Breathing exercises and pranayamas to decrease perceived exertion during breathing holding while locked-down due to COVID-19 online randomized study DOI: 10.1016/j.ctcp.2020.101248  Effect of Surged Faradic Current and Myofascial Release on Lower Limb Spasticity in Spastic Cerebral Palsy: A Review DOI: https://doi.org/10.1089/ict.2023.29085.dch

Overall research summary

Both articles indicate that surged faradic current and myofascial release may help reduce lower limb spasticity in spastic cerebral palsy. The review highlights their potential neurophysiological and mechanical benefits but notes limited high-quality evidence, while the case study demonstrates improvements in spasticity, muscle strength, and gross motor function when these techniques are combined with conventional physiotherapy.

"Research Paper titled ""Effects of physical demands on neck and shoulder during clinical posting in physiotherapy students"" published in International Journal of Scientific Development and Research Abstract of ""Association of physical demands with neck and shoulder pain during clinical postings in physiotherapy students"" presented and published in Amity UG Research Conclave 2024"

Overall research summary

Dr. Rhishabh’s research focuses on work-related musculoskeletal challenges in physiotherapy students with particular emphasis on the physical demands encountered during clinical postings. His studies examine the role of sustained postures, repetitive manual techniques, and occupational workload in the development of neck and shoulder pain. Through observational and analytical research, he aims to identify early risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders and promote evidence-based preventive and ergonomic strategies. His broader research interests include clinical physiotherapy, injury prevention, occupational health, and optimization of physical performance, contributing to improved practitioner well-being and quality patient care outcomes.

Published Case Report in International Conference titled as Case Report: Effect of Physiotherapy and Asana on Scoliosis

Overall research summary

The case report evaluated the effect of an integrated physiotherapy and yogic asana intervention in the management of scoliosis, focusing on postural correction, spinal strengthening, flexibility, and neuromuscular control. The intervention resulted in reduced pain, improved postural alignment, and enhanced spinal mobility and functional ability. Yogic asanas complemented conventional physiotherapy by improving muscular balance and body awareness. The findings suggest that an integrative physiotherapy–yoga approach may be beneficial in the conservative management of scoliosis.
