Background: Parkinson’s disease is considered predominantly a disorder of the basal ganglia. Their vastsystem of communication allows them to get involved with a variety of functions, including automatic andvoluntary motor control, procedural learning relating to routine behaviors, and emotional functions. Theassociation with other cortical areas ensures smoothly orchestrated movement control and motor behaviors.Method: Experimental Study i.e. Pre to post-test experimental study design with two groups. Conventionalsampling of 60 subjects diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease were randomly distributed in two groups i.e.group E and group C. Group C were given global exercise whereas group E were given exercise using WIIconsole. The outcome was assessed in terms of the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Unified Parkinson’s DiseaseRating Scale (UPDRS), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and Unipedal Stance Test (UST).The subject performed 14 individual 1-hour training sessions, twice a week for 7 weeks.Conclusion: Based on the statistical analysis, it is concluded that WII based motor and cognitive traininghave a good impact on Activity of daily living of patients with Parkinson’s disease. WII based trainingshowed slightly better improvement in the Experimental group.

Background and Objectives: Weaving is the second biggest source of income after agriculture and remainsimportant to India’s economy with roughly 4.3 million people involved, of which 61% are from North-EastIndia. Arunachal Pradesh, one of the North-East states has its own unique method of weaving where itdemands long sitting without back support for hours that can develop Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD).Thus, the study aims to estimate the prevalence of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMD) andseverity of disability due to Low Back Pain (LBP) among traditional weavers of Arunachal Pradesh.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in five districts of Arunachal Pradesh. 210 traditionalweavers were randomly selected. Subjects were screened for Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders(WRMD) using Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) following which, the weavers that reportedLow Back Pain (LBP) were screened for the severity of disability using Modified Oswestry Low Back PainDisability Questionnaire (M-OSW). Results obtained were statistically analysed using SPSS 25.0.Results: The result showed highest prevalence of musculoskeletal disorder in lower back, of which 79.2%had trouble in last 12 months, 69.7% was having trouble during last 7 days and 62.9% were preventedfrom doing normal activities during last 12 months. A total of 36.6% had mild disability, 60.6% moderatedisability and 2.8% severe disability due to low back pain.Conclusion: This study concluded that, prolong work exposure and awkward work postural demandincreases the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders.

Background: Forward head posture (FHP) is an exaggerated anterior lower cervical curve and posteriorupper thoracic curve, leading to excessive anterior positioning of the head concerning a vertical referenceline, accompanying rounded shoulders with thoracic kyphosis, this Occurs due to imbalance betweenposterior and anterior neck muscles, causing neck pain. Exercise treatments are effective in reducing FHPalongside associated neck pain.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to October 2019 on 60 patients diagnosedwith FHP from different hospitals of Quetta and were equally distributed into two groups, each containing30 participants. Group A was given stretching exercises and group B was given isometric exercises for 2weeks. The visual analog scale was used to assess patients before and after treatment. Data were analyzedby Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.Result: Patients were having a mean age of +30.42, Most of them were males (n=34, 57.0%) and from agegroup of 41-60 years (n=33, 55.0%). Moderate severity was reported by (n=41, 58.3%) and both cervicaland thoracic regions were involved in (n=36, 60.0%). Before treatment most of patients were having painintensity of 6 (n=21, 35.0%) and after treatment were having pain intensity 4 (n=24, 40.0%). There wasno significant difference in pain reduction between both interventional groups.Conclusion: The study concludes that both techniques, the isometric strength training, and stretchingexercises are equally effective in correcting forward head posture and associated neck pain reduction.

Background:- Strength is the capability of the neuromuscular system to produce force against an externalresistance.1 Muscular performance is regarded as one the significant component in quality of life. Strengthtraining helps to increase the muscular tension which eventually increases the muscular performance.2 Therepeated and consistent resistance training strengthens the muscles.3 Most of the studies shows the effectof elastic resistance training with short term interventions on muscle strength(isotonic elastic resistancetraining) and have shown positive outcomes4. This is the first study investigating on increase in the strengthof concentric, eccentric , as well as isometric muscle contraction and also, as a whole body exerciser withtargeted muscle and group muscle training. In this study we lack the knowledge on how elastic resistancetraining affects the muscle strength in upper and lower body. Therefore, it is important to know if thiscomprehensive loop system, as a special training variable, could improve the strength in adult healthyindividuals. This study will help to determine the effect of comprehensive loop system on whole bodyexerciser using elastic bands, and assess if four weeks of training are sufficient to change upper and lowerlimb strength.Methodology:- Total 30 subjects were included in the study. All the subjects are healthy individualswere included from orthopedic departments, physiotherapy OPD, physiotherapy clinics, sports academy.Demonstration of the test with help of video and test trial was given in order to gain confidence and breaktheir fear. Latin square design chit was made and participants were asked to randomly pick up the chits.Subjects has to follow the same order of the test from in order to avoid learning bias. They were assessed forpush-up test and squat test for strength before and after the training. And a four weeks training protocol wastaken to assess the upper and lower limb strength respectively.Result:- There is a positive increase in the strength of the muscle which was checked using the push-up andsquat test for upper limb and lower limb respectively. With increase in the counts of push-up test (o.ooo)pre and post training session and with the squat training (p>0.05) pre and post training session, there is asubsequent positive increase in the strength gain of an healthy individual.Conclusion:- There is significant change in the muscle strength after four week of elastic training protocolof healthy adult individuals.

