نارسائی
ایک مدت گزر گئی
گھر والوں سے کوئی فرمائش نہیں کی
ایک عرصے سے آئینہ نہیں دیکھا
دیکھوں بھی کیا ؟
خود کا چہرہ تو یاد نہیں
مجھ پر کونسا رنگ اچھا لگتا ہے؟
معلوم نہیں
میں بال بنائوں تو کیسا لگتا ہوں؟
میں مسکرائوں تو کیسا لگتا ہوں ؟
میرا آئینہ بھی میرے اندر کی طرح لکیروں سے اٹا ہوا ہے
Background of the Study: To compare the effects of relaxing music therapy with task-oriented training of lower limbs on the balance and functional status in patients with chronic stroke.
Methodology: This randomized clinical trial was conducted in three outpatient physiotherapy clinics in Lahore, Pakistan. A sample of 76 participants with chronic stroke, aged 40-60 years, and on assistance walking, were recruited through a purposive sampling technique. Individuals who had physical impairments and visual or hearing deficits were not included in the study. Group A received task-oriented training with routine physical therapy while Group B received Music therapy additionally. Three sessions on alternate days per week for eight weeks were given. Balance and functional independence were the outcome variables measured using the Berg Balance Scale and Functional Independence Measure respectively. Mann-Whitney U test and Friedman ANOVA were applied for between-group and within-group differences respectively. P-value was significant at ≤0.05.
Results: The mean age of participants was 54.05 ± 3.64 years, the majority i.e., 55 (72.4%) were male, 46 (60.5%) had ischemic stroke and 53 (69.7%) were presented with left-sided weakness. A statistically significant difference was observed among both groups in balance (p =.000) and functional independence (p=0.000). The within-group difference was also significant for balance (p=0.000) and functional independence (p=0.000).
Conclusion: The integration of relaxing music therapy, task-oriented training, and routine physiotherapy is effective in improving balance and functional independence in chronic stroke patients.
The study investigates the relationship among perceived failure of the performance appraisal purposefulness, the injustice perceptions, in-role performance and retaliation in Public sector of Pakistan. The overall injustice perception serves as mediator among the performance appraisal purposefulness failure and in-role performance and retaliation. Whereas the study perceived organizational support tests as moderator between performance appraisal purposefulness failure and Overall injustice perception. The study gathered data using a self-administered questionnaire from 400 civil servants across 12 occupational groups appointed in major cities of Pakistan, from which 380 responses seems to be valid with a 95% response rate. The study uses a time-lag design to collect data at two different times (time 1 and time 2). The responses on in-role performance and retaliation was reported by peers. Amos 20 and Process 3.0 were used for data analysis. The results confirm a positive relationship between performance appraisal purposefulness failure with retaliation but for in-role performance, a negative relationship was not found. However overall injustice perception found to be positively related with in-role performance and retaliation level. The results also show that overall injustice perception partially mediates the relationship between the failure of performance appraisal purposefulness and the in-role performance, but no mediation was found among retaliation. The study also confirms the moderation of Perceived organizational support. The research results have practical and practical significance for civil servants and public organizations in the new geographical environment. This study is a rare attempt to test all aspects of performance appraisal purposefulness failure and overall injustice perception on the in-performance and retaliation.
