Abstract: Background of the study: The vestibular system is both a sensory system and a motor system. As a sensory system, the vestibular system provides the central nervous system (CNS) with information about the position and motion of the head and the direction of gravity. The CNS uses this information, together with information from other sensory systems. The otolith organs can signal tilts with respect to gravity and slow, drifting movements, but only when these movements are linear, rather than rotational. Objective of the study: The study aimed at investigating the correlation between dizziness and balance in the BPPV subjects by using outcome measure Dizziness Handicap Inventory and Berg Balance Scale Methodology: Total 56 subjects were enrolled Age group is 18-65, Both Males and Females. Able to experiencing symptoms for longer period of 3 months, Able to transfer from sitting to standing and move independently. Able to tolerate the exercise ,and we carried out to descriptive analytical ,co relational study .From this study we have taken the data of the subjects who have treated for 9 weeks by using the exercise protocol with outcome measure of dizziness handicap inventory and berg balance scale. Results: Validity was tested by assessing the degree to which DHI total score and DHI sub scale components i.e physical, functional, emotional correlated with the Berg balance scale, by Spearman correlation coefficient. Conclusion: The study was concluded that the better the improvement in dizziness, the better is the balance of dizziness caused by BPPV, it also observed that there is more strong co relation functional component.

Abstract: Introduction: Cerebral Palsy describes “group of disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain”. Children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy learn strategies [4] and techniques leading to learnt non-use of the affected hand. Purpose of Study: Out of total population of children with cerebral palsy, about 18% children [1] are diagnosed cases of hemiplegic cerebral palsy as per the statistical data available in the Indian Journal of Paediatrics. G. Cioni [15] in his study have shown that upper extremity involvement is more severe and the residual effects are prolonged. Hence, easy and suitable treatment technique is necessary that will help the patients in better recovery and early functional use of hand. Aim of study: To study the effect of mirror therapy on hand functions in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Methodology: A 5year old female patient diagnosed as hemiplegic cerebral palsy was assessed for the QUEST [Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test] and Box and Block test. Mirror therapy was taken for 30 minutes per day for 6 days a week for 3 weeks. Activities performed by the right hand included-Grasps of cylindrical, spherical and hook pattern, Gripping activities with theraputty of green colour, Arrangement of peg board, Peg link activities, Transfer of objects. Conclusion: the pre-treatment and post treatment scores showed significant changes suggesting that mirror therapy has an effect incorporating use of affected hand for daily activities.