Strengthtraining helps to increase the muscular tension which eventually increases the muscular performance.2 Therepeated and consistent resistance training strengthens the muscles.3 Most of the studies shows the effectof elastic resistance training with short term interventions on muscle strength(isotonic elastic resistancetraining) and have shown positive outcomes4. This is the first study investigating on increase in the strengthof concentric, eccentric , as well as isometric muscle contraction and also, as a whole body exerciser withtargeted muscle and group muscle training. In this study we lack the knowledge on how elastic resistancetraining affects the muscle strength in upper and lower body. Therefore, it is important to know if thiscomprehensive loop system, as a special training variable, could improve the strength in adult healthyindividuals. This study will help to determine the effect of comprehensive loop system on whole bodyexerciser using elastic bands, and assess if four weeks of training are sufficient to change upper and lowerlimb strength.Methodology:- Total 30 subjects were included in the study. All the subjects are healthy individualswere included from orthopedic departments, physiotherapy OPD, physiotherapy clinics, sports academy.Demonstration of the test with help of video and test trial was given in order to gain confidence and breaktheir fear. Latin square design chit was made and participants were asked to randomly pick up the chits.Subjects has to follow the same order of the test from in order to avoid learning bias. They were assessed forpush-up test and squat test for strength before and after the training. And a four weeks training protocol wastaken to assess the upper and lower limb strength respectively.Result:- There is a positive increase in the strength of the muscle which was checked using the push-up andsquat test for upper limb and lower limb respectively. With increase in the counts of push-up test (o.ooo)pre and post training session and with the squat training (p>0.05) pre and post training session, there is asubsequent positive increase in the strength gain of an healthy individual.Conclusion:- There is significant change in the muscle strength after four week of elastic training protocolof healthy adult individuals.

Knee joint stability is important for postural stability.Abnormal weight distribution is common in individualswith unilateral osteoarthritis of knee (OA knee) as compensatory mechanism for pain and joint malalignments.Various forms of conventional physiotherapy interventions have been used to prevent further degenerativeprocess. Star excursion balance test (SEBT) has been invented to assess dynamic postural stability. Thispresent study was aimed to investigate effects of SEBT as a postural control exercise training tool(SEBTx)in persons with unilateral OA knee. Fourteen participants were randomly assigned to control group (n = 7)and SEBTx group (n = 7). The control group received weekly routine physiotherapy interventions (jointmobilization, ultrasound therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and taping). In addition tothe routine interventions, the SEBTxgroup was instructed to perform SEBTxfor 30 min/session, 3 sessions/week, for 4 weeks. Primary outcome (weight distributionon posturography in 8 directions – anterior, Rt.anterolateral, Rt.lateral, Rt. posterolateral, posterior, Lt. posterolateral, Lt. lateral, Lt. anterolateral)wasmeasured at baseline and4 weeks post-intervention. Secondary outcomes numeric pain rating scale (NPRS)and Timed Up and Go test (TUG) were used to assess pain and dynamic balance, respectively. Resultsshowed thatweight distribution inSEBTx group significantly improved in the Lt. posterolateral and posteriordirections post-intervention. Moreover, NPRS in SEBTx group significantly reduced from 47.9±7.4 to33.3±6.0. Lastly, TUG significantly reduced from 13.5±0.9 to 11.5±0.7 s in SEBTx group. In conclusion,the SEBTx should be applied to improve postural balance in individuals with unilateral (OA knee).

Gait is one of the most important motor skill require for optimal functioning of every human being. Gaitimpairment is common in cerebral palsy leading to reduce motor ability and impaired balance. The bodyweight support system is a therapeutic intervention technique that provides task specific gait training whichhelps cerebral palsy children by facilitating walking constraints. Research on gait training using PBWSS hasbeen done in the past but none of them highlighted the importance of walking surface.Aim and Objectives:To compare the effect of PBWSS on gait function in floor versus treadmill set up.Methodology: Subjects areselected with due fulfilment of selection criteria, 30 spasticcerebral palsy children divided into two groups.Group A(n=15) was given conventional therapy for 45 minutes/day and gait training with PBWSS for 15minutes/day on treadmill for 6 days in a week for 4 weeks and group B was given conventional therapy for45 minutes/day and gait training with PBWSS for 15 minutes/day on floor for 6 days in week for 4 weeks.Cadence, stride length and GMFCS were taken as outcome measure.Results: All subjects were in the meanrange of 6.33±0.81 in group A and 6.73±0.88 in group B. Both group showed positive difference in valuesof cadence, stride length and GMFM. However, ground is more significant than treadmill.Conclusion: Thestudy concluded that a spastic CP child who has undergone intensive gait training with PBWSS on floor hasbetter beneficiary effect than PBWSS with treadmill training.
