Campus Review; Institute Of Physical Medicine & Rehabili-tation, KMU After establishment of Khyber Medical University in 2007, the need of
physical therapy and rehab services was greatly felt so a bold step of es-
tablishing the first ever public sector physical therapy and rehabilitation
educational institute in KPK was taken by the Khyber Medical University,
the “Institute of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation – IPM&R”, with Sir
Muhammad Ibrahim Farooqi as the first Director of IPM&R in 2009. The
present Director of IPM&R is, Sir Muhammad Bin Afsar Jan and the in-
digenous teaching faculty includes Sir Haider Darain, Sir Mujeeb ur Reh-
man, Sir Muhammad Ibrahim, Sir Salman and Madam Sajida. IPM&R
presently has 5 batches of DPT and 1 batch of MSPT. The first batch of
DPT is to graduate in Feb 2013 from IPM&R. Talking about the infrastruc-
ture, IPM&R is equipped with state of the art Lecture Halls and Learning
Resource Centre and with its Clinical Department undergoing completion
and is in its final stages.

Insight of Doctor of Physical Therapy “A Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) or Doctor of
Physiotherapy (DPhysio) degree is a post-
baccalaureate degree which may be conferred upon
successful completion of a professional doctoral pro-
gram.”- Wikipedia
A Transition Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree is also
offered for those who already hold professional Bacca-
laureate or Master of Physical Therapy (MSPT) degree.
As of 2012, of the 227 accredited and developing physi-
cal therapist programs, 226 are DPT programs in the US
and similarly educational institutes are shifting from
BSPT to DPT. The Commission
on Accreditation in Physical
Therapy Education (CAPTE)
will require all programs to offer
the DPT degree effective De-
cember 31, 2015. After com-
pleting a DPT program the doc-
tor of physical therapy may con-
tinue training in a residency and
then fellowship. Credentialed
residencies are between 9 and
36 months while credentialed
fellowships are between 6 and
36 months.
In UK the qualifying degree remains Bachelor or Master
of Science, Physiotherapy (with honours). The Doctor of
Physiotherapy in the UK differs from a US clinical doctor-
ate in that it is a 5-year post-professional Physiotherapy
specific research programme, which is offered at the
University of Sussex. Other UK institutions prefer to offer
a generic ProfD (Professional Doctorate).

History Of the DPT Degree
In 1992, the University of Southern California
initiated the first post-professional
"transitional" (DPT) program in the United States.
This "transitional" DPT takes into account a thera-
pist's current level of knowledge and skill and pur-
ports to offer programs that upgrade clinical skills
to meet the needs of the current health care envi-
ronment. Creighton University followed by initiat-
ing the first entry-level DPT program in 1993
Admission
Admission to a Doctor of Physical Therapy pro-
gram can be highly competitive. As of 2010 in US
the average GPA for enrolling students was 3.5
with a range of 3.0 to 3.85 for all programs. On av-
erage there were 290 applicants per program with
an average final of 41 students per class or an av-
erage acceptance rate of 14%.
Controversies
The use of the title doctor by physical therapists
and other non-physician health care professionals is controversial.In a letter to The New York Times, the president of the American Physical Therapy
Association responded:
"To provide accurate informa-
tion to consumers, the Ameri-
can Physical Therapy Associa-
tion has taken a proactive ap-
proach and provides clear
guidelines for physical thera-
pists regarding the use of the
title "Doctor." These guidelines
state that physical therapists, in
all clinical settings, who hold a
Doctor of Physical Therapy de-
gree (DPT) shall indicate they
are physical therapists when
using the title "Doctor" or "Dr," and shall use the
titles in accord with jurisdictional law."
APTA 2020 Vision Statement;
"By 2020, physical therapy will be pro-
vided by physical therapists who are doc-
tors of physical therapy, recognized by
consumers and other health care profes-
sionals as the practitioners of choice to
whom consumers have direct access for
the diagnosis of, interventions for, and
prevention of impairments, functional
limitations, and disabilities related to
movement, function, and health."

