3.1 GAIT Analysis
The gait is defined as forward propulsion of body by lower limbs in a systemic, coordinated semi-rotatory movements of trunk, arm & head.
Gait analysis is the systematic study of human locomotion.
Applications
Identify the source of muscle, nerve or skeletal problems.
Discover the source of a patient’s pain while standing or walking.
Help to diagnose bone deformities or skeletal misalignments.
Assist in discovering muscle or nerve dysfunction.
Check the progression of diseases like arthritis or muscular dystrophy.
3.2 Ultrasound Applications
Interventional pain management
Nerve block
Joint visualization for diagnostic purpose.
Bladder volume assessment.
Venous and arterial Doppler study.
3.3 Pedo Scan
It is a device for the study of pressure fields acting between the plantar surface of the foot and a supporting surface.
Also used for biomechanical analysis of gait and posture.
Application of Pedo Scan
Diabetic neuropathy
Diabetic foot ulceration
Orthotics design
Intra operative biomechanical assessment
Post surgical biomechanical assessment in surgeries of hip, knee, ankle.
To assess progressive changes of foot deformity over time.
3.4 Functional Electrical Stimulation
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation or NMES uses a device that sends electrical impulses to nerves.
Application of an electrical current of sufficient intensity to elicit muscle contraction when applied during a functional activity is referred to as FES.
Indication
Foot drop
Stroke
Traumatic brain injury
Spinal cord injury
Neurogenic bowel
Post reconstructive studies.
3.5 Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a safe & non-invasive tool for the electrical stimulation of neural tissue without pain.
Operates on Faraday’s principle of electromagnetic induction.
Diagnostic & Prognostic Application
TMS provides information about:
Excitability of the motor cortex.
Functional integrity of intracortical neuronal structures.
Conduction along CS, corticonuclear, and callosal fibre.
Function of nerve roots and PNS to the muscles.
3.6 C-Arm
A C-ARM machine is an advanced medical imaging device based on the principle of X-ray technology. It is called C Arm due to its semi circular shape.
Application of C arm systems
Identify joints and medication can be injected perfectly without damaging other structures.
Guide for needle placement/stent for various procedures.
Verifying the placement of all types of implants.
During surgery - Real time view of gall bladder, liver, bones - multiple view of same part available.
Real time motion imaging - urology, Gastro-enterology, cardiology.
3.7 EMG Bio Feedback
Applications in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation:
Stroke Rehabilitation
Balance Rehabilitation
Spinal Cord Injuries
Cerebral Palsy and Traumatic Brain Injuries
Multiple Sclerosis
Dystonias and Dyskinesias
Peripheral Nerve Denervation
Polyneuropathy and Peripheral Neuropathy
Pain Management
3.8 Nerve Conduction Study
NCS are the non-invasive, low risk, cost effective assess Peripheral nervous system.
Applications
Confirm diagnosis.
Localisation of the lesion
Determine the severity of the injury.
Study involved segment of nerve
Study Reconstruction of nerve.
3.9 Virtual Reality (VR)
Virtual reality (VR) rehabilitation tool allows to customize therapy sessions for high-acuity to high-functioning patients.
Using VR is an effective and engaging way to improve upper or lower extremity coordination and balance during physical therapy.
Neurological diagnoses that may benefit from the use of VR:
Parkinson’s disease
Multiple sclerosis
Stroke
Cervical myelopathy
Spinal cord injury
3.10 Uro Dynamics Study
Urodynamics describes a group of physiological tests that are used in clinical practice to investigate abnormalities of lower urinary tract function.
Dynamic study of transport, storage & evacuation of urine.
Indications
Incontinence
Outflow Obstruction
Neurogenic bladder
Voiding dysfunction
3.11 Radio Frequency Ablation
Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation therapy refers to the delivery of high frequency electrical current in the RF range (=500 kHz) to patient tissue via an RF electrode to induce a biological effect, such as the thermal destruction of nerves that carry painful impulses.
Indications
Nociceptive pain
Neuralgic pain
Sympathetically mediated pain
Cancer related pain
Mixed pain syndromes
Neuropathic pain
3.12 Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
A noninvasive method that uses acoustic waves to treat various musculoskeletal conditions.
