Background: In older people, falls have become a major health issue. People aged 65and above are moreprone for most frequent accidents which can lead to injury related hospitalisation. Elderly people have manyserious health issues and they have several disorders affecting their body at the same time. Pilates is kind ofexercise that uses a combination of muscle that increases power, stretches muscle and also concentrate onbreathing to develop strength of the trunk muscles and restore muscle balance for physical fitness. Yoga isthe active engagement between the mind and body. Yoga focuses specifically on what is exactly happening isthe body and where the body is actually moving in space which increases both awareness and proprioception.Objective: To study the effect of Pilates on balance, cognition and core strength. To study the effect of Yogaon balance, cognition and core strength. To compare the effect of Pilates Vs. Yoga on balance, cognition andcore strength in elderly. Method: There were two groups Pilates and Yoga. 30 subjects were sequentiallydivided in both groups. The treatment was given for 3 days a week for 4 weeks. The outcome measures weretaken at the beginning and at the end of 4th week. Result: The Pilates group is having statistically significantimprovement in balance .The Yoga group is having statistically significant improvement in cognition. Thecore strength is clinically significant in Pilates group. Conclusion: This study concluded that Pilates andYoga both are equally effective in improving cognition, balance and core strength at the end of 4 weeksprotocol, yoga group showed marked increase in cognition whereas Pilates group showed marked increasein balance and core strength.

Background: Trapezitis is a commonly seen condition due to overuse and faulty posture. It leads to myofascialtrigger points and muscle spasm. It causes range of motion restriction of cervical spine, tenderness and neckpain.Aim: To evaluate the long term effect on pain and restricted range of motion following three days oftreatment involving deep transverse friction massage, ischemic compression and sham conventional groupin upper trapezitis.Methodology: A Randomized controlled trial with 66 subjects (F = 61, M = 5) complaining of uppertrapezius pain since 15 days were randomly allocated for the study into three different groups with 22subjects in each group (Group A= Deep Transverse Friction Massage, group B = Ischemic Compression andgroup C = Conventional Therapy). Pre and post treatment visual analogue scale and lateral flexion of thecervical spine to the opposite side were taken.Result and Conclusion: The results showed statistically significant improvement (p=0.0001) pre and posttreatment within the groups. But there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p >0.05). Hence all the three groups were equally effective in reducing tenderness of upper trapezius.

Background: Arthrogryposis multiplex congenital (AMC) is etiopathogenetically a heterogeneous disorderwhich is considered to be a neuromuscular syndrome present at birth. It is characterized by presence ofcontractures in more than two body areas at the prevalence rate of 1 in every 3000 to 5000 live births.Purpose: There are no reports in the literature which provides clear guidelines regarding physical therapyinterventions for children with AMC. The purpose of this case report is to document the infant’s recoverybased on the frequency and duration of physical therapy interventions during first 11 months of life.Key points of case: An infant with arthrogryposis multiplex congenital was followed from day 15 to 11months of early developmental period. Following continuous and integrated physical therapy, infant achievednormal developmental sequence with visible improvement in joint contractures. Without interveningsurgically, there is improvement in club foot of the baby. This article enlightens physiotherapeutic treatmentstrategies for child with AMC.Conclusion: Physical therapy of a child with AMC should be multi-centred, holistic and continuous.Early approach to physical therapist minimise the complications following AMC. Early physical therapyinterventions can help in prolonging the early need of surgical interventions during developmental age.

Background: Short wave diathermy acts as magic potion in many Otorhinolaryngology and head neckpathologies where either conservative therapeutic modality or surgical intervention has been undertaken.The profile of subjects who underwent short wave diathermy in a 3.5 year period is included.Materials and Methods: 101 subjects undergoing short wave diathermy in the Otorhinolaryngology andPhysiotherapy services of a tertiary care centre of Punjab were analyzed during a period of 3.5 years. Thesubjects were analyzed for their demographic profile ,gender profile and seasonal variation over 3.5 years .Results: Maximum patients 55.44%(56 patients) underwent shortwave diathermy were in the middleage group (21-60 years). Males 52.47% (53 patients) outnumbered the females 47.52% (48 patients) whounderwent shortwave diathermy.In the age group 21-60 years, there were maximum females 57.14%(32patients) where the male patients were comparatively less i.e. 42.85% (24 patients). Most significantdifference was seen in above 60 age group where males 73.91%(17patients) outnumbered females 26.08%(6patients).Conclusion: Short wave diathermy is an effective pain therapy for inflammations of ear,nasal cavity andmaxillofacial region , it reduces the dose and duration of adjuvant oral analgesics.

