Authors: Rani Jyoti , Jagga Vinay 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

Background:
The concept of learning styles pertains to the different ways in which individuals organize and interpret information. Numerous factors influence an individual’s learning style.

Objective:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the most popular learning styles of male and female physiotherapy students.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 181 participants were selected via a stratified random sampling method based on specific inclusion criteria. Of these, 71 were male and 110 were females. The VARK learning style questionnaire was employed to assess their learning styles, and the data were analyzed using statistical variables such as mean and percentage.

Results:
The results indicated that 91.5% of male participants preferred bimodal learning styles, with the most popular learning style among them being kinesthetic, chosen by 53.8%. Among female participants, 83.6% preferred unimodal learning styles, while 7.27% preferred bimodal learning styles. Their most favored learning style was also kinesthetic, chosen by 61.38% of female participants.

Conclusion:
The study identified that both male and female physiotherapy students mostly preferred the kinesthetic learning styles, thereby indicating a similarity in learning styles between them. These findings could be useful for educators in the field of physiotherapy by helping them design learning materials that cater to the most popular learning styles of their students.

Published: October 2024

Abstract

Background:
Distal radius fractures are one of the most common injuries, representing one-sixth of all fractures seen and treated in the emergency department. Distal radial fractures with extensive comminution involving the metaphyseal–diaphyseal junction present a major treatment dilemma, especially when it has an intra-articular involvement. This study evaluates the surgical and functional outcomes of intra-articular comminuted fracture of distal end radius treated with dorsal distraction plating.

Materials and Methods:
A prospective randomized controlled observational study was done with a sample size of 50 patients over a period of 3 years, each of whom was diagnosed to have an intra-articular fracture of distal end radius (AO classification type C). All patients were treated by distraction plating (radio-metacarpal). Minimum follow-up after treatment of upto 6 months was ensured, and a final assessment of the functional outcome was then decided.

Results:
The study showed that average union time was 8.65 ± 0.93 weeks, and average implant removal was done at 8.75 ± 0.85 weeks. All patients achieved full ROM at the wrist, maintaining articular congruity post-implant removal. In our study, we found two (6.67%) patients with superficial infections and two (6.67%) patients with complex regional pain syndrome. No patients were reported with the tendon (extensor pollicis longus) irritation, neuropraxia, stiffness of the wrist and inter-phalangeal joints, nonunion/malunion, or implant failure.

Conclusion:
The final results were evaluated and compared after making observations for age, sex, mode of trauma, dominancy of the affected hand, time interval between injury and admission, duration of hospital stay, duration of surgery, time to fracture union, and complications. The final outcome was measured by DASH SCORE. All patients had excellent or good results treated with distraction plating; six (20.00%) patients out of 30 studies were found to have excellent results, whereas the remaining 24 (80.00%) patients had good results.

Authors: Roy Barnana , Thomas Annie 
Published: October 2024

Abstract:
Conventionally, the focus on vestibular information has centered on basic functions such as adjusting eye movements, controlling posture, and gaze stabilization. However, there has been a noteworthy transformation in recent years as researchers seek to unravel the mysterious relationship between the vestibular system and spatial cognition. This narrative review endeavors, to provide a thorough analysis of current perspectives by delving into a vast body of research in this domain. The principal aim is to critically assess existing studies, offering nuanced insights into the complex interplay between the vestibular system and spatial abilities. For this the electronic database such as PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Google Scholar was searched for available literature from 2014 onward based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. After reviewing the literature by different authors, a brief review was conceptualized from the same. This article thoroughly explores brain regions related to vestibular function and their connections to spatial orientation and clinical implications. It identifies research gaps and proposes future avenues to deepen our understanding of the vestibular system’s role in spatial cognition, aiming for a holistic perspective. The intricate link between the vestibular system and spatial memory processing is a significant area in neuroscience, with vestibular exercises holding potential for personalized interventions, emphasizing the need to address research gaps for optimal cognitive well-being.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:
Academic performance is defined as the extent to which student accomplishes their educational goals as a result of exposure to learning. Identifying the facilitators and barriers influencing the performance of physiotherapy (PT) students will help in enhancing the learning experience of the learners.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A convenient sample of 1118 under-graduate PT students were recruited from PT colleges of a state health-science university. A semi-structured questionnaire consisting of four domains, namely institution, faculty, family/environment, and personal factors was developed after a thorough literature search and focused group discussion. The final validated questionnaire was administered to the participants. Descriptive statistics were summarized as frequencies and percentages.

