athlete. A high body fat percentage is seen as a negative, and indicates that an individual has a low lean muscle mass, which would not only directly affect strength and power output, but also recovery from high intensity bouts of exercise. The ability to shuttle metabolites (such as lactate) post-training is largely affected by the amount of lean muscle mass, therefore if an athlete has a relatively low lean muscle mass it would delay recovery post high intensity training sessions. Aerobic Capacity Aerobic capacity is scientifically measured in terms of the Maximal Oxygen Uptake or VO2max. It is defined as an individual s maximum capacity to consume oxygen and further, to utilize this oxygen at a cellular level by the body. Traditionally VO2max has been considered the Gold Standard for endurance performance assessment with Maximum oxygen uptake values, in healthy individuals, ranging from 25 to 80 ml. per kg per min. This is influenced by a number of variables, including, age, gender and level of aerobic fitness. However, VO2max is not the only determinant of endurance performance, with other factors, predominantly those at the local tissue level, playing a role in endurance capabilities. Depending on the nature of the sport there are different ways to measure aerobic capacity. Endurance sports such as track running, road running, cycling will typically use a treadmill or cycle VO2max test. The lactate threshold, peak power output and VO2 are among the important parameters assessed. Field sports such as hockey or football use aerobic capacity tests like the shuttle run (Bleep Test, Yo-yo intermittent recovery test) to suit the nature of the sport, where athletes start and stop. Anaerobic Capacity Operating within the body are four distinct energy systems. Two of these energy systems are anaerobic (oxygen independent), and two are aerobic (oxygen dependent). Testing manuals traditionally categorise exercise test as being either aerobic or anaerobic. In certain sporting codes such as sprint cycling and rowing the athlete is more dependent on their anaerobic capacity. For these sports we use tests such as the Wingate Anaerobic Power test. For field sports where there may be an anaerobic component we would use a test such as the Repeat Sprint Ability Test to determine if an athlete can cope with the sports anaerobic requirements. Agility Agility is the ability to accelerate, decelerate and change direction at maximal speed. This is an important component of most field and court ball sports as players need to be able to be mobile on the field and court of play. Speed and agility are distinct physical qualities that require specific training and testing. Scientific tests that look at an athlete agility include the T-Test and the Illinois Agility Test which are the best practice assessments for high performance testing. Maximum Running Speed and Acceleration The purpose of these tests is to determine the athlete's maximum sprint speed and their ability to accelerate from a stationary position.

EEGEMGNCVBERAVEP EEG! Electroencephalography (EEG) is the recording of electrical activity of the brain, over a short period of time, usually 20 40 minutes, as recorded from multiple electrodes placed on the scalp. In neurology, the main diagnostic application of EEG is in the case of epilepsy ( Fits ), as epileptic activity can create clear abnormalities on a standard EEG study. A secondary clinical use of EEG is in the diagnosis of coma, encephalopathies, and brain death. EMG An electromyogram (EMG) is a test that is used to record the electrical activity of muscles. When muscles are active, they produce an electrical current. This current is usually proportional to the level of the muscle activity. An EMG is also referred to as a myogram.EMGs can be used to detect abnormal electrical activity of muscle that can occur in many diseases and conditions, including muscular dystrophy, inflammation of muscles, pinched nerves, peripheral nerve damage (damage to nerves in the arms and legs), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), myasthenia gravis, disc herniation, and others. NCV A nerve conduction velocity test (NCV) is an electrical test that is used to determine the adequacy of the conduction of the nerve impulse as it courses down a nerve. This test is used to detect signs of nerve injury. In this test, the nerve is electrically stimulated, and the electrical impulse 'down stream' from the stimulus is measured. This is usually done with surface patch electrodes (they are similar to those used for an electrocardiogram) that are placed on the skin over the nerve at various locations. One electrode stimulates the nerve with a very mild electrical impulse. The resulting electrical activity is recorded by the other electrodes. The distance between electrodes and the time it takes for electrical impulses to travel between electrodes are used to calculate the speed of impulse transmission (nerve conduction velocity). A decreased speed of transmission indicates nerve disease. A nerve conduction velocity test is often done at the same time as an electromyogram (EMG) in order to exclude or detect muscle conditions. BERA BERA (Brainstem evoked response audiometry), ABR (Auditory brain stem response), BAER (Brainstem auditory evoked response audiometry).BERA is an electro-physiological test procedure which studies the electrical potential generated at the various levels of the auditory system starting from cochlea to cortex. This investigation was first described by Jewett and Williston in 1971. VEP Visual Evoked Potentials are used to detect lesions of the optic nerve, or inflammation of the optic nerve (optic neuritis), and also optic nerve demyelination as with demyelinating disease (Multiple Sclerosis).

Clinical neurophysiology is the study of the functions of the nervous system in the clinical setting, for diagnostics, intensive care, and intraoperative monitoring, etc. It utilizes techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), motor evoked potentials (MEP), brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAER), etc. This site is basically for neurophysiologists to exchange information in this profession, as an online technical reference, study resource, and discussion forum.

Flower shedding is a major constraint for yield in this crop.In general about 10-20% of the flowers only develop into mature pods. However, it is reported that with proper management of the crop by applying 20 kg/ N/ha, at flowering, the flower drop can be minimized. Further, application of calcium chloride (0.1%) + NAA (100 PPM) when the flowers begin to open in the first inflorescence is reported to improve fruit set and consequently yield.Sheriff et al., (1967): Pod setting studies in Dolichos Lablab L.Chinnas wamy, (1979): Source Sink relationship in Dolichos Lablab.Karivaratharaju and Ramamoorthy, (1990): Photosynthesis by fruit walls of Lablab bean and their role in seed development.Singh,(1990): Leaf-area estimation in hyacinth bean by non-destructive linear methodKim and Do,(1995): Control of growth habit in determinate Lablab bean by temperature and photoperiod.Kim and Okubo, (1996): Hormonal control of growth habit in determinate Lablab.Saud, et al., (1997): A method of leaf area determination in Dolichos lablab.Uddin, et al., (1998): Studies on phenology and fruiting behaviour in Lablab bean.Hall and Naidu, (2004): Genotypic difference for drought resistanceRaghubansh et al.

In certain cases such as in a stress fracture, a bone scan is required to know the exact condition of the fracture. The treatment involves Post Fracture Rehabilitation Procedure.

Clinical Neurophysiology

EEG (Electroencephalogram) Test NEURO PHYSIOLOGYinvestigations are done on 32 Channel Digital Video Recordingmachine from RMS Company. EEG or electroencephalogram, is a tool used to image the brain while it is performing a cognitive task. EEG test has a role in assessing brain activity in many conditions or procedures, such as: Epilepsy Memory disorders such as Alzheimer s disease Sleep disorders Brain surgery or inflammation Unconsciousness Brain death in coma patients Tumors Shivering Precaution Preparation Patient should not consume caffeine before the EEG test. Patient should avoid using oil, hair styling products (hairspray or gel) on the day of the exam. It is mandatory to bring one attendant for the investigation of EEG. It is reported by trained Neurologist. When examining the recordings, the neurologist looks for certain patterns that represent problems in a particular area of the brain. For example, certain types of seizures have specific brain wave patterns that the trained neurologist recognizes. Likewise, a normal brain has a specific brain wave pattern that the trained neurologist recognizes. The neurologist looks at all recorded tracings, decides what is normal and what is not, and determine what the abnormal tracings represent.

It covers EEG (Electroencephalogram), NCV (Nerve Conduction Velocity Test), EMG (Electromyogram), BERA and VEP/VER
