Background: Sciatic nerve irritation caused by the piriformis muscle ,which results in Buttock pain, sciatica, or bothis known as piriformis syndrome. The prevalence of PS with sciatic nerve piercing is 17% and 81% respectively,while it was present in 17.2% suffering from low back discomfort.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find the effectiveness of interferential therapy with hip muscle strengtheningexercises and ultrasound therapy with hip muscle strengthening exercises for piriformis syndrome.Materials and Methods: About 220 participants were selected by using FAIR test and visual analogue scale oninclusion and exclusion criteria. Written informed consent was collected before the commencement of the study. The220 participants were allocated into 2 groups. Interferential therapy group (n=110) and ultrasound therapy group(n=110). Interferential therapy group were given interferential therapy with hip muscle strengthening exercisesand the ultrasound therapy group were given ultrasound therapy with hip muscle strengthening exercises. Theintervention was given 5 times a week for a total duration of 2 weeks. Study Period: October 2022-June 2023.Results: The collected data was statistically analyzed using paired and unpaired t test, when comparing theInterferential therapy group to the ultrasound therapy, the Interferential therapy group indicates significanteffects P<0.0001 in piriformis syndrome, as assessed by VAS.Conclusion: This study concluded that the Interferential therapy group was found to be more effective than theultrasound therapy group in patients with Piriformis Syndrome.

Background: MMA is an intermittent sport with short, intense phases of activity repeated for 3-5 rounds of 5minutes each, separated by 1-minute breaks. This complexity demands diverse physical skills (power, strength,speed, endurance) and metabolic processes (anaerobic, aerobic) in practice and competition.Purpose: To determine the impact of a sports-specific strength and conditioning (S&C) training regimen on MMAcompetitors’ performance.Materials and Methods: A total of 30 MMA athletes were selected. 1RM strength test, medicine ball throw andvertical jump test were used as outcome measures.30 players were divided into two groups. Sports Specific S&Cprotocol (S&C group) and general strength training (conventional group) for a period of 8 weeks.Results: Post mean and standard deviation of 1RM (bench press, squat), Medicine Ball throw and vertical jumptest of S&C and conventional group were 108.3 ± 3.68, 99.93 ± 5.22, 11.80 ± 0.41, 46.27 ± 2.22 and 99.87 ± 2.77 , 93.0± 4.71, 10.1 ± 0.78, 42.87 ± 3.34 respectively.

Background: In order to perform an activity that requires an upright posture, balance is a complex process that involves receiving and integrating the sensory inputs as well as planning and carrying out movements. Falls are frequent among elderly people. An example of home based aerobic activity is multidirectional stepping training.Purpose: To find out the effectiveness of multidirectional stepping training on balance among geriatric population.Materials and Methods: From November 2022 to April 2023, 200 participants were recruited from the Sai Chai Physio Centre, with only 82 participants selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.The subjects were separated into two groups: Group A (n=41) and Group B (n=41).Group A received multidirectional stepping training, whereas Group B received conventional exercise.Both the interventions were given for four weeks, three times a week for 40 minutes.Results: The findings indicated that both the groups showed statistically significant improvement after the interventions in scores of fall efficacy scale and Balance outcome measure for elderly rehabilitation(p<0.005). Multidirectional stepping training showed statistically significant improvement in both the measures.Conclusion: When compared to conventional exercise, multidirectional stepping training is more effective at improving balance.

Background: The sacroiliac (SI) joint has been found to be a source of discomfort for 25 to 35% of people sufferingfrom persistent low back pain. Though the Gluteus Maximus and Hamstring muscles play a vital role in sit-tostandactivity in normal people, its role in individuals with sacroiliac joint dysfunction is yet to be studied.Purpose: To assess the association between Gluteus Maximus activity and Hamstring muscle length and determinethe efficacy of Gluteus Maximus activation exercise and Hamstring muscle eccentric training on improving sit-tostandactivity in people with SI Joint dysfunction.Materials and Methods: In the first phase of the study, Hamstring muscle length, Gluteus maximus muscleactivity, Pain during sit-to-stand activity was recorded. All thirty participants in the second phase of the studyunderwent six weeks of Hamstring muscle eccentric exercise and Gluteus Maximus muscle activation exercise.Results: A Pearson correlation test shows a positive correlation (r = 0.208) but the weaker relationship between thevariables. Paired t test analysis shows a significant improvement after the treatment in terms of Gluteus Maximusmuscle activity, Hamstring muscle length and pain reduction with a P value < 0.001.Conclusion: This study concluded that Gluteus Maximus activation exercise and Hamstring muscle eccentrictraining will significantly improve sit to stand activity and reduce pain.

Background: Cyclic mastalgia is described as pain occurring in the breast that begins before menstruation andsubsides with the onset of the menstrual cycle. Studies indicate the usage of yoga, LASER and various otherpharmacological methods for treating cyclic mastalgia. There is inadequate literature to report the effect ofexercises on cyclic mastalgia.Purpose: To compare the effect of structured exercise program and aerobic exercise on reducing pain in femaleswith cyclic mastalgia.Materials and Methods: In phase 1, the prevalence of cyclic mastalgia was analyzed using premenstrual syndromescale from a private institute. In phase 2, a total of 52 subjects were selected from phase 1 based on the inclusionand exclusion criteria and were divided randomly into two groups, where group A (n = 26) received structuredexercises and group B (n = 26) received aerobic exercises, along with breast massage and advice on usage ofproperly fitting brassiere for both the groups. NPRS and Cardiff breast pain charts were used as outcome measures.Results: In phase 1, percentage calculation was used to determine the prevalence. In phase 2, t test analysis andnon-parametric tests were used for post intervention analysis. Both groups have shown a significant reduction inseverity and duration of breast pain, but the difference was higher in group A.Conclusion: In phase 1, the prevalence of cyclic mastalgia was 69%. In phase 2, structured exercise protocol wasmore effective in reducing pain in females with cyclic mastalgia when compared with aerobic exercise.
背景：周期性乳痛症是指乳房在月经前开始疼痛，并随着月经周期的开始而减轻。研究表明，瑜伽、激光和其他各种药物方法可用于治疗周期性乳痛症。目的：比较结构化运动计划和有氧运动对减轻周期性乳痛症女性疼痛的效果：在第一阶段，使用一家私立研究所的经前期综合征量表分析了周期性乳痛症的患病率。在第二阶段，根据纳入和排除标准从第一阶段中选出 52 名受试者，随机分为两组，A 组（26 人）接受结构性锻炼，B 组（26 人）接受有氧锻炼，两组受试者均接受乳房按摩和正确佩戴胸罩的建议。采用 NPRS 和卡迪夫乳房疼痛图表作为结果测量指标：结果：第一阶段采用百分比计算确定患病率。第二阶段采用 t 检验分析和非参数检验进行干预后分析。两组患者乳房疼痛的严重程度和持续时间都明显减少，但 A 组的差异更大：结论：在第一阶段，周期性乳痛症的发病率为 69%。结论：在第 1 阶段，周期性乳房疼痛的发病率为 69%；在第 2 阶段，与有氧运动相比，结构化运动方案能更有效地减轻周期性乳房疼痛女性的疼痛。
