ABSTRACT

This study was aimed to investigate the learning experiences' facilitators and barriers that is encountered by the physically disabled female students during their higher education. Twenty semi-structured interviews were conducted with female students with physical disabilities aged between 19 and 33 years. Interviews were transcribed, confirmed, and analyzed after being recorded. The average age of the sample was 22.15 ± 3.48 years and one-fourth of the participants' disability was due to cerebral palsy and 35% participants used wheelchairs. All the factors promoted inclusive education and equal opportunities for both disabled and nondisabled students. This study reveals that in order to improve the learning experiences of students with disabilities (SwD) and to give them more opportunities for success, it is important to consider all the barriers discussed in this study. It can be concluded that high effort is required to transform the higher educational institutions to be more accommodating for students with disabilities.

ABSTRACT

A variety of diseases, including gait ataxia, lack of coordination, diminished dexterity, and unsteady posture, can be brought on by cerebellar dysfunction. This case study looks into how a physical therapy program affected a 40-year-old patient's dynamic balance after cerebellar tumour surgery. The patient complained of losing his balance and having uncoordinated motions on the left side of the body. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test was used to gauge how the Frenkel coordination exercises and balance training affected dynamic balance following cerebellar tumour removal. The patient's muscle strength in the left-side hip extensors, abductors and adductors, knee flexors and extensors, as well as the left-side shoulder, elbow, and wrist flexion and extension, significantly improved.
