Research Grant Through MRS of Sir H N Hospital

Dr. Nandu Chhabria PT. is the Principal Investigator on a Research project funded by the MRS - Medical Research Society of Sir H N Hospital. The Subject is Brain Dysfunction - milestones and NEUROANATOMICAL Study.

Growth and development has been until now studied in terms of milestones. In fact growth is not linear, but simultaneous in all areas of Sensory Motor function. It is dependent on neural network maturation. Every network has its peak velocity period of maturation resulting into milestones. Experiments have shown that if the peak velocity period is not utilized then the networks function is diminished throughout life.

Keeping the above said in mind, this study will be conducted on children with Brain Dysfunction in the age group of 0-5 years. This study will evaluate delayed milestones and developmental age by standardized tests like Gazelle Developmental Quotient AND network maturation and pathway analysis, clinically. A comparative study of treating children with conservative methods and stimulus specific therapy will be studied.

MRS of Sir H.N Hospital has alreaady published a brochure on CSR.

A book on Rehabilitation was earlier published under the Editorship of Dr Nandu Chhabria and a chapter on STROKE.
