The study aim was to examine the effect of physiotherapy exercises on correcting the remaining ocular deviation after strabismus surgery. Methods. A randomized interventional clinical trial was performed in the Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, among 40 patients with ocular deviation after strabismus surgery. The participants were randomly divided into an experimental group ( n = 20) and a control group ( n = 20). All subjects received usual medical care, while the experimental group performed different types of physiotherapy exercises for 2 sessions a week for 12 weeks. The near and far angles of ocular deviation were measured before and after the 12 weeks of treatment. Results. A significant improvement was observed in the experimental group compared with the control group after 12 weeks of training. There was a reduction in the near angle (19.85 ± 4.09 to 15.4 ± 3.87; 22.41%) and far angle (19.65 ± 4.78 to 16.75 ± 3.9; 14.75%) in the experimental group, with no significant change of the near angle (20.5 ± 3.64 to 20.75 ± 3.19; 1.21%) or far angle (19.7 ± 2.97 to 19.95 ± 3.41; 1.26%) in the control group. Conclusions. The application of different types of physiotherapy exercises can reduce ocular deviation, restore binocular func- tion, and improve the cosmetic appearance in patients with remaining ocular deviation after strabismus surgery. study to evaluate the role of orthoptic treatment in the management of intermittent exotropia. They applied prism exercises and pencil push-ups with the therapist, as well as home exercises involving pencil push-ups with covering of the healthy eye. The result was successful in more than 88% of patients. our research supports this study in using pencil push-up exercises and eye occlusion for strabismus reha-bilitation.There is no study showing the effect of PNF exercise or balance board exercise on ocular muscles or strabismus before or after surgery. our study focused on physiotherapy exercises orthoptic","PeriodicalId":37315,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Quarterly","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70515222","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}

Pressure pain threshold has been quantified by using a gold standard algometer in patients with bruxism. How-ever, the expense associated with quantifying pressure pain threshold to detect trigger points with a gold standard algometer precludes its use in the clinic. This study aimed to measure the reliability and validity of the more accessible Egyptian algometer for pressure pain threshold evaluation in patients with bruxism. Methods. A descriptive repeated-measures study was performed among 100 participants with bruxism. Pressure pain threshold values were collected from the left temporalis, right temporalis, left masseter, and right masseter muscles with the participants sitting. Pressure pain thresholds were assessed over 2 sessions separated by a 1-week interval. Results. intraclass correlation coefficient (iCC) determined the intra-rater reliability and Pearson correlation analysis deter- mined the validity of the Egyptian algometer. iCC equalled 0.878, 0.785, 0.896, and 0.903 for the right masseter, left masseter, right temporalis, and left temporalis muscles, respectively. The standard error of measurement ranged from 0.24 to 0.5, the minimal detectable difference ranged from 0.66 to 1.41, iCC ranged from 0.785 to 0.903. Pearson correlation values were 0.673, 0.670, 0.408, and 0.705 for the right masseter, left masseter, right temporalis, and left temporalis muscles, respectively. Conclusions. High iCCs indicated a strong agreement between the measurement systems, suggesting that the Egyptian algometer is a reliable and valid device for quantification of pressure pain threshold in patients with","PeriodicalId":37315,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Quarterly","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70515523","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}

Hand spasticity after stroke is a serious issue and may lead to hygiene problems, range of motion limitations, or contractures. Hand splints are often used to reduce spasticity and prevent movement limitations; however, there is little research available on the efficacy of splints in spasticity. The study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a reflex inhibitory splint (RiS) for upper extremity spasticity in stroke patients by using clinical and electrophysiological studies. Methods. Stroke patients with elbow and hand spasticity were allocated into 2 groups. The splint group ( n = 16) wore RiS. The control group ( n = 13) did not wear any upper extremity splint. Both groups received the same rehabilitation program during this period. They were evaluated for motion in the upper extremity with the Brunnstrom scale and Fugl-Meyer upper extremity scale. Electrophysiological measurements showing motor neuron excitability such as the ratio between the maximum amplitude of H-reflex and the maximum amplitude of M-response (H max /M max ratio), H-reflex latency, and F-wave persistence and latency were also studied. All clinical and electrophysiological measurements were performed in both groups on days 0 and 15. Results. At the end of the treatment, elbow and finger flexion tonus decreased and active wrist extension angle increased in the splint treatment group compared with both baseline and the control group. Compared with the pre-treatment status, a correlation was detected between the H max /M max ratio and the wrist flexion tonus in the splint group. Conclusions. RiS may be useful for the management of post-stroke upper-limb spasticity.","PeriodicalId":37315,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Quarterly","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70519888","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}
