Introduction A program called pulmonary rehabilitation teaches you how to cope with chronic lung disease and helps you build stronger breathing muscles. In addition to exercise and education, a team of healthcare professionals may also address breathing retraining, airway clearance, mental health support, and nutrition. People with lung problems can breathe better and lead healthier…
Ataxia-telangiectasia: what is it? Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), also known as Louis-Bar Syndrome, is an uncommon genetic illness that affects the immunological, neurological, and other body systems. When cells in your body’s central nervous system gradually quit functioning, it’s known as a neurodegenerative disease. Ataxia, or difficulty with movement and coordination, is the most prevalent symptom of…
Introduction: The disorder known as autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia type 1 (ARCA1) is characterised by developing mobility issues. Early to mid-adulthood is when the disorder’s signs and symptoms initially manifest. Dysarthria, a speech disability, ataxia, a balance and coordination problem, or both are among the disorder’s early signs. Additionally, they could struggle with movements that…
A Sensory Ataxia: What is it? Sensory Ataxia is a type of ataxia caused by the loss of proprioceptive input—the body’s ability to sense its position in space—due to damage in the sensory pathways, especially the dorsal columns of the spinal cord or peripheral nerves. Whenever a patient obtains a positive Romberg’s sign, it demonstrates…
Breathing Exercises: What Is It? The autonomic nervous system regulates breathing, which is also governed by motivation. Breathing exercises are one kind of exercise that may improve the overall efficiency of the lungs. They may be advantageous for people with normal lungs as well as those with impaired lung function. Stress affects our breathing even…
What is a Pulmonary Function Test? The performance of your lungs is assessed by pulmonary function tests. They control how much air enters and exits your lungs, how much air enters your bloodstream, and how well your lungs function while you exercise. A few days later, you will receive a call from your healthcare practitioner…
Shoulder Dystocia: What is it? When one or both of your baby’s shoulders become trapped inside your pelvis during childbirth, it’s known as shoulder dystocia. The Greek words “dys,” which means difficult, and “tokos,” which means birth, are the roots of dystocia. Shoulder dystocia is a medical emergency. Usually, babies born with this syndrome are…
Posterior Tibial Tendonitis: What is it? Posterior tibial tendonitis is inflammation of the posterior tibial tendon, which supports your foot’s arch and allows it to bend. It’s also known as your posterior tibialis tendon. Tendons are thick, rope-like connective structures that link muscles and bones. The posterior tibial tendon connects one of your lower leg…
Vestibular Rehabilitation: What is it? Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical therapy aimed at reducing dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems caused by inner ear disorders. It involves exercises designed to improve gaze stability, balance, and overall coordination by retraining the brain to adapt to signals from the vestibular system. This therapy is commonly…
Introduction Pulmonary rehabilitation is a structured programme designed for individuals with chronic lung diseases like COPD, asthma, or pulmonary fibrosis. It typically includes exercise training, education on lung health, breathing techniques, and psychological support. The goal is to improve lung function, reduce symptoms like breathlessness, enhance quality of life, and promote self-management. The American Thoracic…
