 Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the "Effectiveness of Bobath Approach versus Conventional therapy to improve upper limb and trunk functioning in post-stroke patients." For this randomized controlled study, a total of 36 patients (18 in each group) who suffered from ischemic stroke were recruited from The Body Lab Physiotherapy and Multispeciality Clinic and Vidya Jeewan Physiotherapy Centre, New Delhi between duration December 2023 and April 2024. A simple randomization method was used to assign participants to the Group A - Bobath approach with conventional therapy (n=18) and Group B - Conventional therapy (n=18). Patients in both groups received 20 supervised treatment sessions (5 times per week for four weeks). The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scale and Motor Activity Log Scale were used to assess upper extremity functioning and quality of movement of the affected part at baseline and after 4 weeks. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that while comparing both the groups, significant improvement was seen in all outcome measures. However, Group A showed more significant improvement with a p-value of 0.05 when compared to Group B in improving upper limb and trunk functioning in post-stroke patients. In conclusion, the Bobath approach is more effective in improving upper extremity and trunk functioning when compared to conventional therapy.

 Abstract

The goal of this study is to treat fungal infections, which include eczema, itching, and skin irritations, after producing an oleaginous ointment successfully. Our primary objective is to create an ointment base that is optimally consistent and has favourable antifungal and antibacterial properties in order that promote optimum diffusion. In order to achieve this, we carefully consider a number of characteristics, paying close attention to the systematic produce of the ointment base, which serves as a foundation of future formulation attempts. In order to ensure effectiveness against fungal infections while minimising side effects, we incorporate the active component, ketoconazole, into the base using the fusion method at the lowest possible effective ratio. Additionally, our evaluation goes beyond composition to include a thorough appraisal of the ointments' physical attributes. Spreadability, homogeneity, stability, and pH are examples of such parameters.
