High heeled shoes align the foot in planter flexion, modifying the relative orientation of the skeletal structures of ankle, metatarsal, and metatarsophalangeal joints, and alter the insertion angles of the foot and gliding joint muscles, therefore increasing the risk factor for ankle sprain. Objective: Study conducted to determine Risk Factors Causing Ankle Sprain among undergraduate female students. Methods: Cross-Sectional study was conducted among 500 female students (Between ages 18-26 years) at Sargodha Medical College and completed in 06 months (June 2019-December 2019). Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used to collect data and then entered to SPSS-25 for further statistical analysis. Result: Among 500 participants, Age 19.65±1.416 years. Mean height (m) 1.61±0.073, mean weight (kg) 57.37±10.4, Mean BMI was 22.02±3.6. Female experience ankle sprain (54%), not experienced ankle sprain (46%) Significant association found between Ankle Sprain and body mass index (BMI) as the P value was 0.014 which was <0.05. Female wearing high heel have 1.082 times greater chance of developing ankle sprain (OR 1.082). Female wearing high heel for long duration (4-6 hrs.) have 1.271 times greater chance of developing ankle sprain (OR 1.271), female wearing high heel (3-4 inches) have 1.072 times greater chance of developing ankle sprain (OR 1.072), female using Pencil heel have 1.281 times greater chance of developing ankle sprain (OR 1.281). Conclusion: Significant association found between Ankle Sprain and body mass index (BMI). Female wearing, high heel for long duration (4-6 hrs.), high heel (3-4 inches height), using Pencil heel have greater chance of developing ankle sprain.
Grip strength play an important part in measuring strength of upper limb. Certain factors influence the hand grip strength like body stance of the members during the test, position of body and different parts like elbow, lower arm, shoulder and wrist, age and gender, nutritional status, hand outline and appendage length. Objectives: Determine effects of different testing postures (standing, sitting, supine, side lying and prone) on hand grip strength. Methods: A Cross-Sectional study was carried out at Shalamar School of Allied Health Sciences Lahore. This study recruited 45 participants of both gender, age between 18 to 24 years. Hand grip strength of dominant hand is measured in different testing postures (standing, sitting, supine, side lying and prone) by using hand held dynamometer. Correlation of all variables calculated through SPSS. Result:This study showed that hand grip strength was higher in standing position (36.60±10.79) and lower in prone position (27.52±8.01).Hand grip strength in sitting and supine position in males and females showed significant difference with standing position and non significant difference with prone position while hand grip strength in prone showed non significant difference with standing, sitting and supine position and significant difference with side lying position. Conclusion: This study concludes that hand grip strength was higher in standing, sitting, and supine position respectively and lower in side lying and prone position.
To find out the effectiveness of soft tissue release of paracervical muscles on the cantho-limbal distance among young adults. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was carried out at Shalamar School of allied health sciences. A sample of 32 of reduced lateral cantho-limbal distance and neck pain was taken. A purposive sampling technique was used. Pre-test Cantho-limbal distance was measured by ABN tape in mm then technique of ischemic compression followed by stretching was applied and post-test cantho-limbal distance was a measure. Results: Results show that the cantho-limbal distance before treatment was 7.38±0.98mm and after treatment, it increases to 10.06±0.88mm. The difference between the effect of pre and post-treatment on cantho-limbal distance was statistically significant (p-value <0.001). Conclusion: This study concluded that paracervical muscles and muscles of eyes have some neuronal and myofascial attachment so that soft tissue release of paracervical muscles has a significant and beneficial effect on reduced lateral cantholimbal distance.