RESULTS:
Out of 1800 students approached, 1118 participated in the study showing a response rate of 62.11%. The mean age of the participants was 20.87 ± 1.35 years. 83.81% (n = 937) participants were females and 16.19% (n = 181) were males. The most commonly reported facilitators were provision of study leaves for examinations (n = 1101, 98.48%), self-determination to become a skilled practitioner (n = 1100, 98.39%), good clinical exposure (n = 1098, 98.21%), availability of experienced faculty members (n = 1095, 97.94%), and positive atmosphere at home (n = 1089, 97.41%). Whereas personal/family health problems (n = 987, 88.28%), peer pressure (n = 944, 84.44%), exam-related anxiety (n = 891, 79.70%), and social commitments in family (n = 881, 78.80%) were the commonly reported barriers of academic performance.

CONCLUSION:
Our research concludes that PT students’ perceptions of their academic performance are multifaceted and influenced by both personal and environmental factors inclusive of support from academic institution and their family.
Physiotherapy in the digital age: A narrative review of the paradigm shift driven by the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning

Published: October 2024

Abstract:
A variety of physical impairments and functional restrictions are assessed and treated in the practice of physiotherapy. Subjective measures, rater variability, and restricted access to high-quality care are some of the unavoidable problems that contemporary physical therapy practice approaches must overcome. In light of these challenges, cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are demonstrating remarkable efficacy in tackling these issues head-on. The focus of this review is to explore how the integration of AI and ML might change physical therapy practice and education in the age of digital communication. It delves into the challenges accompanying this integration and considers future prospects in this domain. A literature search was conducted using data base PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus with keywords such as ‘physiotherapy’, ‘artificial intelligence’, and ‘machine learning’, limited to English articles from 2014 to 2024. Results were imported into reference management software, duplicates removed, and relevant articles were screened and assessed for inclusion, with reasons for exclusion documented. Emerging technologies like AI and ML use algorithms to examine patient data and make automatic decisions, enhancing areas such as virtual reality therapy (VR), tele-rehabilitation, clinical decision support, individualized rehabilitation and physical function evaluation. These advance technologies optimize physical therapy and improve outcomes, but further research is needed to address obstacles like bias and data privacy to ensure responsible implementation. AI and ML can revolutionize physical therapy by improving therapy precision, patient monitoring, optimization and individualized therapy plan. However, it’s crucial for physiotherapists to balance technological advancements with compassionate, patient-centred approach.

Abstract

Introduction:
One in three Singaporeans is at risk of developing DM (DM) in their lifetime. The majority of those with DM experience other comorbidities that often affect the course of their DM. This study explored: (a) the prevalence of DM-related complications, (b) their sociodemographic correlates, and (c) their association with health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

Methods:
Participants with DM (n = 387) were recruited from a population-based survey. Type 2 DM was self-reported as diagnosed by a doctor. The DM-related complications and comorbidities were assessed using the DM knowledge questionnaire and chronic conditions checklist. Short-Form health survey was used to examined HRQOL. Multiple logistic regressions were performed to examine the association between DM-related complications and sociodemographic factors and body mass index. Multiple linear regressions examined the association of complications with HRQOL.

Results:
Approximately 31.6% of the participants had DM-related complications. The top three complications were nephropathy (54.4%), neuropathy (42.2%) and retinopathy (40.8%). Younger participants (aged 18–49 years) and those with higher education were less likely to develop DM-related complications. Physical HRQOL was adversely affected in participants with any chronic condition, DM for 4–9 years, DM-related neuropathy, lower leg/foot ulcers and gangrene. Mental HRQOL was adversely affected by gangrene. Younger participants had better physical HRQOL.

Conclusion:
Physical HRQOL is adversely affected when individuals develop DM-related complications. Understanding the sociodemographic corelates of DM-related complications could aid clinicians in identifying and assisting at-risk populations to prevent adverse outcomes. Educating individuals on the risk of developing DM-related complications could encourage better DM management.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a challenging chronic inflammatory condition affecting the urinary bladder, with limited treatment options. This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy of repeated intravesical platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for promoting urothelial regeneration and reducing inflammation in patients with IC/BPS and investigate its correlation with subjective and objective treatment-related outcomes.

Materials and Methods:
Four monthly intravesical PRP injections were given to 98 patients with non-Hunner-type IC/BPS. Treatment outcomes were assessed using a global response assessment (GRA) score 3 months posttreatment. In addition, clinical symptom scores, pain severity, voiding diary data, uroflowmetry parameters, and GRA scores were compared before and after treatment and between different treatment outcome groups (satisfactory: GRA≥2 unsatisfactory: GRA<2). Baseline urine biomarkers were analyzed to identify potential treatment outcome predictors.

