Background: Respiratory viruses like coronavirus disease (COVID-19) spread when mucus or dropletscontaining the virus get into your body through your eyes, nose or throat. Most often, this happens throughyour hands. Hands also are one among the foremost common ways in which the virus spreads from oneperson to subsequent. During a worldwide pandemic, one among the most cost-effective, easiest, and mostvital ways to stop the spread of an epidemic is to scrub your hands frequently with soap and water1. But theremay be mild to moderate skin reactions related to hand hygiene.Objective: To find out the consequences of repeated washing of hands to protect against coronavirus(COVID-19).Methods: 106 candidates were asked by questionnaire to fill 20 different questions related to time, duration,frequency and consequences of hand wash they are feeling.Result: The result of this study supports that 56% of people who are washing their hands at least 25-100times a day are suffering from skin dryness.Conclusion: study suggests that repeated or frequent washing of hands can cause dryness and crack skin ofhands even in individuals with no history of skin diseases

The objective of this study is to quantify the effects of aerobic physical exercise program in the affective, quality of life and cognition aspects. This study included a sample of 40 participants with some physical pathology. All patients answered some questionnaires about clinical symptomatology (STAI, BDI, EUROqOL - 5D) and cognition (WAIS – IV). This battery test was performed before the intervention and after 10 weeks. The intervention was aerobic physical exercise consisting of an elliptical bicycle and walking on a static tape for a total of 45 minutes, three days a week. To evaluate the results, the statistical software IBM SPSS 23 was used. Values indicated a significant improvement in the affective and quality of life tests as well as higher scores in the cognitive tests once the physical exercise was performed. The results showed that aerobic physical activity improves cognitive qualities, affective status and perception of quality of life. The results show very positive possibilities for this field and for its more assiduous implementation as complementary therapy in some physical pathologies

Objective – To study the association between neck pain, neck disability and hand performance in text necksyndrome among college studentsMethodology – A correlation study was done on 60 college students. Subjects having history of shoulder orneck pathology, musculoskeletal disease or anomaly, history of surgery of spine, history of surgery of neckor shoulder, recent surgery, chronic medical illness were excluded. Detailed assessment form was filled bythe subjects regarding name, age, dominant hand, duration of hours spent on mobile phone, visual analogscale, etc. along with Neck disability index. Later, their hand performance was checked using Jebsen TaylorHand Function test for both non dominant and dominant hand.Result - The data was not normally distributed so Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to assess thecorrelation between neck disability index and hand function test. Results were found to be statisticallysignificant at 5% level. “r” value was calculated between NDI and all the seven tasks of JTHFT for both Nondominant and dominant hand’s function separately. With regard to hand dominance, this study revealed thatwhole population wrote faster with dominant hand as compared to non dominant hand.Conclusion - This study provides evidence that hand dominance has an important role as it can affect handfunctioning. Especially high-level fine dexterity activities can be altered with prolonged texting.

Background: For any persons to have an effective throw, it needs the maximum speed at which the ball is released, as well as precision targeting. Specific body types and throwing velocity can have a correlation which can be measured by anthropometric measurements and contrasted with the velocity thrown by individuals. This study is aimed to assess the relation between anthropometric parameters and throwing velocity. Material & Method: It is a cross-sectional study conducted among 60 undergraduate male students aged 18-25 yrs at Yenepoya Physiotherapy College. The participants were included in present study after obtaining the informed consent. The study was approved by ethics committee of Yenepoya University. The participants were included in present study after obtaining the informed consent. The study was approved by ethics committee of university. Male undergraduate students aged between 18-25 yrs were included in present study. BUSHNELL radar device was used for evaluation of throwing velocity. ISAK protocol was used to evaluate the participant’s anthropometric parameters. Result: Among baseline parameters, age shows a positive correlation, in the age group 18-25 years. Weight and BMI shows a negative correlation. There is a positive correlation between the shoulder internal and external rotation strength and throwing velocity. The skinfold thickness of biceps, triceps, forearm, subscapularis, iliac crest, abdomen, and front thigh showed a negative coreelation with p value <0.05. Conclusion: This study concludes that, with the exception of age, weight, BMI, internal and external rotator strength of the shoulder, skin fold thickness, middle thigh girth, acromio-radial length, and femoral width, none of the other anthropometric parameters had a significant relationship with the velocity of throwing among male undergraduates.

Background: Physical education students are at greater risk of low back pain due to physical activity that put a lot of stress on the lumbar spine, such as gymnastics, wrestling, rowing, diving, and football. PNF training is one of the interventions that are less investigated in the management of LBP. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether exercises using proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) scapular and pelvic patterns might decrease the pain index and increase the lumbar flexibility of female physical education students with low back pain. Subjects & Methods: A total of 40 female undergraduates with low back pain who meets the inclusion and exclusion criteria are recruited for the study. Methodology: 20 were allotted to Experimental group who received scapular and pelvic pattern of PNF along with conventional strengthening exercises and another 20 was allotted to Control group who received conventional strengthening exercises alone. Outcome Measures: Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Modified-Modified Schober Scale (MMST) and Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (ODI). Results: results showed that both the groups improved almost equally in lumbar flexion and extension ranges but the improvement was considerably significant on NPRS and Modified Oswestry Disability Index was found to be significantly effective in experimental group which was p<0.001. Conclusion: This study showed that PNF can be used to improve pain index rating and lumbar flexibility. The findings indicate that the experimental group experienced greater improvement than the control group by participating in the PNF lumbar stabilization.

