ABSTRACT
Background:
Elimination of disease of Polio is the top most priority of the Govt. of Pakistan as well as all the provincial governments. Each year polio eradication efforts are made on regular basis in which various governments, non-government organizations, INGOs, International donors and civil society takes active part. But despite all these enormous efforts still a considerable number of polio affected children emerge throughout the country. The province of Khyber Pakhtunkhawa is especially very vulnerable in this regard due various reasons; the migrants and refusals are the two most common causes. Thus, the people especially the children when get affected by the polio and become paralyzed then they need special and long treatment at home and the at the health facilities. There are various treatment and rehabilitation measures for treatment of polio and use of MPET chart is one of them.
Objectives:
The aim of our study was to use and see the utility of the redesigned Mahboob Power Evaluation and Therapeutic chart in the treatment of polio affected children.
Discussion:
Muscle Power of Polio affected children were assessed and evaluated by Oxford Muscle Testing Chart. The chart as a diagnostic tool gives the strength of muscles for the purpose of surgical interventions or physical regime. But the said chart could not be used successfully as it focused only on the diagnostic component and did not give the Therapeutic Regime. Thus, the need was felt to fill the gap in the Oxford chart and to make it useful in the Therapeutic Regime of polio affected children. Mahboob School of Physiotherapy took an initiative and its Chairman, Dr, Mahboob ur Rahman, redesigned the said chart with the name of MPET chart which also includes the Therapeutic component. The redesigned chart may now be called as Mahboob Power Evaluation and Therapeutic (MPET) chart. It gives Therapeutic plan along with the diagnostic or assessment of the muscle power of the polio affected children. By using this chart by the Therapist, the parents of the children or even the children by themselves can perform the exercise and improve the muscle power. It has been practiced since the last decade and has proved its worth.
Methods:
The study was under taken in a controlled environment in Habib Physiotherapy Complex, Peshawar. Physical Observation method was used for treatment and assessment of results of the Physiotherapy tool. In the treatment muscle assessment was done, reviewed after 4 months. The improvement in Muscle power is noted and new plan given.
Data was collected through recording results from the Muscle chart. The participants were selected random on the basis of as and when came to HPC for treatment. The whole polio affected population of Khyber Pakhtunkhawa was the population of the Study and 30 number of polio affected people was the sample size.
Conclusion:
The MPET Chart is an effective tool in Post Polio Paralysis Management.
