Background: Knee osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, causes pain and stiffness in the knee joint, especially in obese people. Obesity is a significant risk factor for knee osteoarthritis. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of obesity and overweight in post-menopausal women secondary to knee osteoarthritis. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from January to August 2022. A sample of 223 participants was collected from Aziz Bhatti Shaheed hospital Gujrat, tertiary headquarters hospital Lalamusa & Kharian and National orthopedics hospital Gujrat. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used to recruit women categorized according to the set criteria of body mass index and waist-to-hip circumference ratio. Anthropometric measurements were taken by using a weight machine and measuring tape. Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 24. For descriptive analysis, mean and standard deviations were calculated for quantitative variables whereas frequency and percentages were used for qualitative variables. Results: Results indicate that out of 223 individuals 52% of participants were overweight, 20.2% participants were obese and 27.8 % participants were of normal weight. The mean age of the participants was 64.2±7.66. Age group and family history of knee osteoarthritis are highly associated with the body mass index of the participants (p<0.001). Family history of knee osteoarthritis and waist-to-hip circumference ratio were significantly associated with each other (p<0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence of overweight women is high and the calculated prevalence of obesity in people with knee osteoarthritis is relatively low. These findings are related to the age group and family history of the condition. Thus, obesity and being overweight are major contributors to knee osteoarthritis.
背景:膝关节骨关节炎是一种退行性关节疾病，引起膝关节疼痛和僵硬，尤其是肥胖人群。肥胖是膝骨关节炎的重要危险因素。目的:评估绝经后妇女继发膝骨关节炎中肥胖和超重的患病率。方法:描述性横断面研究于2022年1月至8月进行。从古吉拉特Aziz Bhatti Shaheed医院、三级总部医院Lalamusa & Kharian和古吉拉特国立骨科医院收集了223名参与者的样本。采用非概率方便抽样技术，按照设定的体重指数和腰臀比标准对女性进行分类。人体测量是使用称重机和卷尺进行的。数据采用SPSS version 24进行分析。对于描述性分析，定量变量计算平均值和标准差，而定性变量使用频率和百分比。结果:223名参与者中，52%的人超重，20.2%的人肥胖，27.8%的人体重正常。参与者平均年龄为64.2±7.66岁。年龄和膝盖骨关节炎家族史与参与者的体重指数高度相关(p<0.001)。膝骨关节炎家族史与腰臀围比有显著相关性(p<0.001)。结论:超重妇女患病率高，膝骨关节炎患者的肥胖计算患病率相对较低。这些发现与该疾病的年龄组和家族史有关。因此，肥胖和超重是导致膝骨关节炎的主要原因。

Background: Pain in the medial side of elbow in taxi drivers is a work-related problem that normally comprises repetitive movement and occurs commonly in wrist flexion with pronation of the forearm. Objective: To determine the prevalence of medial elbow pain in taxi drivers in Lahore. Methods: This cross-sectional study comprised of 268 taxi drivers from Lahore. Questionnaires were given to taxi drivers who were recruited through convenient sampling. Consent forms, both in Urdu and English were explained before data collection. Professional participants who had taxi driving as an occupation and who were working for two years were involved in this study. To fulfill the criteria of a sample size that was 268 the record of taxi drivers was also gathered from the e-record of Uber and Careem, Lahore. Taxi drivers of age 20 to 55 years, both gender and those who had working hours of 5 to 8 or more hours were included in this study. Drivers who had any recent traumatic injury or had been in a recent road traffic accident, undergone surgery were excluded from this study. The visual analogue scale was used as an outcome measuring tool to assess the medial elbow pain in taxi drivers. The taxi drivers were asked to fill out questionnaires, which consisted of questions focusing on pain, daily activities, difficulties in function and personal care. Data was analyzed by SPSS version 23, qualitative data was presented as frequency and percentages. Results: The prevalence of medial pain elbow pain came out to be 38.8% (103 participants), 30 (11.2%) were having mild pain, 64 (23.9%) moderate, 9 (3.4%) severe while 165 (61.5%) were free from medial elbow pain. Conclusion: This study showed that the prevalence of medial elbow pain in professional taxi drivers was 38.4% and affected the activities of daily living of drivers. Most drivers reported the pain within mild to moderate range. Pain in the medial aspect of the elbow can arise in taxi drivers due to the nature of their work and factors such as long working hours, prolonged sitting, whole body vibration and poor ergonomic design of taxi.

