Ectopion comes from the greek word ek’’ which means ‘’out’’ and trepein which means to turn. It is a condition in which eye lid is turned away from the eye ball. ANATOMY The eye lids are two fibromuscular structures ( outer layer containing skin, muscle as well as dense fibrous tissue and an inner transparent layer called conjunctiva) that close in front of the eye ball hence protecting it. Any pathology in these structures can cause failure of the eye lid to retain its normal position resulting in Ectropion or eye lid being turned away from eye ball.

If you or a loved one have suffered a stroke or traumatic injury or had surgery such as a joint replacement, you may think that medical treatment is what is needed to get you back to living the life you love. And while it is true that medical treatment can help put the pieces back together again, it is physical therapy that trains and retrains the body and mind to work together to restore and maintain physical function and mobility. Although physical therapy, commonly known a...s PT, has been used since the early 1920s, it wasn’t until the mid-1940s that it spiked in popularity and demand. The American Physical Therapists Association contributes the rise in demand to a severe outbreak of polio and the physical effects of war on soldiers during World War II. Doctors began to see the positive results of using physical therapy in treatment plans for injured soldiers or patients diagnosed with polio. The benefits to both injury and illness survivors have been consistently praised since that time. By helping retrain and restore (rehabilitate) the joints and muscles, a physical therapist can help cut down recovery time and the lasting effects of injury or illness. The Washington Post published an article on the rapid recovery time shown by injured athletes compared to the average person. They contribute much of that rapid recovery to the immediate application of physical therapy. Physical therapy is delivered by highly trained medical professionals called physical therapists, or PTs. Today, PTs are crucial elements of the health care team and most have doctorate level degrees. The American Physical Therapy Association says it best: PTs are educated in understanding the interaction of all your body parts. Their hands-on approach begins with examination, diagnosis and treatment of the immediate problem. Then they teach you how to take care of yourself by showing you how to do exercises and how to use your body properly to gain strength and mobility and prevent recurring injury. They advise on proper posture and body motion in the workplace, treating injuries, consulting on fitness and administering physical therapy in the home. Today, physical therapists provide help for every part of the body to everyone from infants to the elderly more than one million people every day! Physical therapists can also help in injury prevention by working with patients, like athletes, to increase their physical mobility and joint health. They teach patients how to properly reach fitness goals while avoiding injury and not overwhelming the body. This kind of physical training is helpful in improving the body’s durability and helps target specific muscle groups needed for specific actions and moves.

Dry needling and acupuncture involve puncturing the skin with thin needles for therapeutic purposes. While a shared aim is to provide relief from pain, the practices are otherwise very different. Practitioners of dry needling attempt to release tension from knots and pressure points in muscles. Acupuncturists insert needles to release endorphins and affect the nervous system. Traditionally, acupuncture was used to align a person's energy, or chi. While researchers have studie...d acupuncture as a complementary treatment for many conditions, dry needling is a newer practice, and the evidence is less comprehensive. Also, strict guidelines are in place for acupuncturists, but dry needling is not regulated. In this article, learn more about the differences between these practices and what their benefits may be.

Inversion therapy is where a person is suspended upside down for several minutes with the aim of relieving back pain or similar ailments. Some evidence supports the use of inversion therapy for short-term management of back pain. Inversion therapy is said to take the pressure off a person's spine, open up the vertebrae, and increase circulation. However, evidence of its effectiveness is mixed, and it may not be safe for everyone, such as those with high blood pressure or glaucoma.

Dangerous falls are common in people over 65 years of age and can result in serious injury, and even death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2.5 million older people are treated in the emergency room for fall injuries each year. The average health care costs related to falls is $35,000 per fall. Performing safe home exercises can help strengthen your lower body to reduce your overall fall risk.... Always check with your health care provider before beginning a home-exercise program. A physical therapist can evaluate your balance and let you know which exercises are safe for you to perform at home. Here are some exercises your physical therapist might recommend: For safety, position yourself near a counter top or sturdy surface that you can hold on to for support, or go outside where you can perform exercises on soft ground, away from other obstacles you might hit if you fall. 1. Standing March Stand in place and start marching in place slowly for 20-30 seconds. As this becomes easier, challenge your balance and change up the surface you are marching on: from hardwood to carpet, foam pad, grass, etc. 2. Standing 3-Way Kicks Standing on 1 leg (with a soft knee, not locked in full extension), move the other leg in front of you (keeping your leg as straight as possible), then out to the side, and then behind your body. Perform 10 times on each side. 3. Sidestepping Walking alongside (facing) a countertop or near a wall (with hands on surface as needed), step sideways in 1 direction with your toes pointed straight ahead. Move 10 steps in 1 direction, then return in the other direction. As this becomes easier, use a resistance band just above the ankles. 4. 1-Leg Stand Stand on 1 leg as long as you are able, up to 30 seconds. Alternate legs, and try to do this 3-5 times on each leg. As this becomes easier, challenge yourself by doing other tasks while standing on 1 leg, such as brushing your teeth, talking on the phone, or while doing biceps curls. 5. Sit to Stand Rise out of a chair without using your arms to push up. If this is difficult at first, use a firm pad underneath you (to place on chair seat) to raise you as you need. Perform 10 times. 6. Tandem standing or tandem walking Place 1 foot directly in front of the other, so the heel of the front foot touches the toe of the back foot. Maintain standing in this position as long as you are able, or up to 30 seconds. As this becomes easier, try taking a few steps in this heel-to-toe format, as if you are walking on a tight rope. Remember to use something to hold on to for safety.
