Abstract: Background: Background: Neck pain can be caused by different pathology that can affect patients’ day to day life due to pain and reduced ROM. The process of making professional decisions before, during, and after treatment in physiotherapy is known as clinical reasoning, and it is seen as a crucial part of physiotherapy practice for physiotherapy professionals. Aim: The aim and objective of this study is to describe a solo case with cervical radiculopathy with appropriate assessment and evidence-based treatment, also evaluating the outcome of the treatment process therefore establish the effectiveness of advance physiotherapy in this case. Method: A case study of typical cervical radiculopathy managed by using clinical reasoning process and advance evidence-based physiotherapy treatment to reduce pain, increase ROM, improve functional ability and ADL’s. Result: Pain was noticeably reduced, and range of motion had improved and changes in disability status with neck disability index by the end of the six-week therapeutic strategy. Patient can now participate in daily activities without any limitation. Conclusion: This case study states that evidenced based physiotherapy is beneficial for cervical radiculopathy. In addition, application and clinical reasoning process can be useful and cost effective.

Abstract: Every year, 131.4 million babies are born worldwide. Out of these, 303,000 maternal fatalities and an estimated 2.7 million neonatal deaths and 2.6 million stillbirths are thought to occur annually over the world. ZMQ established an innovative BCC model called MIRA Channel which interacts with semi-literate and illiterate women using an innovative digital-Communication for Development (d-C4D) technique for bringing about change in behaviours & attitudes by bridging the knowledge gap and building new demand-seeking behaviours. For millions of semi-literate and illiterate rural women, MIRA Channel employs audio-visual based localised and contextualised messages that act as a "Talking Toolkit," assisting in faster processing and longer retention of knowledge for sustainable behaviour change. The model was tested in Nuh (Mewat) with 2,467 women and 25 MIRA and ASHAs in the intervention and the control group. The findings showed that the MIRA Channel, along with its weekly prenatal care communication packs and other SBCC tools, significantly influenced the overall outcome of all the key parameters like prenatal and postnatal KAPs, uptake of ANCs, uptake of tetanus vaccine, institutional deliveries, initiation of breastfeeting and other parameters. When compared to the control group, MIRA intervention showed significant increase in the uptake of all three ANCs in the intervention area. An important MCH indicator component, institutional delivery, showed improvement of over 67 percent. We discovered that women in the intervention region were more knowledgeable about obstetrics and the danger indicators of a new-born and were better equipped to respond to a situation, should one arise. Findings also showed, on an average 13-18 visits to pregnant women during the course of pregnancy comprising of information delivery and health tracking leads to improved knowledge and positive attitude towards health services. It is discovered that the innovative communication employing localised audio-visual information increased beneficiary service uptake and comprehension.
