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.

Background: Exercise or physical exercise is suggested for subjects with arthritic knee to improve their pain andfunctional condition. These therapies, whose success is dependent on a few components, are commonly ignored.Therefore, the proper intensity or load needs to be specified. Depending on the therapy aim exercise intensitymight be high or low.Purpose: This study aims to modulate the patient’s pain and the secondary outcome was to improve functionalityby evaluating high-impact exercise training with low-impact exercise training in subjects with symptomatic kneeOA.Materials and Methods: Subjects with OA Knee were selected based on selection criteria. All subjects were assignedto either of the groups; high-impact exercise and low-impact exercise by odd even randomization method. Thepre-test values for pain and functional outcome are taken using NPRS and WOMAC questionnaire and the samewere recorded for post-test after 8 weeks of intervention. The entire process was performed from November 2022to March 2023.Result: The statistical analysis reveals a lowering in the pain intensity and notable enhancement in functionalityon high-impact exercise training when compared with low-impact exercise training in subjects with arthritic knee.Conclusion: The study’s findings indicate that high-impact exercise training affects subjects with knee osteoarthritisby decreasing pain and improving function.

The entire process was performed from November 2022to March 2023.Result: The statistical analysis reveals a lowering in the pain intensity and notable enhancement in functionalityon high-impact exercise training when compared with low-impact exercise training in subjects with arthritic knee.Conclusion: The study’s findings indicate that high-impact exercise training affects subjects with knee osteoarthritisby decreasing pain and improving function.","PeriodicalId":516273,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy - An International Journal","volume":"6 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139609773","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}

Background: According to 2012 data, the prevalence rate of OA in both rural and urban India was ranging from33% to 46% of the older adult population where females were more affected than men. Participants with knee OAfrequently need to perform strengthening exercises since they have weaker muscles due to decreased physicalactivity and pain tolerance.Purpose: The Purpose of the study is to find out the efficacy of Muscle energy technique and strengthening exercisein pain management to improve ROM in knee osteoarthritis.Materials and methods: This study included a sample of 196 between the age group of 45- 60 years were takenfrom Shri Shakthi’s centre for pain relief and rehabilitation according to selection criteria for this experimentalstudy which was divided into two groups, strengthening exercise group (n=98) and muscle energy techniquegroup (n=98) . Interventions were given as 5 sessions a week and continued for 2 weeks.Study period: March 2023 to July 2023.Result: The Pre-test and post-test values were analysed, pain score was decreased and functional outcome wasimproved significantly in strengthening exercise groups when compared to muscle energy technique.Conclusion: The study shows that strengthening exercise for osteoarthritis of the knee in older adults is moreeffective than muscle energy technique.

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.
