Aim: To determine the effect of bilateral strengthening of scapular muscles to improve dynamic balance in post stroke individuals.
Objectives: To find the effect of bilateral scapular muscles strengthening in stroke and to find the upper trunk balance in stroke after intervention.
Materials and Method: 42 patients were included according to Brunstrom’s recovery stage 2 and voluntary control grade 2 of upper limb were randomized by chit method into two groups, group A (conventional Physiotherapy{PT}) and group B (bilateral scapular muscle strengthening and conventional PT) - with 21 patients in each group. All the patients were assessed with Berg balance scale (BBS), voluntary control grading of upper limb (VCG), and bilateral scapular muscle recruitment by Electromyography (EMG). The treatment was given for 5 days a week for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks effect of interventions were assessed by BBS, VCG and EMG.
Conclusion: Bilateral scapular muscles strengthening combined with conventional PT showed improvement in dynamic balance and had an additional effect on muscle recruitment, control of upper limb and mobility in stroke patients.

Aim: To study the effect of structured exercise protocol for post menopausal stress urinary incontinence.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of structured exercise protocol for post menopausal stress urinary incontinence.
Methods: Ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Ethical Committee, KIMSDU, Karad. Initially the awareness program was conducted in karad and nearby areas. The selected sample was then studies at Krishna hospital, karad. 58 patients were equally divided into two group using convenient sampling with random allocation.Group A (n=29) , Group B (n=29). Baseline treatment was IFT and bladder training program. Group A was given structured exercises, Group B was given conventional exercises. Outcome measures were analyzed after 6 weeks.
Result: Intergroup comparison in group A result showed improvement in pad test (p = <0.0001). Group B was statistically extremely significant in improvement in pad test (p = 0.0002). Group A result showed that improvement in pelvic floor muscle strength (p = <0.0001). whereas Group B showed improvement in pelvic floor muscle strength (p = <0.0001). Group A result showed improvement in all parts of kings health questionnaire (p = 0.0001) and group B also showed improvement in kings health questionnaire (p = 0.0001) Intra group analysis reviled one hour pad test, KHQ, PFM strength considered significant in both groups.
Conclusion: The study concluded that structured exercises protocol along with IFT and bladder training was equally effective in reducing dribbling of urine, improvement in QOL, PFM strength.

Aim: To study the impact of Thera-Pep and Forced Expiratory Technique in Chronic Bronchitis patients.
Objectives: To find the effect of Thera-pep device in mobilizing secretion. To find the effect of forced expiratory technique in mobilizing secretion and To compare the effect of Thera-pep and forced expiratory technique in chronic bronchitis patients.
Materials and Method: 54 patients were included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, were randomized by chit method into two groups. Group A (Forced Expiratory technique with coughing) and Group B (Thera-PEP device with coughing) - with 27 patients in each group. All the patients were assessed with Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR). The treatment was given for twice a day for 6 days a week for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, effect of interventions were assessed by 6MWT and PEFR.
Results: There was no significant difference in 6MWT and PEFR score in comparison of both experimental and conventional intervention. The inter group values of 6MWT and PEFR showed significant improvement in chronic bronchitis patients. The intra group values of 6MWT and PEFR showed no significant improvement in comparison of the techniques in chronic bronchitis patients.
Conclusion: Both the techniques are effective on removal and mobilizing of secretion individually in chronic bronchitis patients. However, the techniques when compared with each other were equally effective and there was no significant difference between each other.
