Arun kumar, Bhavika Verma Abstract Introduction Pediatric occupational therapy uses a number of intervention techniques to enhance children’s engagement and participation in. life responsibilities. Marginalization, social isolation, and diminished self-esteem can result from being unable to engage due to a sickness, disabilty, or skill deficit, Children’s responsibilities include gaining self-reliance, learning to work hard, andi taking part in play and other activities. A child's performance in carrying out daily tasks, how their performance is impacted by a handicap, and how their environment supports or hinders their performance are all factors that ‘occupational therapists consider when choosing therapies for children. (lona Novak et al, 2019) Intellectual disability is the most common developmental disability, affecting 0.8% to 3% of the population. Definitions of intellectual disability have three key factors : significantly impaired intellectual abilty, usually on standardized psychoeducational tests, onset before 18 years of age; and impairment of the adaptive abilities necessary for the independent living (Le: communication ADLs, instrumental activities of daly ving (IADLs), work, playfleisure, education and social participation. (Case-Smith et al,, 2013). The diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM — §; American psychiatric association 2013) identifies three domains of adaptive functioning; conceplual, social, and practical. To be diagnosed with ID, individuals must show impairment in at least one domain. Children with mild intellectual disabilties may be able to leam basic ‘computations, but maybe unable to apply concepts appropriately in a problem solving situation (Geime-Smith et al., 2006). A growing body of research has indicated that children with moderate to severe intellectual disabilties can be taught academics as a means to gain information, participate in social settings, increase their orientation and mobility, and make choices. (Browder et al., 2006) When compared to peers without impairments, people with intellectual disabilities build their knowledge sets more slowly, and they struggle to apply knowledge to novel contexts. (Beirne-Smith et al., 2006). Objectives + To identity the children who are intellectual disabled of age group 5-10 years (chronological age) with poor academic skills, using the academic Performance rating scale. ‘= To find out the effect of conventional occupational therapy to improve ‘academic skis in control group. * To find out the effect of computer assisted cognitive training to improve academic skils in experimental group. ‘+ To compare the post test scores between the control group (conventional ‘occupational therapy) and experimental group (computer assisted cognitive t- training).

As such, CP encompasses a heterogeneous group of individuals, varying by functional motor severity, motor type and distribution ‘and co morbidities (vision, hearing, speech, intellectual function, hand function ‘and epilepsy). The direct cause of CP often remains unidentified, but of known ‘vents there are marked difference in the type and timing of neurological lesion Depending location and extent of the neurological lesions .children motor type may be described as spasticity, dyskinesia {athetosis and hypertonic). Ataxia or hypotonic. Cerebral Palsy (CP) refers to the non-progressive neuromotor disorder at cerebral origin (Paul et al., 2013 p 581). The term CP was first described by English physician Wiliam ‘Litle in 1843 (Solomon et al. 2000 p 115). The prevalence of CP worldwide is about 1-5 per 1000 live births, which represents najor reason for motor disorder (Dias et a, 2016).! is mainly characterized by paralysis, spasticity, abnormal postural control, balance issues and atypical motor Betterns that serve ae a barrier to the ongoing motor skill development.

Arunkumar, D. Hudson Taylor Abstract Introduction: Autism is a set of heterogeneous neurodevelopment conditions, ‘characterized by early-onset difficulties in social communication and unusually restricted, repetitive behavior and interests. The worldwide population prevalence is about 1%. Autism affects more male than female individuals, and co-morbidity is common (>70% have concurrent conditions). Individuals with autism have ‘atypical cognitive profiles, such as impaired social cognition and social perception, executive dysfunction, and atypical perceptual and information processing, These profiles are underpinned by atypical neural development at the systems level. Genetics has a key role in the etiology of autism, in conjunction with developmentally early environmental factors. Large-effect is mutations and small-effect common variants contribute to risk (Meng-Chuan Lai et al. Lancet. 2014). Auditory defensiveness is characterzed by an extreme sensitivity to sound. The chil nervous system may interpret sounds as too loud, or the pitch may be intolerable. To deal with the discomfort, the child may act out, try and avoid or minimize the auditory input, hyper-focus on something else, oF escape Objectives: ‘+ Tiselect the children with auditory avoidance behavior among children with ASD with help of short sensory profile.

