Background: Compliance to long term therapy is the extent to which a person's behavior - taking medication, following a diet or executing lifestyle changes, corresponds with agreed recommendations from a health care provider. Aim: To determine the factors influencing physical therapy treatment compliance and relation of age and gender on compliance. Study Design: Observational study. Methodology: Study conducted for 6 months in public sector hospitals of twin cities of Pakistan. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used. Data was collected by interviewing the patients, using self-structured questionnaire. 141 patients attending physical therapy treatment in outpatient department for more than three days and willing to participate in the study, were included in the study. Patient who visited OPD for first time, pediatric patient and indoor patients were excluded. Data was analyzed by SPSS software, version 25 as qualitative variables were expressed as frequencies and percentages. Results: Most of patient could not adhere to physical therapy because of unavailability of time (60.28%), lengthy follow up (46.10%), boredom with exercise (23.4%), unavailability of respective gender (23.4%), long distance between home and hospital (20.6%), Physical contact with therapist during session (15.6%) and fear of modality (7.8%). Most patients within age group of 29-42 and 43-56 responded that frequent visits to hospital to attend multiple sessions of physical therapy were the reason they left physical therapy sessions and had unavailability of time to attend physical therapy sessions.

INTRODUCTION: Urinary incontinence affects more than 50 million people worldwide, it has a great impact on quality of life by affecting social, domestic, occupational and sex life, regardless of age. Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of physical therapy treatment in women attending the Urogynecology service of Hospital and Maternity Leonor Mendes de Barros. METHOD: We retrospectively assessed 65 records of patients with diagnosis of urinary incontinence treated between November 2005 and November 2006. In order to have their data analyzed, patients were divided into two groups; group MF, which underwent medical treatment and physiotherapy, and group M, which had only medical treatment. In order to compare both groups' quantitative data, the analysis was performed in Statistica® software using Mann Whitney's non-parametric test. The analysis of association between the quantitative variables was performed through the Chi-Square test at 5% (p > 0.05) significance level. RESULTS: We observed that 60.6% of patients who underwent physical therapy treatment and medical treatment had the urinary incontinence symptoms decreased or completely cured, while 80% of women belonging to the medical treatmen only-group underwent surgery. CONCLUSION: Thus, we conclude that physical therapy is essential in treatment protocols of urinary incontinence outpatient clinics and to prevent surgery.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effects of: 1) time between injury and physical therapy treatment and 2) time spent in physical therapy, on concussion symptom resolution. Methods Retrospective data was obtained for 202 patients who sustained a concussion and were referred for physical therapy. Subjects were assigned to groups based on type of injury (sport-related or not), time elapsed between concussion and therapy (0-14 days, 15–30, 31–60, 61–120, 121–365), and months spent in treatment (1 thru 4). Pre- and post- treatment scores were compared for the following measures: Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT), Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS), Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), and Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB) using ANOVAs, with a Bonferroni-corrected p-value of p<.005. Results There was no significant difference in outcomes for athletes vs. non-athletes on SCAT Symptom (p=.74) or Severity Score (p=.18), CISS (p=.52), DHI (p=.05), or mCTSIB (p=.10); in outcomes for time elapsed since injury on SCAT Symptom Score (p=.80), SCAT Symptom Severity Score (p=.97), CISS (p=.61), DHI (p=.65), mCTSIB (p=.13); or in outcomes for months in treatment on SCAT Symptom Score (p=.23), SCAT Symptom Severity Score (p=.04), CISS (p=.41), DHI (p=.37), mCTSIB (p=.50). Conclusion Post-therapeutic improvements were noted for athletes receiving post-concussive physical therapy. Type of injury, time between injury and treatment, and time spent in treatment did not differentiate treatment outcomes for those receiving physical therapy post-concussion.
