Background: In mothers with Cerebral Palsy children,higher prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders are seen due torepetitive bending, lifting, and twisting activity while taking care of the child.Reduced core muscle strength especiallyof Transverse Abdominis&Multifidusmuscle will lead to increase in low back pain and disability in this population. Hence, the purpose of this study was to find out the effect of Core Stability exercises on low Back pain and disability in mothers of Cerebral Palsy Children. Method: Thirty mothers with chronic low back pain who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Core muscle strength was assessed using pressure Bio-Feedback, pain was measured using Visual Analogue Scale and Disability was measured using Owestry Disability Index. Core stability exercises were given for 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Result: The result showedthat there was significant improvement in Core muscle strength, and reduction in pain and disability in patients with Chronic Low Back pain. Conclusion: The study concluded that there was significant improvement in the abdominal muscle strength, low back pain score and disability score post core stability exercises in mothers of cerebral palsy children having low back pain.

Exercise is generally a healthy behavior that promotes fitness and well being. However, some physicallyactive individuals become addicted to physical fitness and involved in excessive compulsive exercise.The present study aimed to assess the Prevalence of compulsive exercise among physically active adults.Purposive sampling was done to collect a sample size of 223 physically active adults within the age groupof 18-29 years from West Delhi and Faridabad. Individuals who were doing physical activity more thanan hour with no chronic diseases were included as participants. Exercise bulimia was measured by usingstandardized tool that was compulsive exercise test (CET). Statistical analysis was done by using SPSS 21version. Samples of 223 subjects were assessed. Out of which 31% of subjects were from Faridabad (N=70)and 69% of subjects were from East Delhi (N=153). The results revealed that on the basis of CET scoring44.3% of subjects were having mild exercise bulimia whereas 55.7% of subjects were having exercisebulimia. The study concluded that maximum number of subjects was suffering from exercise bulimia, whichis an alarming situation for the young generation.

Idiopathic scoliosis is a complex abnormal lateral curvature of the spine more than 10°, with no evidence ofunderlying physical or radiographic pathology. A normally aligned spine is stable platform for performingstatic and dynamic activities of life with appropriate recruitment of spinal muscles. Stability and alignment ofvertebrae in spatial planes will influence selection of biomechanical strategies for functional movements andactivities of daily living. There are different classifications and schools of scoliosis specific physiotherapylike Side shift, Dobomed and BSPTS, SEAS. There is a need to understand different classifications used indifferent approaches. This review article is intended to provide overview of different classification systemsto physiotherapists so that they can integrate with the views of surgeon in relation to spinal surgery, interactand work with orthotists in brace design and to plan corrective program for prevention of further progressionor maintenance or correction of scoliosis.

Introduction: Stroke is a massive public health problem, being the third most common cause of death in the developed world and the leading cause of adult disability. Stroke and associated functional, impairments affect capacity to work, many survivors have to leave their jobs, which may result in breakdown of social network. The objective of the study was to find the relationship between functional impairment and social network among adult stroke survivors. Methodology: 20 adult stroke survivors (15 males and 5 females) were included for the study according to the inclusion criteria. Barthel Index Scale was used for assess functional impairment and Fillenbaum questionnaire was used to assess social network. Result: Out of 20 stroke survivors 12 (60%) had haemorrhagic stroke and 8 (40%) had ischemic stroke . The mean age of the subjects was 54.50±8.90. The mean duration of the stroke was 8.35±5.63 months. Pearson correlation test was used to check the relationship between functional impairment and social network. The result showed that functional impairment had a weak correlation with social network (r = 0.34) which was however not statistically significant (p = 0.15). Conclusion: Better functional independence was associated with good social network.

Obesity in adolescent is a world- wide epidemic in developing as well as developed countries. Obesity has a overall effect on various body systems and can lead to atherosclerosis, hypertension, stroke, cancers, hormonal changes, degenerative joint changes, respiratory diseases,it is also associated with various functional problems like pain, joint stiffeness(lower extremities), affected muscle strength and postural deformities.It also has an effect on postural stability, that is the ability to maintain the COG within the BOS. Aim and objective of the study - To compare the postural stability of sports playing versus non-sports playing adolescent with BMI > 23rd adult equivalent(BMI > 85 th percentile) using Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) scale. Study Design - 21 subjects each in sports playing and non sports playing in the age group 12-15 years and with BMI >85 th percentile were evaluated for their balance using the BESS score. Results and analysis – Data analysis was done using Graphpad instat demo version. Unpaired ‘t’ test was done to analyse the data. The analysis showed significant difference between the BESS score of sports playing and non sports playing individuals . Mean and SD of sports playing individuals was 8.52 (+_2.83) . The Mean and SD of Non sports playing individuals was 14.85 ( +_4.041). The mean difference +_ SEM was 6.33 +_1.078.The t value was 5.877. Conclusion - Overweight and obese adolescent who play Regular sports that is for more than 6 week , 3 times a week and for 1 hour , show a significantly better postural stability in the BESS scale with a lower value as compared to those obese and overweight individuals who are not indulged in any sports activity on regular basis, showing a increased score on BESS scale .

Background: The campus life is identified as very stressful period for so many students because of hugedifference in education system as they have to pass through new academic and social environment. WHO hasprojected that stress disorder will be ranked as second most disabling disorders, except appropriate measuresare taken for early diagnosis. This study was conducted to measure level of stress among undergraduatephysiotherapy students using Student stress inventory (SSI). To help the students to avoid stress from thebeginning and to provide them with suitable mental health care and the efficient method to cope with stressTherefore, the aim of this study is to assess the level of stress among the undergraduate Physiotherapystudent at university.Method: Cross-sectional analysis of 905 physiotherapy students of age ranged from 18-23 years was done.Informed consent was taken at the starting of the study and assessment of level of stress was done usingStudent Stress Inventory (SSI). Collected data was entered in SPSS and analysed using the same software.Results: Data was analysed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient which indicate a positive correlationbetween academic and environmental factors with the level of stress among students. Result of this studyindicate mild to moderate level of stress among university students. Out of all item high parental expectation,worry about examination, delivering the class presentations, constant fatigue, headache were commoncomplains of studentsConclusion: The undergraduate physiotherapy students of University experienced mild to moderate levelof stress, out of all components environmental and academic factors were responsible for producing morestress among students of the all years.

Aims: To determine the correlation between cognitive and academic levels in anxious overweight/obese adolescents. Methods: The Spence Child Anxiety Scale (SCAS) was used to check the level of anxiety on 98 overweight/ obese adolescents aged 12-16 years. After meeting inclusion criteria participants were evaluated by Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) for level of cognition and Academic Performance Rating Scale (APRS) for academic performance. Results: 5.10% of obese/overweight adolescents had moderate cognition, and 13.27% mild cognition. No significant association was seen in BMI and anxiety with cognition and academic performance, however, a positive correlation was seen between cognition and academic performance (p<0.05). Conclusion: Anxiety rates in overweight/obese adolescents are not directly proportional to levels of cognition and academic performance. However, age rise has a correlation with BMI rise and level of anxiety. The research showed that cognition levels are associated with academic performance.