Background: After an acute stroke, many patients face difficulty while performing activities of daily living. Supported standing is used for the early mobilization of patients with stroke. The use of functional electrical stimulation is an adjunct component of rehabilitation to augment the strength of lower limbs resulting in better trunk control during functional mobility. Combined effects of electrical stimulation with early weight-bearing exercises can be an effective treatment as compared to typical conventional post-stroke rehabilitation. Objective: To evaluate the conjunct effects of supported standing and functional electrical stimulation on strength and functional mobility in acute stroke. Methods: A single-blinded randomized clinical trial was conducted from March to September 2021. Participants aged between 30 to 65 years, both gender, after fulfilling the inclusion criteria were allocated randomly into two groups (32 patients per group). The conventional therapy included positioning, ROM exercises and bed mobility exercises along with supporting standing on tilt tables initially and later on standing frames and walkers for 30 minutes/day five times per week, for almost six weeks while the experimental group received functional electrical stimulation in standing position on the tilt table in addition to conventional therapy. The trial was registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials and was approved by the ethics committee of Riphah International University. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 24 and for descriptive analysis, mean and standard deviation were used for numerical continuous variables while categorical variables were presented by frequencies, percentages and median (IQR). Independent sample t-test was applied for the comparison between both groups in quantitative variables, whereas the chi-square test and Fisher Exact test were used for qualitative variables at baseline (Table I). Non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank test was applied to assess the average difference between and within group comparison. Results: The findings showed that the score of all scales were statistically significant for both within and between the groups (p-value<0.001). Conclusion: It was concluded that supported standing technique along with functional electrical stimulation and conventional physical therapy was found to be more effective in improving functional mobility, balance and strength among acute stroke patients rather than standard physical therapy alone.

Medicinal plants have been used for centuries to treat trauma, infection, sickness, and injury as these are affordable, easy to access and have fewer side effects than commercial pharmaceuticals. Recent research has shown that several medicinal plants can treat wounds using in vivo and in vitro pre-clinical models of wound recovery. Furthermore, the mechanisms by which these medicinal plants enhance wound therapy have also been revealed. Medicinal herbs have been shown in research to have the ability to have an antioxidant effect, to promote angiogenesis, to activate NF-B, to favor specific pro-inflammatory cytokines, to boost the appearance of iNOS and α-1 type-1 collagen, and to favor certain pro-inflammatory cytokines. All these effects can be brought about by medicinal herbs. Considering this, throughout this evaluation, an effort was made to provide a glimpse into freshly discovered medicinal plants that have wound recovery mechanisms and may be effective in the treatment and the invention of new wound-healing pharmaceuticals. Herbal medicines involve disinfection, debridement, and creating a healing environment. The purpose of the study was to review and gather the evidence related to the use of medicinal plants in wound healing. The use of herbal remedies is found to be both affordable and effective, mainly when used in conjunction with wound healing, bacterial activity and reducing oxidative stress in animals. During this evaluation, the cellular processes of recently discovered medicinal plants with a capacity for wound healing were brought to light. These mechanisms can potentially be helpful in therapeutic practice and the advancement of innovative medications for treating wounds. Several factors can delay the wound-healing process such as anemia, diabetes, nutritional deficiency, hematoma, local infections, etc. In the treatment of wounds, many medicinal plants and other herbal immunomodulators are considered useful. Through different pathways, these herbal ointments promote healing and regeneration of the lost tissues without producing side effects.

Background: Fall-related injuries and complications are common in the elderly population. Falls can be induced by a variety of internal or extrinsic circumstances. In Pakistan, awareness about the risk factors associated with falls in the elderly population might be a great step in saving the expenses leading to the treatment of the elderly population. Objective: To determine the factors associated with fall risk in the elderly population. Methods: After taking approval from the ethical committee of the university, this cross-sectional study based on a research survey that included subjects above 60 years of age was conducted. Local Pakistani regions like Islamabad and Rawalpindi were included in the community. Individuals with neurological deficiencies or comorbid conditions, a history of falls, fractures or any surgery were excluded from the study. A sample size of 184 older participants was recruited in this study using non-probability convenient sampling. The self-structured questionnaire was used asking the older population about their age, previous history of falls and fears concerning falls while the outcome measuring scales used were the activities-specific balance confidence scale and the Berg balance scale. Results: Out of 184, there were 108 (55.97%) men and 81 (44.02%) women. The mean age was 69.76 ±8.5, with a minimum age of 60 and a maximum age of 108. When assessed using an activities-specific balance confidence scale, surgical history, medical history, incidents due to falls, and previous episodes of fall show a significant association with a minimum score of 15.12 and a maximum score of 99.30 with a mean of 68.83±24.39. On the contrary, medical history, history of fall injuries due to falls, and p-value less than 0.05 are significant factors when assessed using the Berg balance scale with a minimum score of 9 and a maximum score of 56 with a mean of 43.57±12.3. Conclusion: Elderly Females are at greater risk of falls while physical inactivity is another factor that leads to falling. There is no link between systemic, respiratory, or cardiac history and fall risk but problems in the vestibular system concerning the inner ear which controls balance are associated with falls in the elderly population.