Background: Physical fitness is the ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor and alertness without unduefatigue and ample energy to enjoy leisure time pursuits and meet unforeseen emergencies.1A number ofmeasurable components contributes to physical fitness. The most frequently cited components are healthand skills related that pertain to athletic ability. The health-related components of physical fitness are (a)cardio-respiratory endurance, (b) muscular endurance, (c) muscular strength, (d) body composition, and (e)flexibility.2.Physiotherapists work with people of all ages to bring about improvements in their health and independence.Physiotherapists provide exercise prescriptions to help people keep fit and achieve/maintain a healthy weightLiterature has indeed suggested that Physiotherapists are particularly susceptible to WRMDs (Work RelatedMusculoskeletal Disorders) because of the nature of their profession which is often repetitive, labor intensiveand involving direct contact with patients. Physiotherapist helps people to be physically fit but are theythemselves physically fit? Through this research we are trying to investigate level of physical fitness inphysiotherapists using various health related physical fitness tests.Method: 44 Physiotherapists participated in the study. The data was gathered at MGM School ofPhysiotherapy, MGM College of Physiotherapy and includes post graduate students, academicians andclinical therapist ranging between the age group of 22-40years. The subjects with any higher functiondeficits, musculoskeletal impairment, traumatic injuries, vascular impairments, and systemic inflammatorydisorders were excluded from the study.The participants were provided oral and written overview of study. Each participant signed an informedconsent form prior to participation in study. The total time taken to complete tests by the subject wasmaximum 15 minutes.Conclusion: This study reported reduced level of health related physical fitness among Physiotherapists.

Aim: Foot being the most distal segment represents a relatively small Base of Support (BOS) on which theentire body maintains balance. Postural control is not a fully automatic process, requires a certain level ofattention to maintain balance. A minor biomechanical alteration can disrupt the process. Hence the currentstudy aims to assess the static and dynamic balance of contemporary dancers with altered foot posture.Methodology: Altered foot posture was assessed using the Navicular drop test following that the staticbalance (using the flamingo balance test) and dynamic balance (using star excursion balance test (SEBT))were assessed in 30 contemporary dancers.Results: Out of 30 dancers (21 had pronated foot, 8 had neutral and 1 with supinated foot). Strong correlationwas found between the foot posture and the static balance (r=0.753; right foot and r=0.702; left foot). SEBTshowed that balance was affected in certain directions which were different for the dancers with differentfoot alterations. Supinated foot showed affection in anterior and antero-medial directions and pronated footshowed alterations in posterior, postero-lateral and lateral directions.Conclusion: Overall the study showed that contemporary dancers are affected most with the pronated footproposing higher risk of injuries in future and the overall reach distance was affected in supinated footcompared to neutral foot and pronated foot.

Introduction: Technology has played a crucial role in transforming the lives of an individual. The use oftechnology has increased steeply among students. With an abrupt increase in the computer users in a periodof two decades, the musculoskeletal discomfort has risen sharply.Methods: The present study was observational one comprising 107 students in the age group of 20-35years. After taking informed consent, a self structured questionnaire along with Neck disability index andthe disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand scale were used to conduct the study. The data was analyzed usingMicrosoft excel 2007 percentile and coefficient of correlation with significant value p<0.05.Result: The prevalence of neck and upper extremity discomfort was 89.71% among the computer users.Out of this 88.78% subjects complained shoulder discomfort, 14.95% had elbow discomfort and 28.97%had hand/wrist discomfort. Statistically there was no significant relationship of neck disability with hours ofworking per day (r = 0.01, p = 0.89), hours of work last week on typical day (r = -0.08, p = 0.35) and breaktime (r = 0.14, p = 0.13). A statistically non significant relationship was observed for DASH with hours ofworking per day (r = 0.03, p = 0.69), hours of work last week on typical day (r = -0.11, p = 0.25) and breaktime (r =-0.07, p = 0.42).Conclusion: Prevalence of shoulder discomfort was seen more than elbow and hand/wrist among students.
技术在改变个人生活方面发挥了至关重要的作用。在学生中，技术的使用急剧增加。近二十年来，随着计算机使用者的急剧增加，肌肉骨骼不适也急剧增加。方法:采用观察性研究方法，选取年龄在20 ~ 35岁之间的107名大学生。在知情同意后，采用自构问卷、颈部残疾指数、手臂、肩部和手部残疾量表进行研究。数据采用microsoft excel 2007进行百分位数分析，相关系数均有显著性p<0.05。结果:计算机使用者中颈部及上肢不适的发生率为89.71%。在这88.78%的受试者中，有肩部不适，14.95%有肘部不适，28.97%有手/手腕不适。颈部残疾与每天工作时间(r = 0.01, p = 0.89)、上周典型工作日工作时间(r = -0.08, p = 0.35)和休息时间(r = 0.14, p = 0.13)无统计学意义相关。DASH与每天工作时间(r = 0.03, p = 0.69)、上周典型工作日工作时间(r = -0.11, p = 0.25)和休息时间(r =-0.07, p = 0.42)之间的关系在统计学上不显著。结论:学生肩部不适的发生率高于肘部和手/腕部。
