Participants whoare not under radiation therapy have better prognosis than participants under radiation therapy","PeriodicalId":516273,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy - An International Journal","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139609861","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: Desk job workers are spending 75% of work hours in high levels of sitting and improperposture causing pain over the low back region.1 Physical exercise is recommended for reducing low back pain andit promotes a healthy lifestyle and quality of life for the workers.2Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine the effect of Interferential therapy with ergonomic changes versuscore strengthening exercises on low back pain among desk job workers.Materials and Methods: This was an Experimental study and the subjects were chosen from the KH shoe company,Ranipet. A total of (N=166) subjects participated in this study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The level ofdisability was assessed by using the Oswestry low back disability questionnaire and range of motion by modifiedSchober test and finger to floor test. The strengthening exercise was received by group B for 30 minutes and restfor 30 seconds. The entire study period was from September 2022 to July 2023.Result: This study showed clinically significant reduction of low back pain using interferential therapy. Hence, bythe conventional criteria, this difference is considered to be statistically significant P<0.0001.Conclusion: This study concluded that comparatively the interferential therapy with core strengthening exercisewas more effective than the Interferential therapy with ergonomic changes.

Background : Most athletes who participate in sports experience lateral ligament injury. Lateral ligament damageis one of the most frequent ankle ailments.The study was developed to determine the efficacy of proprioceptivetraining and conventional training in reducing pain and improving functional activity with lateral ligament injury.Purpose: To compare the efficacy of proprioceptive training and conventional training in reducing pain andimproving functional activity with lateral ligament injury.Methods : This study is an experimental study.A total of 40 subjects participated in the study based on inclusionand exclusion criteria were taken from prism health care. The subjects willing to participate were dividedinto two separate groups as Group A (20 subjects) received proprioceptive training and Group B (20 subject)received conventional training. All were assessed with Numerical pain rating scale and Foot and ankle abilitymeasures. This exercise was given for 2 weeks , a period lasting for 45 to 60 minutes 10 reps, 3sets. Pre and posttest values are calculated and tabulated. The entire process was conducted from November 2022 to March 2023.Result : According to statistical analysis Proprioceptive training is effective in reducing pain with patients withlateral ligaments injury with p value of <0.0001.Conclusion : This study finally concluded that proprioceptive training has a high impact in reducing pain withpatients with lateral ligaments injury.
