Infertility is one of the major concerns among the younger population worldwide. Obesity and physical inactivity have been found to be the common factors leading to infertility. Insulin resistance seen among the obese women results in hyperandrogenemia leading to several other consequences and finally marks anovulation. This review examined recent peer-reviewed literature including primary studies and systematic reviews that examined the reasons leading to infertility and effectiveness of HIIT on reproductive health of infertile women. Twenty-six studies were included that described incidence and prevalence role of hormonal imbalance obesity HIIT and its effects on insulin sensitivity and obesity. Implementation of HIIT was found effective in regularization of ovulatory cycles weight loss and improving insulin sensitivity. Some studies were done with combination of other interventions. However less dropouts were noticed in exercise as compared with other interventions. Simple description and comprehensive clarification on HIIT inside this literature might assist to recognize the efficacy of exercising on reproductive fitness of women. Overall evidence recommended that HIIT may provide health benefits to women and in the treatment of infertility if deliberate and carried out as per proper protocol in progressive interdisciplinary and approachable manner for women.","PeriodicalId":213234,"journal":{"name":"RGUHS Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122229348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Effect of Blood Flow Restriction Training in Rehabilitation of Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction of Knee: A Case Study","authors":"Adwaid Nambiar, Noble Vavachan, Hariharasudhan Ravichandran, Kshama Susheel Shetty, Vipinnath Eranholy Nalupurakkal","doi":"10.26463/rjpt.3_1_1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26463/rjpt.3_1_1","url":null,"abstract":"The aim of this case report was to evaluate the outcome of blood flow resistance training in the rehabilitation of posterolateral corner reconstruction in a 26-year-old male who met with a road traffic accident eight months ago. He was diagnosed with grade 3 anterior cruciate ligament ACL and posterior horn of medial meniscus along with proximal tibia posterolateral corner injury with posterior cruciate ligament PCL tear over right knee joint following which he underwent arthroscopy surgery for the same. Though he underwent early postoperative rehabilitation as prescribed he continued to experience difficulty in climbing down the stairs swelling over right knee crepitus in the right knee joint associated with movements. He visited outpatient department of Alvarsquos College of Physiotherapy and Research Centre at Moodbidri for evaluation and further management. Residual muscle weakness and associated impairments were identified in the examination and hence was suggested to continue rehabilitation for the same. To strengthen the muscles blood flow restriction training protocol was incorporated in the routine rehabilitation of posterolateral corner reconstruction. The literature on effect of blood flow restriction training following posterolateral corner injuries is scarce and the present study outcomes could provide some insight into the same. Lower Extremity Function Scale was used to evaluate the outcomes of blood flow restriction training before and after the intervention. A total of 15 sessions of blood flow restriction training was given for quadriceps and hamstrings and the outcomes were assessed. Significant changes were observed in lower extremity functional scale from a pre-intervention score of 42.580 to post-intervention score of 6080. The increase in the scores above nine scales indicate an improvement in the functional performances of lower extremity. It can be thus be concluded that blood flow restriction training could be effective in improving residual lower extremity deficits following arthroscopic posterolateral corner injuries.","PeriodicalId":213234,"journal":{"name":"RGUHS Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"505 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134074676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patient underwent a four week supervised Tendon Neuroplastic Training TNT program and static stretching exercises for extensor muscle group of wrist joint and isometric training for wrist extensors in both 90 degree elbow flexion and 0 degree elbow extension positions to improve functional integrity. In addition rotator cuff muscles and scapular muscles were strengthened and supinator muscle strengthening exercises were performed. Outcome measures were recorded evaluated at week 0 baseline at week-4 last day of the treatment and at week-12 2 month after the end of treatment. Function and pain were measured in this study where pain-free grip strength was measured with handheld dynamometer to evaluate function and pain was measured by using a visual analogue scale VAS and finally both pain and function were measured by using Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation PRTEE. After therapeutic interventions at week-4 the grip strength was 24.3 kg pain score on VAS was 1 and PRTEE questionnaire score was 8. At week-12 pain score on VAS was 0 PRTEE questionnaire score was 5 and grip strength was 31 kgs. There was a marked increase in grip strength with increment of 20.18 kg from baseline marked reduction in pain score VAS with 8 points and marked reduction in PRTEE questionnaire score with 66 points at 12th week follow-up. Based on this case study it can be concluded that TNT exercises can improve grip strength and result in pain reduction in the patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy with multi model exercise approach.