Results:
After four PRP injections, 54 (55.1%) patients reported satisfactory outcomes. Lower urinary tract symptoms, bladder pain, urinary frequency, anxiety, and flow rate significantly improved from baseline (P < 0.05) in all patients, regardless of the treatment outcome. All patients experienced improved treatment outcomes and increased maximum bladder capacity with successive PRP treatments, and no major complications were reported. Urine biomarkers indicated elevated inflammation and oxidative stress biomarkers in patients with IC/BPS compared to controls.

Conclusion:
Repeated PRP injections are safe and effective for reducing symptoms and bladder pain and improving bladder capacity in a majority of IC/BPS patients, with better outcomes observed in patients with a mild form of bladder inflammation. These results support PRP as a promising novel bladder therapy for IC/BPS.
Does tilt-retrograde intrarenal surgery enhance stone clearance and offer better surgical ergonomics in patients with renal calculi? A prospective randomized control study
Authors: Ramachandran Arvind , Meyyappan Vivek , Sekar Hariharasudhan , Thiruvengadam Gayathri , Krishnamoorthy Sriram 
Published: October 2024

Introduction:
Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is the standard treatment for renal calculi. Direct visualization and fragmentation are its major advantages. The variable stone clearance rates and the ergonomic challenges faced by urologists are a few limitations. Table tilt enhances stone clearance and improves surgical ergonomics by facilitating better access to stones and reducing procedural strain.

Subjects and Methods:
In this prospective study, patients with intrarenal calculi were randomized into standard lithotomy RIRS (S-RIRS) and table-tilted RIRS (T-RIRS) groups. Specified table tilts were suggested for each of the stone locations. The outcomes with regard to stone clearance, operative and lasing time, and ergonomics were studied.

Results:
About 100 patients were studied, with 50 in each group. The overall operating time and lasing time in the T-RIRS group were less than that in the S-RIRS group (P < 0.001). The complication rates were the same in both groups. Most surgeons felt that the surgical ergonomics was better in the T-RIRS group (P < 0.001). When stone-free status was analyzed, seven patients in the S-RIRS group and one in the T-RIRS group had residual stones. The mean Borg category-ratio 10 (CR-10) scores in the S-RIRS and T-RIRS groups were 4.18 and 2.20, respectively (P < 0.001).

Conclusions:
This is the first study to document the distinct advantages of T-RIRS and its benefits on surgical ergonomics. T-RIRS resulted in significantly shorter operative and lasing times, particularly for stones in lower calyces. Surgical ergonomics, assessed by the Borg CR-10 scale, were significantly better in the T-RIRS group. T-RIRS should become a standard of care for patients undergoing RIRS.

In the last decade, E-commerce has developed into the world's biggest stage for shopping. It has allowed people around the world to directly communicate without any barriers to purchasing the products as per requirements. Internet technologies have reshaped E-commerce since product reviews have become a vital part of online shopping due to their rapid growth. But with widespread usage, it has also brought forth an influx in rates of fake reviews. Fake reviews, which are frequently used to influence public perception, are now a widespread occurrence due to the open nature of E-commerce. Using different learning techniques, many methods and techniques are implemented to spot false reviews and fake behavior. This research aims to use a recurrent neural network (RNN) to combine content and data to identify false product reviews. The proposed approach, which is related to spam indicators, makes use of both product reviews and reviewers' behavioral characteristics. The fine-grained burst pattern analysis is used to conduct a more thorough investigation of produced testimonials during "suspicious" periods in the proposed approach. Additionally, a customer's previous review data are utilized to determine their overall "authorship" reputation, which serves as a barometer for the authenticity of most recent reviews. For the proposed theory, we examined the real-world Amazon review dataset and produced more accurate findings than previous methodologies. In addition to this, our proposed deep learning-based model performance has been validated utilizing the benchmark Yelp Open dataset and IMDB dataset.

Abstract : Dance is a form of regional culture that contains many cultural values ​​that are strong in social, cultural, philosophical and spiritual values. The cultural values ​​of each dance movement are able to describe the identity of a region. Students' personalities in character building through dance have the aim of being a form of existence in learning traditional dance at school in forming a learning process that is fun, creative, communicative and aesthetic (Ayu Retnoningsih, 2017). However, over time, traditional dance has faded with western culture, so the existence of character strengthening has had a decreasing impact. The development of the times coupled with technological developments seems to be eroding various local wisdom values, especially for the younger generation and children (Umi Mahmudah1 et al., n.d.). Therefore, the author wants to provide efforts to prevent the erosion of traditional culture and western culture by preserving dance movements and instilling character from elementary school age, especially at SDN 22 Ampenan. This research uses descriptive qualitative analysis. The research results were obtained through observation, interviews and documentation. With this dance training, it is hoped that it can preserve culture and also foster students' character of cooperation, tolerance, discipline, national spirit, love of the country, and responsibility.
