Tailored Physical Therapy in a Case of Tenotomy Post Hip Flexion Deformity With Structural Scoliosis: A Case Report

Retroperitoneal tumours, mainly classified as malignant and benign, have a rare incidence. It includes major parts of the peritoneum, and surgical excision remains the optimal pathway to remove the tumour. As with any surgery, tumour resection comes with its own complications. These complications would manifest differently depending on patient adaptation or compensation for these drawbacks. Physiotherapy and its positive effects as a need after any surgical procedure become a boon when implemented as and when required. The present study describes the case of a 32-year-old woman who has complained of pain in her right hip for one year, along with forward-bending walking and difficulty sitting. The patient had a history of retroperitoneal tumour excision, after which, to compensate for the pain, she started walking by bending forward, which developed into a hip flexion deformity. The patient was managed by tenotomy and was referred to a physiotherapy outpatient (OPD) for further management. Our aim was to improve overall mobility through gait training and prevent relapses of the contracture.

"Mulligan Bent Leg Raise" Technique in Avascular Necrosis

This case report examines the effectiveness of the "Mulligan bent leg raise" (MBLR) method for treating femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN). A professional physiotherapist directed a six-week rehabilitation program for a 37-year-old male patient with AVN that included this innovative physiotherapeutic method. According to radiographic results and standardized evaluations, the patient showed significant improvements in hip range of motion, functional ability, and pain levels. As a viable supplement to conventional rehabilitation techniques, the MBLR method has shown promise in improving joint function and reducing symptoms in individuals with acute compartment syndrome. The present study provides significant contributions to the discipline. It highlights the necessity for more investigation to examine the wider relevance and enduring effectiveness of this methodology in various population affected.

The Impact of Pulmonary Rehabilitation in a Case of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome With Bronchopneumonia: A Case Report

Inhaled bacteria and viruses could cause pneumonia (from the Greek word pneuma, which means "breath"), which is an infection and inflammation of the bronchioles and alveoli in the lower respiratory tract that can be fatal. The condition's typical symptoms include excruciating chest pain and a persistent cough that produces thick mucus. Of patients in emergency medicine units around the world, 10% have acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). A 35-year-old male patient stated having a fever for 12 days, a cough with expectoration for two days, and trouble breathing at rest when he arrived at the medical emergency unit. Following the examination, blood investigation, urine examination, and X-ray were done suggestive of bronchopneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. The patient was assessed using a range of outcome measures on the assessment day, and the same variables were again assessed on the discharge and follow-up days. These outcome measures showed significant reduction in the severity of the cough and dyspnea. Also, the patient had markedly improved cough intensity, dyspnea (Modified Medical Research Council {MMRC}, grade 2), lung capacity, weakness, and quality of life (QoL) because of our well-organized pulmonary rehabilitation. It is safe to assume that a thorough strategy like ours will lead to an improvement in the patient's respiratory health.