Background: In today’s life style, the gap between athletic activities and daily life activities is becoming wider. The daily life routine is becoming sedentary due to technology and sports activities and thus require high level of physical performance. Knee joint is the most vulnerable to rapid forces and injuries, in which meniscal injury is quite noticeable. Objective: To determine the mechanism of meniscal injury and its impact on performance in athletes after knee meniscal injury. Methods: After taking approval from ethical committee, consent was taken from the athletes prior to filling out the forms. The study was conducted on 145 male athletes in Lahore, aged between 17 to 40 years. Data was collected through international knee documentation committee subjective knee form which consisted of demographical data and questions which were divided into three sections; symptoms, sports activities and knee functions. Results: The main results regarding the mechanism of meniscal injury showed that there were 29% athletes having insidious tear, 16.6% acute noncontact, 32.4% contact with player and 22.1% non-specific mechanism of tear. The mean and standard deviation of total international knee documentation committee score was found to be 66.64±3.83, reflecting a moderately affected level of performance. Conclusion: The findings concluded that the common mechanism of meniscal injury was during contact with player or defense strategy during activity. The athletic performance level due to meniscal injury was moderately affected.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder occurring in children. Each child on the spectrum has different behaviors. Objective: To identify different types of repetitive behaviors in patients with autism spectrum disorder. Methods: This study was carried out at the Children's hospital, The Institute of Child Health Centre and Rising Sun Institute DHA Lahore, Department of Developmental Pediatrics, Lahore. Purposive sampling was used to collect data through three months’ period. It was a cross-sectional study including 32 children with autism spectrum disorder between the age of 3 and 15 years. The repetitive behavior scale was developed to identify different forms of repetitive. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 20 and data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and were presented in the form of tables. Results: Six forms of repetitive behaviors including stereotyped, self-injurious, compulsive, ritualistic, sameness and restricted behaviors and were evaluated in 32 children. Restricted behavior was most commonly present in a severe form in 17 (15.1%) children followed by sameness behavior in 15 (46.9%) children, and stereotyped behavior in 12 (37.5%) children, while compulsive behavior and ritualistic behavior were less commonly seen in 8 (25%) and 7 (21.9%) children, respectively and self-injurious behavior was seen rarely in only 3 (9.4%) children. Conclusion: Repetitive behaviors were seen in all children with autism spectrum disorder however the most prevalent forms are restricted, sameness and stereotyped behaviors. Early detection of behavioral abnormalities can aid in the early detection and treatment of autism spectrum disorder.

Background: Chronic ankle sprain is a widespread musculoskeletal injury affecting functional performance with long-term health cost effects on the quality of an athlete’s life. Manual therapy techniques performed on the ankle joint are an effective intervention that should be part of a complete treatment plan for athletes with an ankle sprain. Objective: To compare the effects of thrust manipulation with non-thrust mobilization on pain in chronic ankle sprain among athletes. Methods: It was a randomized controlled trial conducted at Pakistan Sports Board and Model Town Football Club, Lahore. A purposive sampling technique was used to collect the data as per the inclusion criteria of the participants aged between 16 to 40 years’ males. Participants were randomized into two groups; Group A received the thrust manipulation group and group B of non-thrust mobilization was given to the rear foot. Each group was given a baseline exercise protocol. The patient completed the foot & ankle ability measure scale being used as the primary outcome measure and 15 points of the Global Rating of Change scale. Using SPSS version 24, baseline characteristics were presented as mean and standard deviation. Between-group comparison using independent samples t-test was done, with a p-value≤0.05 considered significant. Results: The results regarding sociodemographic patients’ characteristics showed that the mean and standard deviation for age and body mass index were found to be 22.50±2.00 and 22.65±1.14 in the thrust manipulation group while 23.37±2.66 and 23.03±1.97 in the non-thrust mobilization group respectively with the statistical difference of p>0.005. The results regarding between-group comparison using an independent sample t-test showed a significant difference at the post-interventional level for both scales in favor of thrust manipulation (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study found that both muscle thrust manipulation and non-thrust mobilization were effective, but the method of thrust manipulation was clinically and statistically more effective in improving functional capacity in athletes with chronic ankle sprain.

Background: Diabetic nephropathy becomes a disease with a high mortality rate in this modern era of technology. Dialysis in diabetic patients affects kidney functioning is the most common treatment for end-stage renal failure but had different musculoskeletal complications due to bone mineral metabolisms like muscular cramping, atrophy and muscular weakness, restless leg syndrome and limb pain that lowers the quality of life and physical function. Objective: To evaluate the effects of low-impact strengthening exercises on limb pain, strength, glycemic control, hypertension and quality of life of patients with end-stage renal disease. Methods: The randomized controlled study was designed to check the effectiveness of low-impact strengthening exercises on patients involved in the treatment and control group. Using non-probability purposive sampling, data was collected from different hospitals in Faisalabad by providing treatment for six consecutive weeks. Outcomes of measures were pain, strength, glucose level, blood pressure and quality of life which were estimated through the numeric pain rating scale, manual muscle testing, glucometer, sphygmomanometer and kidney disease quality of life questionnaire respectively. Results: Low-impact strengthening exercises in the treatment group showed improvement in muscle strength, blood pressure, glycemic level, pain and quality of life in diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease as compared to the control group. Mean values showed that there was a statistically significant difference in different variables between both groups. Conclusion: It was concluded that there is a statistically significant difference between both groups in the improvement of limb pain and limb muscle strength by low-impact strengthening exercises. These exercises have positive effects on diabetic patients with end-stage renal disease in the treatment group as compared to the control group.
