Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Department of Physiotherapy Researcher Provides New Data on Headache (An observational study to find out the relationship between the types of headaches and balance dysfunction by using Fukuda test among young individuals)

Article Description
Headache disorders are reported by more than 50% of adults during the previous year in India. In addition to their great prevalence, the World Health Organization lists them as amongthe top ten conditions that are the most disabling. The high disability levels among headaches can also occur with several conditions such as vestibular symptoms, and balance alterations. Among these, balance dysfunction is often verified in patients with migraine, followed by tension-type and cervicogenic headaches. With this background in mind, the present study aims to use the Fukuda stepping test (FST) to look at the occurrence of balance disturbances in headache patients. A total of 40 headache subjects aged between 18 and 25 years volunteered to participate as subjects in this study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Headache questionnaire and Headaches Impact Test scale were used to analyze the severity of headache in each subject. The FST is used for analyze balance dysfunction in headaches subject and it helps to identify vestibular system weakness by observing any deviation of the body while an individual performs the test. The Four-Stage Balance Test is used to assess an individual's ability to maintain balance and control in various positions and movements, helping to identify any deficits in their balance. Using Pearson's correlation coefficient, a weak positive correlation (r = 0.273 and P ≤ 0.005) was observed between Headache Impact Test (HIT) scores in F50 and F100. The relationship between FSBT in F50 and F100 also shows a moderate negative correlation (r = -0.516 and P ≤ 0.005) and is statistically significant. The study shows that individuals experiencing headaches exhibited balance disturbances when they performed the FST, indicating a potential association between headaches and balance.