New Year Resolution; The Millen-nium Devel-opmental
Goals
With every new year
comes the New Year
Resolutions, and be-
ing in health care-
what could be a bet-
ter resolution than
“The Millennium De-
velopmental Goals”
What is Millin-
neum Develop-
mental Goals?
The United Nations
Millennium Develop-
ment Goals are eight
goals that all 191 UN
member states have
agreed to try to
achieve by the year
2015. The United Na-
tions Millennium Dec-
laration, signed in
September 2000
commits world lead-
ers to combat pov-
erty, hunger, dis-
ease, illiteracy, envi-
ronmental degrada-
tion, and discrimina-
tion against women.
The MDGs are de-
rived from this Decla-
ration, and all have
specific targets and
indicators.
Millennium Developmental Goals
Regenerative Medicine - A Step towards Future Regenerative medicine is the "process of replacing or regenerating human cells, tissues or
organs to restore or establish normal function".
This field holds the promise of regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body by
replacing damaged tissue and/or by stimulating the body's own repair mechanisms to heal
previously irreparable tissues or organs. Regenerative medicine also empowers scientists to
grow tissues and organs in the laboratory and safely implant them when the body cannot
heal itself. Importantly, regenerative medicine has the potential to solve the problem of the
shortage of organs available for donation compared to the number of patients that require
life-saving organ transplantation. Depending on the source of cells, it can potentially solve
the problem of organ transplant rejection if the organ's cells are derived from the patient's
own tissue or cells
Regenerative Medicine refers to a group of biomedical approaches to clinical therapies that
may involve the use of stem cells. Examples include the injection of stem cells or progenitor
cells (cell therapies), the induction of regeneration by biologically active molecules adminis-
tered alone or as a secretion by infused cells (immunomodulation therapy), and transplanta-
tion of in vitro grown organs and tissues (Tissue engineering).
Clinical Application & Significance A form of regenerative medicine that recently made it into clinical practice, is the use of
heparan sulfate analogues on (chronic) wound healing. Heparan sulfate analogues replace
degraded heparan sulfate at the wound site. They assist the damaged tissue to heal itself by
repositioning growth factors and cytokines back into the damaged extracellular matrix. For
example, in abdominal wall reconstruction (like inguinal hernia repair), biologic meshes are
being used with some success.
Cord Blood & Regenerative Medicine Because a person’s own (autologous) cord blood stem cells can be safely infused back into
that individual without being rejected by the body’s immune system, and because they have
unique characteristics compared to other sources of stem cells, they are an increasing focus
of regenerative medicine research.
The use of cord blood stem cells in treating conditions such as Brain Injury and Type 1
Diabetes is already being studied in humans, and earlier stage research is being conducted
for treatments of Stroke, and Hearing Loss.
Current estimates indicate that approximately 1 in 3 Americans could benefit from regenera-
tive medicine. With autologous (the person’s own) cells, there is no risk of the immune sys-

Lumbar Support in Sitting In this issue, Club Rehab is featuring the importance of the
LUMBAR SUPPORT IN SITTING. Without this support the
low back will slouch whenever one is distracted or ceases to
concentrate on anything other than holding the lordosis ac-
tively with his or her own muscles, i.e. ANY moment at work
and driving. To counteract this slouching, one must place the
lumbar roll at the level of the beltline. The roll should be 4-5
inches in diameter before being compressed to a desired 1.5
inches. A cushion has the wrong shape and does not provide
adequate pressure at the precise level of the low back. New
pains are expected for a few days when sitting with lumbar
support, as they are the result of new exercise through main-
taining new positions. We believe that clinically, reduced lum-
bar lordosis over a prolonged/habitual period tightens hip flex-
ors, thus contributing to faulty hip mechanics and resultant
increased load on the knees in weight bearing; tight chest
muscles and
weak scapular
s t a b i l i z e r s
( th rou gh i n -
creased scapular
abduction) thus
resulting in shoul-
der impingement;
increased tho-
racic kyphosis and cervical lordosis further increasing poste-
rior displacement of lower cervical discs, TMJ dysfunction,
and reduced cerebral circulation resulting in headaches.
Technique to provide Lumbar Support in Sitting
Sit all the way back so
there is contact with the
chair and upper buttock.
Lean forward to place
the roll just above the
beltline.
Sit back comfortably into
support.
