Nephrotic Syndrome

 Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder that causes your body to pass too much protein in your urine. Nephrotic syndrome is usually caused by damage to the clusters of small blood vessels in your kidneys that filter waste and excess water from your blood.


PHYSIOTHERAPY IMPORTANCE IN NEPHROTIC SYNDROME

The physiotherapist's input in the RR is to design a good comprehensive exercise program. They are held over 6-12 weeks with classes ranging between 1-2 hours, with participants committed to performing exercises at home on at least two other days a week.

The aims are to:

• Improve muscle strength, mobility, and fitness

• Improve the quality of life

• Reduce blood pressure

• Improve blood sugar control

• Improve your heart and lung function

• Control weight and improve self-esteem

• Counteract/reverse the side effects of steroidal treatment, such as muscle wasting, bone thinning, and weight gain after transplant.

The program should have a warm-up and cool down, a strengthening component, a cardiovascular component, and a flexibility section. The therapist also needs to monitor progression and educate clients in monitoring their progress.

Thanks and regards

APPLICATIONS OF LASER THERAPY

Image
  Introduction: Physiotherapy, the practice of restoring movement and function to those affected by injury, illness, or disability, has evolved significantly over the years. One of the most groundbreaking advancements in this field is the integration of laser therapy. Laser therapy, also known as photo biomodulation therapy or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), utilizes light energy to stimulate healing and reduce pain. In this blog, we delve into the principles, applications, and benefits of laser therapy in physiotherapy. Understanding Laser Therapy: Laser therapy involves the use of specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular activity. These wavelengths interact with the body's tissues at a cellular level, triggering various physiological responses. Unlike surgical lasers that cut or burn tissue, therapeutic lasers used in physiotherapy deliver low levels of light that do not generate heat and are non-invasive. Mechanism of Action: At the cellular...

Motor points( Upper Limb)

Image
 Motor point is a small area on a muscle at which the minimal amount of electrical stimulation will cause muscle to contract. How to find motor point To locate your own  motor point  more accurately, you can move the positive electrode slightly (red cable) and watch where the muscle response is the best (strongest twitch of the same intensity). The  motor point  pen is an accessory that is sold separately in order to  find  the  motor point Motor points of upper limb Placement of electrodes is very important  red and black electrode cat is black black is active means pen electrode will be black while red one will be pad electrode. .