Udyakumaar Abstract Introduction: Infantile hemiplegia refers to brain damage that ozcurs before or during birth and results in hemiplegia. Juvenile hemiplegia is seen in injured Patients older than 1 year. Hemiplegia is the physical manifestation of damage to 2 cerlain area of the brain thal controls motor activi. Hemiplegia can develop suddenly or develop over days, wooks or months. Some babies who appear Normal as newborns may not develop symptoms: of hemiplegia until voluntary hand use develops (around 4 to 5 months of age). Hemiplegia can also be short- lived of cause mortality and morbidity. Infections remain an important cause of neurodeficiency, atleast in developing counties. Objectives: To find out the effect of conventional occupational therapy to improve dexterity function in control group; To find out the effect of modified ‘constraint induced movement therapy to improve lower extremity function in chiléren with infantile hemiplegia; To compare the effect of conventional ‘occupational. therapy and modified constraint induced movement. therapy between control group and experimental group. Methods: The study design was done using a quasi-experimental design with a ‘convenient sampling technique was used. Totally 30 students were selected and divided into two groups 15 students in the control group (A) and 15 students in the experimental group (B). Tolally 36 sessions were conducted 3 session per ‘week for 45 minutes). The participants were among the age group 6to 10. The ‘sample were selected for the study from Premavasam, Possible rehab centre from mudichur , Kiddos rehab centre from Porur and Shalom therapy centre from id Perungalathur. Total samples 30 subjects were selected under inclusion and exclusion criteria Before intervention, subjects were screened using GMFM Scale ‘and modified Ashworth scale to get the pre-test values than divided equally in 15 samples in control group and 15 samples in experimental group. The experimental group underwent Modified Constraint Induced Movement ‘Therapy The therapy consists totally of 36 sessions, on’a schedule of 3 sessions ‘a woek for 12 weeks. After the sessions the LEFS Scale was again administered to get the post-test values. Results: The resulls showed that the comparison of pre and posttest mean GMFM scores of the experimental group wore highly statistically significant, as compared to the control group because of the effect of modified constraint induced movement therapy to improve lower extremity functions. Since the p value of 0.001 is lesser than 0.05,.The GMFM measure scores of the pre and post test of the control group were significantly lower that was that of the ‘experimental group after the implementation of modified constraint induced ‘movement therapy for children with infantile hemiplegia, Conclusions: The current study concludes that there was a significant improvement in the experimental Issue316724, 9:14PM Effects of Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy to Improve Lower Extremity Functions among Crilren with Infant, Vol. 13 No. 6 (2023) Section Atticles Dear Readers, Researchers, and Subscribers, We would lke to inform you that the only authentic and. officiel website cf the Journal of Chemical Health Risks (CHR) is wwwjchrorg.

DrM. Arun Kumar, Malavika.$ Asfiliation:| Principal, Savestha College of OT, SIMATS [Link] therapist, Savectha college of ‘Occupational therapy, SIMATS INTRODUCTION Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) frequently engage in maladaptive behaviors such as aggression and rituals. These behaviors are often rhythmic and repetitive and can range from mild head rubbing up to severe head banging and can even become life threatening A recent study assessed 7 factors that are influencing selfinjury in a large cohort of children with ASD and found out that atypical sensory processing was the strong predictor of selF injurious behavior. Previous studies assessed 7 factors that may influence self injury in a large cohort of children with ASD: (a) aypical seasory processing; (b) impaired cognitive ability; (c) abnormal functional communication; (d) abnormal social functioning; e) age; (f) the nced for sameness; (g) stuals and ‘compulsions. As self injurious behaviour has 2 sensory processing disorder as one of the underlying causes, providing appropriate sensory diet activites will helps in regulating their sensory needs, The use of sensory techniques for the purpose of decreasing sol-stimulating or sefsinjurious behaviors in people with mental retardation was first explored by Lemke in 1974. Lemke found that systematic application of sensory stimulation was effective in decreasing the self-injurious bebaviors of @ 19-year-old woman diagnosed with ‘mental retardation.

INTRODUCTION Frozen Shoulder Also known as ankylosing spondylitis, frozen shoulder is an insidious painful condition that lasts for more than 3 months. This inflammatory condition, which causes fibrosis of the joint capsule, is accompanied by gradually progressive stiffness and significant limitation of range of motion (usually external rotation). However, patients may develop symptoms suddenly and recovery may be slow. Recovery is satisfaciory in most eases, although it may take up to 2-3 years.
