Introduction: Myofascial pain syndrome is one among common disorder in the world population. In astudy on patients with pain complaints, 31% had acute trigger points in all age groups and both sexes.Objective: To find whether there is any additional benefit when trigger point release technique is givenalong with phonophoresis than phonophoresis alone in reducing myofascial pain of Calf muscle.Method: The study is experimental in nature. Thirty samples were selected, using simple randomsampling method and were divided into equal groups. Pretest measurement was taken for pain usingvisual analogue scale. After the pretest experimental group one, received phonophoresis with triggerpoint release techniques and experimental group two received phonophoresis alone once a day for aperiod of seven days. Posttest measurements were recorded for both the experimental groups at the endof the seventh days.Result: The data was subjected to statistical analysis and the following results were obtain.Phonophoresis and Trigger point release technique is significantly effective in reducing myofascialpain of Calf muscle. Phonophoresis is also significantly effective in reducing myofascial pain of Calfmuscle. Phonophoresis with Trigger point release technique is significantly more effective in reducingmyofascial pain of Calf muscle than phonophoresis alone.Conclusion: The results of the study makes us to conclude that Phonophoresis with Trigger point releasetechnique is significantly effective in reducing myofascia pain of Calf muscle than phonophoresis alone.

Background: More dimensions in anthropometric variables and dominance of the hand aid in bowler’ssuccess and is easier for coaches/teams to pick and hire on the basis of fast and spin bowlers. Little isknown to date on the relationship between anthropometric measures and handgrip power in collegiatebowlers. Present study is an attempt to quantify the handgrip power of collegiate male cricketers, andto explore its correlations with some selected anthropometric variables.Methods: Forty fast and 37 spin bowlers, aged between 20-25 years (mean age= 22.7±1.2 years) wereselected from match practice group of different colleges in Rahata taluka, Maharashtra. Body heightand mass were measured to calculate body mass index. Handgrip strength was measured with standarddynamometer. Statistical analysis was carried out for each variable and independent t-test was used toanalyze differences between the two groups. Pearson’s correlation coefficient test was done to obtainrelationship between handgrip strength and selected anthropomorphic variables. The significance wasset at 0.05.Conclusion: Anthropometric variables were directly related to handgrip strength among bowlers inthis study. Forearm lengths of spinners were longer than fast bowlers. Handgrip strength was more indominant hand and spinners had more handgrip strength than fast bowlers. These parameters will helpin future for talent identification in handgrip-related sports and/or clinical settings.

Therapy (DPT) students in 12 month, 1 month and 7 days and its risk factors, also to find out which yearof physiotherapy study has most severe LBP.Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the College of Physiotherapy, JPMC,Karachi, Pakistan in January 2021. Data was collected from 115 DPT students. Students aged between18 to 25 years were included in the survey. Nordic Back Pain Questionnaire was use to the collect data.Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequency, mean and chi- square test.Results: Results reveals that DPT students aged between 20 and 22 were more at risk of LBP, mostcommonly due to poor posture furthermore educational subjection of ‘sitting looking down’ and‘treating patients’ were related to LBP.Strong association was found between gender and LBP duringlast 12 months. Highest % of LBP during last 12 months was found in female in 1-7 days. Consideringthe response of all categories of LBP prevalence (LBP in 12 months, LBP in 1 month and LBP in 7days) we have found that in 5th year the highest prevalence of LBP was in 1 month (565.21).Conclusion: The data suggest that LBP faced daily by many of physiotherapy students in each yearlevel of undergraduate program. Hence this survey concluded that awareness and knowledge regardingproper body mechanics must be spread among DPT students so the global burden of LBP could bereduced.

