The integrated control of hand and eye movements, as well as the processing of visual information to support attainment and acquisition and the use of hand proprioception to guide the eyes, are known as hand-eye coordination. Thus, this study aims to determine the reliability of the tests, so the research was conducted thrice with an interval of 6-7 days (test-retest). 28 Young Adults (18- 35 years of age) have participated in the study. The analysis includes finger-pointing tasks performed only with the use of Hand-eye coordination software prepared by the Software engineer.In this Software, Visual targets in the form of a ball then appeared on the screen on the left, on the right, or in the center in random order., and participants were asked to point an index finger of the leading hand as rapidly and precisely as possible at all targets on the screen. After touching the target (indicated by its disappearance), the participant immediately placed his/her hand back in the designated starting position (touchpad).Each participant was required to repeat this finger-pointing task. The accuracy value after 1 minute was recorded and the average accuracy value was calculated and used in the analysis A smaller value indicates greater touch accuracy. In addition, the average reaction time (in milliseconds) was also measured. Based on the data analysis, the reliability score is 0.806 (Cronbach’s Alpha), which indicates a high level of internal Consistency.","PeriodicalId":516273,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Physiotherapy &amp; Occupational Therapy - An International Journal","volume":"7 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141019355","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 Structured Cardio-Respiratory Fitness Protocol on Physical Function and Performance in Geriatric Patients: A Quasi Experimental Study","authors":"M.Premkumar, S. Kavitha, Aishwarya Nitin Sonwane, Thrishala Noronha","doi":"10.37506/fhh9zq80","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37506/fhh9zq80","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Exercise interventions have emerged as a promising avenue for mitigating age-related declines, particularly in the context of physiological changes such as sarcopenia and muscle strength loss. A recent study utilizing the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) framework underscored declines in physical functioning among older adults. Geriatric individuals commonly undergo cardio-respiratory changes and experience a decrease in physical fitness. This study seeks to compare the effects of a structured cardio-respiratory fitness protocol with a conventional exercise program on physical function and performance in geriatric patients, with a specific focus on the impact of cardio-respiratory fitness on overall physical function. \u0000Methods: Employing a quasi-experimental pre-test post-test design spanning six months, two groups of participants aged 50 to 70, encompassing both genders and with a BMI between 20 and 30, was included. The experimental group adhered to the structured cardio-respiratory fitness protocol, while the control group received conventional physiotherapy. Measured parameters included heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), and Borg scale ratings. Pre and post-treatment data underwent statistical analysis. \u0000Results: Both groups demonstrated improvements in HR, RR, PEFR, and Borg scale ratings post-intervention. Notably, the experimental group exhibited significantly greater improvements in these parameters compared to the control group (p < 0.05). \u0000Conclusion: The structured cardio-respiratory fitness protocol yielded a significant enhancement in physical function and performance among geriatric patients. Recommendations for future research involve incorporating larger sample sizes, extended intervention durations, and personalized approaches to maximize effectiveness. This study contributes valuable insights into the potential benefits of structured cardio-respiratory fitness interventions for augmenting geriatric physical function and overall quality of life.","PeriodicalId":516273,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Physiotherapy &amp; Occupational Therapy - An International Journal","volume":"22 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141022560","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}

Dysfunction of active and passive support system can lead to a reduction of navicular height, leading to excessive pronation of the foot known as pes planus. Pes planus is caused by injury, prolonged stress on the foot, obesity, and faulty biomechanics which will result in posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, collapse of the foot archand flat foot.The patients with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and pesplanus have reduced dorsiflexion and increased eversion.So, the aim was to study the effects of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and foot strengthening exercise on navicular height and ankle range of motion in college students with flexible flat feet. \u0000Method: Total 40 students were recruited for the study as per selection criteria and were divided into two groups (20 in each group). Group A was treated with Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization(IASTM)and group B was treated with Foot Strengthening Exercise for five days a week for 4 weeks. Inter-group analysis by Mann Whitney U-test showed statistically significant improvement in navicular height and ankle range of motion (P value ≤ 0.001). \u0000Conclusion: This study showed statistically significant improvement in navicular height and ankle ROM with the use of IASTM and foot strengthening exercise. However, IASTM was found to be more effective in improving ankle ROM and foot strengthening exercise was found to be more effective inincreasingnavicular height.","PeriodicalId":516273,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Physiotherapy &amp; Occupational Therapy - An International Journal","volume":"52 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141019117","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}