BACKGROUND: The pathological changes in adhesive capsulitis occurs surrounding the intrinsic structuretightness. Movement with mobilization mostly works on intracapsular & sleeper’s stretch mainly acts oncapsule. There are some studies which supports that M.W.M. is more effective in patients with adhesivecapsulitis. At the same time, some studies have been done which proves sleeper’s stretch to be beneficialin capsular tightness. As a result, present study thought to determine the combined effects of M.W.M.&Sleeper’s Stretch on adhesive capsulitis. OBJECTIVES: To find the effects of M.W.M. on R.O.M., pain andfunctional disability in populations with adhesive capsulitis. To find the effects of M.W.M. and sleeper’sstretch on R.O.M., pain and functional disability in populations with adhesive capsulitis. To compare theeffects of M.W.M. and M.W.M. with sleeper’s stretch on R.O.M., pain and functional disability in populationswith adhesive capsulitis. METHODOLOGY: A Randomized, controlled, single blinded study, 50 patientswith adhesive capsulitis were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pre -assessment of pain,R.O.M. and disability index had been taken. The patients are randomly allocated into two groups. 25 patientsin Group ‘A’ with adhesive capsulitis was treated with M.W.M. alone where as another 25 patients in Group‘B’ with adhesive capsulitis was treated with M.W.M. plus, sleeper’s stretch. Both the groups were giventhe conventional therapy which includes hot packs, pendular exercises, finger ladder exercises and activerange of motion exercises. Post assessment was done. RESULTS: In total, 50 patients were randomized tothe study interventions. The flexion R.O.M. in pre and post mean values of Groups ‘A’ and ‘B’ are 18.41and 29.16, P value is 0.04. The internal rotation R.O.M. in pre and post mean values of Groups ‘A’ and ‘B’are 7.72 and 14.44, P value is 0.09. The external rotation R.O.M. in pre and post mean values of Groups ‘A’and ‘B’ are 13.72 and 16.85, P value is 0.39. In SPADI, Pre & Post mean values of Group ‘A’ & Group ‘B’are 16.83 and 24.41 respectively, P value is 0.28. In NPRS, Pre and post mean values of Groups ‘A’ and ‘B’are 2.72 & 2.88 respectively, P value is 0.02. CONCLUSIONS: Adding sleeper’s stretch with M.W.M. tostandard therapy for adhesive capsulitis may offer significant advantages.

Movement with mobilization mostly works on intracapsular & sleeper’s stretch mainly acts oncapsule. There are some studies which supports that M.W.M. is more effective in patients with adhesivecapsulitis. At the same time, some studies have been done which proves sleeper’s stretch to be beneficialin capsular tightness. As a result, present study thought to determine the combined effects of M.W.M.&Sleeper’s Stretch on adhesive capsulitis. OBJECTIVES: To find the effects of M.W.M. on R.O.M., pain andfunctional disability in populations with adhesive capsulitis. To find the effects of M.W.M. and sleeper’sstretch on R.O.M., pain and functional disability in populations with adhesive capsulitis. To compare theeffects of M.W.M. and M.W.M. with sleeper’s stretch on R.O.M., pain and functional disability in populationswith adhesive capsulitis. METHODOLOGY: A Randomized, controlled, single blinded study, 50 patientswith adhesive capsulitis were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pre -assessment of pain,R.O.M. and disability index had been taken. The patients are randomly allocated into two groups. 25 patientsin Group ‘A’ with adhesive capsulitis was treated with M.W.M. alone where as another 25 patients in Group‘B’ with adhesive capsulitis was treated with M.W.M. plus, sleeper’s stretch. Both the groups were giventhe conventional therapy which includes hot packs, pendular exercises, finger ladder exercises and activerange of motion exercises. Post assessment was done. RESULTS: In total, 50 patients were randomized tothe study interventions. The flexion R.O.M. in pre and post mean values of Groups ‘A’ and ‘B’ are 18.41and 29.16, P value is 0.04. The internal rotation R.O.M. in pre and post mean values of Groups ‘A’ and ‘B’are 7.72 and 14.44, P value is 0.09. The external rotation R.O.M. in pre and post mean values of Groups ‘A’and ‘B’ are 13.72 and 16.85, P value is 0.39. In SPADI, Pre & Post mean values of Group ‘A’ & Group ‘B’are 16.83 and 24.41 respectively, P value is 0.28. In NPRS, Pre and post mean values of Groups ‘A’ and ‘B’are 2.72 & 2.88 respectively, P value is 0.02. CONCLUSIONS: Adding sleeper’s stretch with M.W.M. tostandard therapy for adhesive capsulitis may offer significant advantages.","PeriodicalId":243536,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy - An International Journal","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124701695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stem cells have the ability to build every type of tissues in the human body; hence they have great potential for future therapeutic uses in tissue regeneration and repair. In order for these cells to fall under the definition of “ stem cells ”, they must display two essential characteristics. First, stem cells must have the ability of unlimited self-renewal to produce progeny exactly the same as the originating cells. Second, stem cells must have the ability to differentiate into a specialized adult cell type. Stem cells with their unique and facile potentialities, offer building blocks for organ development and tissue repair. Regenerative therapy or Stem cell therapy is aimed at ‘reviving’ existing malfunctioning cells, repopulating the organ by new cells from exogenous or endogenous sources, altering the extra-cellular matrix, or increasing blood supply by enhancing vasculogenesis. This review summarizes the current concepts in stem cell biology its application in neurological conditions and important advancements, limitations with respect to their prospective use in regeneration therapies in various human diseases.
