Abstract: Background: Walking speed (WS) is a valid, reliable, sensitive measure appropriate for assessing and monitoring functional status and overall health in a wide range of populations. These capabilities have led to its designation as the "6th vital sign". By synthesizing the available evidence on WS, article provides clinicians with a reference tool regarding this robust measure. The 10m walk test is the most feasible, short duration,and easiest test to be administered. Short-term test-retest reliability of the 10-meter fast walk test was evaluated in 31 ambulatory children with cerebral palsy and demonstrated good to excellent reliability of ICC 0.81 (95% confidence......

Abstract: Background & Objective: Diastasis of rectus abdominis is a conventional term used to define the split between the two-rectus abdominis muscle.It has an important function in abdominal wall support, maintenance of posture, trunk stability, respiration & trunk flexion, rotation and side bending. Any pathology in this muscle may lead to lower back pain, poor posture, shallow breathing, weakness of pelvic floor and core muscles, difficulty in heavy weight lifting & uterine prolapse. Literature suggests that, Careful re-education of abdominal musculature by exercises is helpful to restore and improve strength & function of linea-alba. Thus, the study aimed to determine the effect of a structured abdominal exercise programmed on diastasis of rectus abdominis muscle in postpartum women.......

Abstract: Osteoarthritis is a most common reason of joint disability over 45 years of age. It is the main cause of dysfunction in most countries around the world. Depending on functional activity limitations, an effective comprehensive rehabilitation program can be planned for the management of OA knee. Therefore, this study was conducted to know functional activity limitations in an Indian lifestyle. This cross- sectional study included 499 individuals who met inclusion criteria. It was conducted for 4 months in outpatient department of tertiary care hospital. The level of difficulty in sixteen chosen activities suitable mainly for Indian lifestyle was assessed. Analysis of data showed that.....
