Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a common vestibular disorder that causes brief episodes of spinning sensation (vertigo) triggered by changes in head position.
Muscle inhibition after a joint injury is commonly called Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI). It is a protective reflex in which the nervous system reduces the ability to fully activate muscles surrounding an injured or painful joint.
Movement science is the study of how the human body moves, controls movement, produces force, and maintains balance. In physiotherapy, it helps therapists understand normal and abnormal movement and design effective rehabilitation programs.
Cueing techniques are external strategies that help people with bradykinesia initiate and perform movements more effectively by bypassing impaired internal movement control.
Physiotherapy Tips

Progress gradually according to pain tolerance.
Maintain controlled movements throughout each exercise.
Perform exercises 3–5 times per week as advised by your physiotherapist.

Scapular kinesthesia is the ability to sense the position and movement of the shoulder blade (scapula) without looking at it. It is a key component of proprioception, helping maintain normal shoulder movement, stability, and coordination during daily and sports activities.
The Pronator Drift Test is a simple neurological examination used to detect subtle upper motor neuron weakness, particularly involving the corticospinal tract. It is commonly performed in patients suspected of having a stroke, brain lesion, or cervical spinal cord pathology.
Volkmann ischemic contracture (VIC) is a permanent flexion deformity of the hand, wrist, and fingers caused by ischemia (loss of blood supply) to the forearm muscles, usually following acute compartment syndrome.
Early intervention leads to better outcomes. If developmental delay is identified early, appropriate physiotherapy can significantly improve a child's functional abilities and quality of life