Background: Stroke is one of the significant public health challenges and one of the critical causes ofdisability. It has been forecasted that globally age group 6o and above will outnumber children under age14 in 2047. With the increasing rate of survival, the burden of stroke is going to increase continuously.Currently, old age people suffer from stroke, which limits their activities of daily living. This study exploresthe determinants of stroke survivors seeking rehabilitation services and the factors affecting them.Methods: In this study, first wave of Longitudinal aging study in India (LASI) data has been used. The datawas collected from all the States and Union Territories across India in 2017-2018. A total number of 72,265individuals (45 years and above) participated in this study. Subjects who have been ever diagnosed withstroke by any health care professionals were considered as the study population. Subjects were categorizedinto two groups based on accessing rehabilitation services. For the data analysis, survey-weighted tools havebeen applied for descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression model. The data analysis used Rversion 4 using R studio.Results and Discussion: The prevalence of stroke is 1.8% in India. Nearly 40% of them visited Physicaltherapy or Occupational therapy services for their rehabilitation. Household economical condition, gender,residence, requirement of additional help for daily activities and availability of health insurance are stronglydetermining visiting rehabilitation services. The summary of this will help to develop our understanding of,why people are not availing of rehabilitation services despite having multiple problems.

Background and Objectives: The functioning of the hip and trunk muscles has an effect on low backregion. Gluteus medius (Gmed) being the primary hip abductor plays a significant role in maintaining thestability of the pelvis. Despite the significance, this muscle activity is least addressed and is also thoughtto be one among the major causes of pain in the low back. The aim of the study was to compare theactivity of Gmed in non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) and healthy individuals using SurfaceElectromyography (SEMG).Methods: 506 subjects were screened, of which 200 subjects were selected. Group A: NSCLBP (n=100)and GROUP B: Healthy controls (n=100). Both groups were instructed to perform maximum voluntarycontractions. The mean root mean square (RMS) value of Gmed muscle activity for the exercise task wasrecorded and analyzed using SEMG.Results: The results demonstrated that the mean RMS value of the right Gmed muscle activity for GROUPA was lesser (53.00 ± 24.81) than GROUP B (87.9 ± 37.47). The mean RMS value of the left Gmed activitywas also lesser for GROUP A (55.99 ± 27.21) compared to GROUP B (89.72 ± 39.83). The difference inmeans between the two groups showed highly significant outcome (P<0.001).Conclusion: The study concluded that the muscle activity of Gmed between the groups was lesser in GroupA compared to Group B indicating differential activation of the muscle in people with NSCLBP. However,there was no significant difference in mean RMS value of the right and left Gmed muscle activity whencompared within the groups respectively.

Background: Resisted Abdominal curl-up exercise training has been used to increase respiratory muscle strength, but no studies have been done to determine whether this type of non - respiratory activity can lead to respiratory fatigue. Objective: To compare the effect of abdominal resisted exercises on pulmonary function test values during summer and winter season in healthy female subjects. Procedure: 50 subjects were taken on the basis of criteria of selection and their baseline values were documented. Intervention given were abdominal curl up exercise in form of Grade-3 for 30 repetitions in one minute for one session per day which was carried out for 3 continuous days. Post Intervention PFT Values were taken immediately after Abdominal Resisted Exercises. Pre and post intervention values of 3 days were taken in form of PFT values. This procedure was carried out in summer and winter season for the recruited subjects in temperature of above 35 0 and below 25 0 . Results: Thus, it can be analyzed that P≥ 0.05 in case of pre and post values of FVC and MVV in winter season but P≤0.05 in case of pre and post values of FVC and MVV in summer season which is due to increased metabolic activity in summer season. Conclusion: This study concludes that implementing a primarily non respiratory activity induces fatigue on respiratory muscle strength by reducing FVC and MVV measurements of pulmonary function test more in summer season than in winter season in healthy female subjects.

Objective: To Find Out Effectiveness of AD and ADT in the Patients Who Had Under Gone LaprotomyMethod: Study design: Comparative StudyStudy Setting: It Was Concluded In General Surgical Wards In Civil Hospital, Ahmadabad.Study Duration: 3 months. The duration of treatment programmed for each subjects was 3-to 4 days.Sample selection: Patients (between 25 years to50 years) who had under gone laprotomy were selected forthis study, total 40 patients were selected for this study on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results: There was significant improvement in parameters of the patients of two groups after treatment byautogenic drainage and active cycle of breathing technique within the surgical wards.Conclusion: This study suggests that there is no significant deference in effects of obtained with autogenicdrainage and active cycle of breathing techniques. It was also observed that individually autogenic drainageand active cycle of breathing techniques are significantly effective.
