Post stroke fall and associated factors among stroke survivors at hospitals in Jimma town, oromia regional state, Southwest Ethiopia, 2025: a cross sectional study.

Background: Post-stroke fall is a common incidence among stroke survivors, and it has several detrimental effects on this group of people. It significantly influences their well-being, increasing morbidity and reducing functional independence. It also leads to limiting activity and participation, increasing dependence and developing a fear of movements.

Kinesiophobia and associated factors among people with musculoskeletal disorders in Ethiopia: a multicenter cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Kinesiophobia has a major health impact on patients with Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in their functional and physical activities, which leads to poor outcomes, loss of motivation, loss of mobility, and decreased quality of life. Despite the burden of kinesiophobia among MSDs, there is limited evidence about the burden of kinesiophobia in Ethiopia. Thus, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and its associated factors of kinesiophobia among MSD patients attending physiotherapy outpatient clinics.

Cross-cultural translation, adaptation, and validation of the stroke-specific quality of life (SSQOL) scale 2.0 into Amharic language.

Background: The stroke-specific quality of life 2.0 (SSQOL 2.0) scale is a valid, reliable instrument which has been widely used as a patients reported outcome measure among stroke survivors.

Effectiveness of Respiratory Muscle Training on Respiratory Muscle Strength, Pulmonary Function, and Respiratory Complications in Stroke Survivors: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: Stroke is the most common leading cause of mortality and related morbidities worldwide. After stroke, the motor function of extremities and spinal muscles is significantly impairment, but not only this, it also has attributable factors leading to respiratory dysfunction. Nevertheless, to the extent of the authors' knowledge, there is a dearth of conclusive studies which examined the effectiveness of RMT on muscle strength, pulmonary function, and respiratory complications of individuals after stroke.

Effect of Ankle Joint Mobilization with Movement on Range of Motion, Balance and Gait Function in Chronic Stroke Survivors: Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: Ankle joint mobilization with movement has been speculated to be an important intervention for enhancing range of motion, balance, and gait functions in chronic stroke survivors. Nonetheless, there is a scarcity of recent conclusive evidence that evaluates its efficacy in chronic stroke patients. The purpose of this review was to synthesize existing evidence on the efficacy of mobilization with movement therapy on range of motion, balance, and gait performance in subjects after stroke.

Musculoskeletal Disorders and Associated Factors Among Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Attending at Saint Paul Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders contributed from chronic kidney disease are increasing worldwide. Musculoskeletal disorders had a significant health burden and are leading causes of co-morbidities, disability and low productivity, which potentially affect individual's functional status and quality of life.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and its associated factors among patients with chronic kidney attending in Saint Paul Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
