    Abstract A global public health emergency, the coronovirus disease-2019 pandemic has impacted every way of life, including neuro-rehabilitation, worldwide. Issues related to increased service demand in primary care, exhausted or insufficient healthcare facilities were significantly high in low and middle-income countries, like Pakistan, with already a struggling health infrastructure. This required major change in health service delivery and impacted rehabilitation care of vulnerable patients with neurological conditions and impairments. For the current review, relevant key words and their combinations were used for literature search, including 'COVID 19', 'SARS-CoV-2', 'Corona Virus', 'rehabilitation', 'physical rehabilitation', 'pandemic', 'NCOC', 'lockdown', 'health services', 'physical therapy', 'disability', 'access', 'tele-rehabilitation', 'research', 'human resource', 'healthcare', etc. The platforms searched were Google search, Google Scholar and PubMed. The idea was to highlight how the pandemic impacted neuro-rehabilitation care in countries like Pakistan throughout the pandemic duration and during the lockdowns.

    Abstract Objectives: To determine the effects of high-intensity multimodal exercise training on bone mineral density and muscle performance in postmenopausal women.
    Methods: The two-armed, parallel, pilot randomised controlled trial was conducted from November 2020 to July 2021 at Riphah Rehabilitation Centre, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, and comprised women aged 45-70 having been in the post-menopause phase for at least 3 years, with body mass index <30, community ambulant and willing to have exercise therapy. The subjects were randomised into two equal groups. The experimental group A received supervised high-intensity resistance, weight-bearing, balance and mobility training twice weekly for 8 months. The control group B received low-to-moderate intensity exercises. Femoral neck and lumbar spine bone mineral density (g/cm2) were taken through a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan. Muscle performance was measured using 1 repetition maximum for leg and trunk extensors, and 30 sec sit to stand test. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.
    Results: Of the 101 women screened, 28(27.7%) were enrolled; 14(50%) in group A having mean age 53.36±6.28 years, and 14(50%) in group B having mean age 51.71±4.82 years (p>0.05). Group A showed significantly more improvement than group B both with respect to lumbar spine bone mineral density and muscle performance (p<0.05).
    Conclusions: Supervised high-intensity multimodal exercise training protocol had a positive effect on lumbar spine bone mineral density and muscle performance in postmenopausal women.

    Abstract Background: Hearing impairment and its consequences in children are often worsened by late identification in Pakistan. Deep-rooted cultural beliefs make some parents reluctant to seek clinical treatment, making adaptable solutions that traverse levels of socio-ecological model necessary.
    Aims: To determine the impact of hearing impairment on children's participation in social activities, and the financial burden on their parents.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study included 377 parents of children with hearing impairment. The sample was recruited from special education schools and hospitals in Islamabad and Lahore, Pakistan, from November 2015 to April 2016. A 15-item structured questionnaire was used for data collection. SPSS version 21 was used for statistical analysis.
    Results: Among children with hearing impairment, 47.5% faced moderate challenges in joining social activities, and 26.0% faced severe challenges. There was a significant positive correlation between the severity of hearing impairment, the person who suspected hearing impairment, age of detection of hearing impairment, and time of referral. Children with hearing impairment caused moderate financial strain on 39.0% of parents and mild strain on 26.8%.
    Conclusion: Hearing impairment can significantly impact children's participation in social activities and cause financial burdens on their parents.

    Abstract Elderly are one of the fastest-growing population globally and require significant healthcare services due to age-related deterioration in physiological systems. Poor postural control due to aging results in impaired balance leading to increase in frequency of falls, poor quality of life, and rise in disability and mortality rates. In Pakistan, due to lack of awareness, and resources, fall prevention and screening programmes for the elderly are lacking. Regular fall risk screening utilizing balance assessment tools, integration of fall prevention programmes and balance rehabilitation approach as part of elderly healthcare services can serve as tools to lower the incidence of falls in the elderly population of Pakistan. Moreover, integration of latest technology as part of balance rehabilitation can also be considered. The review aims to highlight appropriate strategies for fall risk screening and balance rehabilitation in an effort to promote an important healthcare intervention for elderly in Pakistan.

    Abstract Objective: To examine the effects of traditional massage on spasticity of children with cerebral palsy.
    Methods: The randomised control trial was conducted at the National Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, Islamabad, Pakistan, from September 2016 to August 2018, and comprised children with spastic cerebral palsy aged 2-10 years who were randomly allocated to control and intervention groups. Both the groups received routine physical therapy once daily, five times a week for three months. The intervention group additionally received traditional massage. Spasticity was evaluated using the Modified Ashworth Scale at baseline, and after 6th and 12th weeks of intervention. Data analysed using SPSS 20..
    Results: Of the 86 subjects enrolled, 75(87.2%) completed the study; 37(49.3%) in the control group with a mean age of 6.81±2.31 years, and 38(50.6%) in the intervention group with a mean age of 7.05±2.47 years. There were 25(68%) boys among the controls and 22(58%) in the intervention group. There was no statistically significant difference in baseline scores between the groups (p>0.05). At 6th week, reduction in scores was statistically significant in the right upper limb (p<0.05), and in the right lower limb (p<0.05) after the 12th week.
    Conclusions: Traditional massage was found to have significant effect on the right side compared to the routine physical therapy for reduction of spasticity in children with cerebral palsy.

    Abstract Objective: To find out inter-professional collaboration among speech-language pathologists and nurses in acute care in Pakistan.
    Methods: This was a cross sectional study which was conducted in all government and private hospitals of Islamabad and Rawalpindi having facility of ICUs after taking consent from authorities. The duration of study was six months from October 2018 to February 2019. A total number of 350 participants (200 nurses, 150 speech language pathologists) working in ICU of different private and government hospitals of Pakistan were included in the study. Standardized questionnaire of ": assessment of inter-professioal collaboration scale": (AITCS) was circulated to nurses and speech language pathologists (SLPS) working in ICU with its subscale's partnership, coordination, cooperation and shared decision making on a 5-point likert scale. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 21.Measure of mean was obtained by independent sample t-test. P- Value less than 0.05 was considered as significant.
    Results: Statistical analysis showed measures of mean differences obtained by t-test revealed significant differences at p<0.001 level between partnership scores of SLPS and nurses. This reveals good partnership between two disciplines. Measures of mean differences obtained by t-test revealed significant differences at p<0.001 level between partnership scores of SLPS and nurses. Both do not value each other in cooperation. Measures of mean differences obtained by t-test showed significant differences at p<0.001 level amongst coordination scores of SLPS and nurses. Both have good coordination. Measures of mean differences obtained by t-test revealed significant differences at p<0.001 level amongst shared decision-making scores of SLPS and nurses. Both are involved in shared decision making.
    Conclusion: Results show significant difference in partnership, coordination, and shared decision making. There is no significant difference in cooperation.
