The most frequent benign bone tumor is osteochondroma, which account for 45 percent of all benign bone tumours. Although not a real neoplasm, osteochondroma (exostosis) is the most common lesion and is often classed as a tumour. The majority of them develop in the metaphyseal region of long bones like the femur and tibia. A 21-year-old female presented to the orthopedic OPD with complaints of pain and swelling over dorsal spine since 2 years with left upper limb radiculopathy since 1 month. Pain was insidious in onset which started 1 month back and it aggravated ever since. On inspection swelling present over paraspinal region of approximately 5cm in length and 4cm in width. On palpation swelling was not adherent to skin, immobile and firm in consistency. Osteochondroma represent the most common bone tumor accounting for 20 to 50% of all benign osseous tumors. In osteochondroma maintaining mobility is important for activities of daily living and to maintain the quality of life. Physiotherapy plays a significant role in maintaining the mobility and improving the quality of life.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the intervention protocols to using commercial video games as virtual reality (VR) in rehabilitation of patients with stroke. Methods: Integrative review using the descriptors “rehabilitation”, “virtual reality exposure therapy” and “videogames” in the LILACS and PUBMED databases. Articles published from 2011 to 2018 were selected. Results: We found 1,396 articles, 1,383 were excluded and 13 were selected. Most of the articles were randomized clinical trials published in 2014 or later. The sample size varied from 5–47 adults, or adults and elders, with chronic stroke. The Nintendo Wii® was the most used video game system. The intervention happened two or three times a week, each session lasting from 30 to 60 minutes, over 2–12 weeks. Balance, upper limb motor functions, quality of life and daily living activities were the most common evaluated outcomes. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment, Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go test, Barthel Scale and SF-36 were the most common outcome measurement tools. Conclusions: The studies indicated improvement in dynamic balance, upper limb motor function and quality of life after rehabilitation using VR. The VR was more effective than conventional treatments for the outcome of dynamic balance. Two studies did not find any changes in static balance and daily living activities. Physical aspects and quality of life were the outcomes most evaluated by the researchers; as were the population with chronic strokes and protocols of long duration and low intensity. Few studies targeted immediate VR effects, performance in daily living activities and social participation.

Medial Cuneiform

A unicameral bone cyst is a relatively uncommon, benign bone tumor found in the metaphysis of long bones, such as the humerus and the femur, in skeletally immature persons. In the foot, these benign, fluid-filled cavities are most commonly found within the os calcis. We present a case report of a 10-year-old female with a unicameral bone cyst of the medial cuneiform.

Upper Limb Paresis

Stroke is particularly prevalent in older people and the effects of stroke can be profound. Not only are the abilities to stand, balance and walk affected, but also the ability to use the upper limb and hand in its diversity of functions in everyday life. Loss of independence of upper limb function contributes enormously to functional disability, affecting quality of life and independence in ‘basic’ (washing, grooming, feeding, dressing, etc.) and ‘instrumental’ activities (shopping, home/financial management, etc.) of daily living. A larger proportion of stroke patients with initial severe upper limb paresis are discharged to institutionalized care (63%) than are discharged home (37%).

INTRODUCTION Upper limb prostheses are commonly prescribed for people with upper limb absence (ULA) to restore function, cosmesis, and assist with activities of daily living. However, nearly one in five people with ULA chooses not to use a prosthesis1 and instead turns to alternative technology and adaptations, pointing to factors beyond prostheses that shape perceptions of ability and quality of life. We examined through interviews the lived experiences of people with ULA framed around their perceptions of ability, device use, and quality of life.
