EAST syndrome is autosomal recessive disorder due to mutations in gene KCNJ10, a gene encoding a potassium channel expressed in the brain, eye, ear and kidney. It is characterized by four cardinal features; Epilepsy, Ataxia, Sensorineural deafness, and renal salt-wasting Tubulopathy, thus the acronym EAST syndrome. It was rst described as a distinct clinical entity in 2009 by Bockenhauer and scholl, who named this condition EAST syndrome and SeSAME syndrome for Seizures, Sensorineural deafness, Ataxia, Mental retardation and Electrolyte imbalance respectively. Neurodevelopmental delay is evident in most patients with EAST syndrome that were old enough to be assessed; Thus, physiotherapy intervention also plays a vital role in EAST syndrome along with medical management. From physiotherapy perspective; symptomatic management to Improve overall health, wellbeing and motor control becomes ultimate goal in the patient with EAST syndrome. As there is no specic physical therapy treatment approach and no specic tool to evaluate function for children with EAST syndrome; for clinically presented delay development and ataxia, Neurodevelopment therapy (NDT) was utilized as treatment approach and Gross motor function measure (GMFM) & Gross motor performance measure (GMPM) were utilized for assessment in this case study to track progress on follow ups. Result showed marked improvement in GMFM and GMPM scores at follow ups and concluded that Physical therapy intervention improves the gross motor function as well as gross motor performance in patient with EAST syndrome.

It is interesting to be aware that there is no Randomized Clinical Trials (RCT) research article except a few case-study reports which have been reported about the physical therapy (PT) intervention for stiff person syndrome (SPS). This study was designed to determine the benefits of PT in cases with SPS through analysis of case reports, thereby to raise awareness among physical therapist about the most beneficial PT interventions for SPS. We executed acomputer-based search with a diagnosis of SPS who underwent PT and articles published only in English. We selected case-study reports because of nonavailability of RCT articles to review the complaints, deformities, contractures, precipitating factors, interventions, outcomes, results, disability, and benefits of PT management among SPS. We concluded that PT training is substantiated to be a necessary and beneficial intervention in rehabilitation of patients with SPS.
