The Aga Khan Foundation provides a limited number of scholarships each year for postgraduate studies to outstanding students from developing countries who have no other means of financing their studies. Scholarships are awarded on a 50% grant : 50% loan basis through a competitive application process once a year in June or July. The Foundation gives priority to requests for Master's level courses but is also willing to consider applications for PhD programmes, when doctoral degrees are necessary for the career objectives of the student. Requests will also be considered for travel and study awards for PhD students doing their research in Third World countries on topics judged to be of interest to the Aga Khan Development Network. Applications for short-term courses are not considered; neither are applications from students who have already started their course of study.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
<span class="rbi-text" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.2em;">Your hands perform countless small and large tasks each day — from pouring coffee, brushing teeth, and buttoning shirts to raking leaves or kneading bread.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
<span class="rbi-text" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.2em;">But aching hands can transform the simplest task into a painful ordeal. Hands can hurt for a variety of reasons, from the mechanical to the neurological. Arthritis — which affects one in five American adults — and other persistent joint problems are by far the most common cause of hand pain and disability.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
<span class="rbi-text" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.2em;">There are many ways — including medications and surgery — to get hands back to work. One of the most important ways is through therapeutic exercises.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
<span class="rbi-text" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.2em;">Some exercises help increase a joint’s range of motion, while strengthening muscles around the joint. Some commonly recommended hand exercises follow. If you have a serious hand, wrist, or arm injury, consult your doctor before leaping into the routines below. All exercises should be done slowly and deliberately, to avoid pain and injury. If you feel numbness or pain during or after exercising, stop and consult a therapist.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
<span class="rbi-h3" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>Stretching exercises</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
<span class="rbi-text" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.2em;">Stretching helps lengthen muscles and tendons. Some repetitive tasks, such as typing on a computer or gripping gardening tools, can shorten muscles and leave them tight and painful. Do these stretches gently, until you feel the stretch, but without pain. Hold the positions for a count of 15 to 30 seconds to get the most benefit. These exercises are particularly helpful for tendinitis and tight forearm muscles, which are common in people who do a lot of computer work.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0.75em;">
<span class="rbi-text" style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: x-small; line-height: 1.2em;">For each of these exercises, do a set of four repetitions, twice a day. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds and rest for 30 seconds between each repetition.</span></div>

I had been working on recommendation to various policies before(on health council) and recently there is this draft of the - Persons with Disability Policy 2012. As Physiotherapist and other allied health professionals play a major role towards the rehabilitation process. We may look into our own discipline and look if this is something that would provide a better Quality of Life(QOL) of persons with Disability. The new bill also includes various clinical neurological conditions where we have disability. But I am sure that there are much more changes that could be made in this policy. I am working for a new draft where in their is also an equal participation for the persons with disability for health seeking behavior. Any of your comments would be recommendable. Need your own insights and perspective on this issue. Let us not make it just a draft bill, which never turns to reality.</span></span></span><br />

Clinical prediction rules have been used to describe thelikelihood of the presence or absence of a condition, assist in determining patient prognosis, and help the classification of patientsfor treatment. The recent rapid rise in the use of clinical prediction rules raises questions about the conditions under which theymay be used most appropriately. What is the potential role of clinical prediction rules in physiotherapy practice and what are thestrategies by which clinicians can determine their appropriate use for a given clinical setting? Conclusion Clinical predictionrules use quantitative methods to build upon the body of literature and expert opinion and can provide quick and inexpensiveestimates of probability. Clinical prediction rules can be of great value to assist clinical decision making but should not be usedindiscriminately. They are not a replacement for clinical judgment and should complement rather than supplant clinical opinionand intuition. The development of valid clinical prediction rules should be a goal of physiotherapy research. Specific areas in needof attention include deriving and validating clinical prediction rules to screen patients for potentially serious conditions for whichcurrent tests lack adequate diagnostic accuracy or have unacceptable cost and risk, and to assist in classification of patientsfor treatments that are likely to result in substantially different outcomes in heterogeneous groups of patients.

