Effectiveness of Task-specific Training with Trunk Restraint on Lower Extremity Recovery in Stroke Patients
Abstract: Background: Stroke is considered as one of the major causes of impairments in activities of daily living. The majority of patients after stroke demonstrate excessive compensatory trunk deviation movement during activities of daily living. This compensatory trunk movement limits recovery of the lower extremity. Task-specific training is an effective intervention to improve recovery of the upper extremity. However, there was not much evidence about the effectiveness of task-specific training with …

Assessment of Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy Among Art Users in Jimma University Specialized Hospital, Jimma Zone, Oromia Region, South West Ethiopia
Abstract: Background: HIV-associated morbidity and mortality gets substantially reduced with antiretroviral therapy (ART). Antiretroviral treatment efficacy exhibits significant inhibition of viral replication as well as viral load resulting in significant decrease in viral particles to a level where it becomes undetectable in the blood of HIV infected individuals. But, antiretroviral therapy (ART) requires high-level (>95%) adherence and adherence to antiretroviral therapy has been correlated strongly with HIV viral suppression, reduced rates …