We have been upgraded ourself from a certificate level course to the doctorate in Physiotherapy but still so far we do not have any council.Still there are no vacancies and the salaries are underpaid with so much of dedicated and hard work what every physiotherapist does.<br />No matter what is your qualification in Physiotherapy but government provides the same salary. Just to name a few government colleges of Physiotehrapy that could be counted on fingers? Still some states dont have a Physiotherapy college. Physiotherapy is considered an accessory part of the medical team. Whereas it is an integral part of the medical treatment and the only way towards sucessfull treatment of some condtions. Now, the government needs to open its eye and proper legislative norms needs to me made. We are not the professionals with just a knowledge of some machines but we are far beyond.<br />It is really funny to know that so far WHO the highest health organisation has not been able to define Physiotherapy.<br />In New Zeland-<br /> The practice of physiotherapy in New Zealand uses an evidence based, clinical reasoning process.•<br />New Zealand physiotherapists are primary contact practitioners•<br /> New Zealand physiotherapists are autonomous practitioners.<br />By CSP UK:-<br />A more formal definition of physiotherapy comes from the 2002 CSP Curriculum Framework:<br />It uses physical approaches to promote, maintain and restore physical, psychological and social well-being, taking account of variations in health status.<br />Physiotherapy is science-based, committed to extending, applying, evaluating and reviewing the evidence that underpins and informs its practice and delivery.<br />The exercise of clinical judgement and informed interpretation is at its core."<br />This text on this page was last updated on 3 Jan 2009.<br /><a href="http://www.csp.org.uk/director/public/whatphysiotherapy.cfm">http://www.csp.org.uk/director/public/whatphysiotherapy.cfm</a><br />There is a need for the fellow proffesionals to work together towards a common goal.<div class="blogger-post-footer">"Feel safe in our hands"</div>INDIAN foundation for child health, education, disability rehabilitation and Public Health- research (IFCEDPR)http://www.blogger.com/profile/16654664112405257822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345004499554655818.post-38735536167797022642010-12-18T03:11:00.000-08:002010-12-18T03:37:49.189-08:00Movement the science way<strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Annual National Conference and Workshop Physical Therapy-2011</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#006600;"> All India Institue of Medical Sciences, New Delhi 110029</span></strong><br /><span style="color:#006600;"><strong> </strong>4-10 Feb 2011</span><br /><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><strong><span style="color:#6600cc;"> This conference is going to build the gaps between the practise and research and which enlightens on all fratenity of Physiotherapy and provides updates on the latest trends in Physiotherapy globally.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#6600cc;"> Students Professionals</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#6600cc;">Till 15 Jan 2011 Rs.1800 Rs.2000</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#6600cc;">Till 03 Feb 2011 Rs.2000 Rs.2200</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#6600cc;">Spot Rs.2500 Rs.3000</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#6600cc;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#6600cc;">Paper presentation/Poster presentation and Inovative awards, application deadline- 15 Jan 2011.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#993399;">For more information contact - </span><a href="mailto:ancptaiims2011@gmail.com"><span style="color:#993399;">ancptaiims2011@gmail.com</span></a></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#993399;"></span><a href="mailto:physionalin1@indiatimes.com"><span style="color:#993399;">physionalin1@indiatimes.com</span></a></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#993399;">Call- 9760405114</span></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Feel safe in our hands"</div>INDIAN foundation for child health, education, disability rehabilitation and Public Health- research (IFCEDPR)http://www.blogger.com/profile/16654664112405257822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345004499554655818.post-26317791711872583612010-09-22T07:42:00.001-07:002010-09-22T08:09:58.780-07:00Indian healthcare and the burden of diseases on every Indian citizenIndia has 80% of the healthcare contribution from the private health care and remaining 20 % is contributed by the Ministry of health. There is lack of distribution of resources and manpower. 70 % of the Indian population are still residing in the rural India and theres lack of resources to support them.<br />There are fewer programs to support the preventive health care programs which may lead to huge financial looses to the families. But we lack Preventive community healthcare programs. Rehabilitation programs for the neurological patients, spinal injury pateints , early intervention programs for the children at risk /developemental disabilites are just a few to name on the finger tips. Lots and lots to mention on what we lack and what we can do.<br />But its high time for all of us to realise the importance of our health and how can we manage our health and pockets. I hope our personal urge to be good health and Internet would be a good resource towards this...<br /><br />I hope having good health would be equally avilable to all without barriers...<div class="blogger-post-footer">"Feel safe in our hands"</div>INDIAN foundation for child health, education, disability rehabilitation and Public Health- research (IFCEDPR)http://www.blogger.com/profile/16654664112405257822noreply@blogger.com0
