The smartphone supersedes the capability of the cellular phone, as it offers the user internet access, in addition to various applications for social, finical, entertainment, and healthcare needs. So, the aim of the study prevalence of the musculoskeletal disorder in people using smartphones ranging from the age group of 18 to 30 years. Objective: To find out musculoskeletal disorders occurring due to smartphone use. A total of 500 participates were screened according to the inclusion criteria all the participants were assessed for pain using the visual analogue scale in who use a smartphone. In the age group 18-30 years, 3 groups were made. The first group was between 18-21 years, the second group was 22-25 years, and the third group 26-30 years respectively. 18-21 years age group had 169 affected respondents. Area A represents the index, middle and lateral half of the ring finger. Area B represents the medial half of the ringer finger and little finger, Area C represents Thumb, Area D represents the central palmar aspect, Area E represents the Thenar eminence and Area F represents the Hypothenar region of the hand. The present study shows that the overall prevalence of the musculoskeletal disorder in smartphone users is 68%. Males are more affected than females. In this study neck and thumb were more affected regions compared to other parts of the body, secondary to the neck and thumb, the wrist is the affected region. Long-time use of smartphones leads to the repeated strain injury of the wrist and thumb, long time flexion of the neck during smartphone use leads to neck pain.
COVID-19 outbreak has proven itself as a causative factor of global concern and got declared as global health emergency on 30 January 2020 by WHO resulting in lockdown as a preventive measure by the Government. Due to which there is a massive effect of this COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on the mental and physical health of the population. So we conducted the study to learn about the changes of mental and physical health in the students. A self-administrated questionnaire was prepared; consists of questions pertaining to Personal information related to mental and physical health during COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. A pilot study was done on ten students for validity and reliability for a self-administrative questionnaire. This study was done on 201 college students of MGM Campus Aurangabad. After collecting the data, results were obtained giving the percentage of the population being affected mentally and physically with 67% of mental health was affected by 80% of the student population and 41% of physical health is affected by 80% of the student population. We concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic had a mild stressful impact in the present study, even though the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing.
Background: Children with Down Syndrome have delayed motor development and coordination due to which they have poor balance. Balance is the condition in which all the forces acting on body are balanced such that the center of mass (COM) is within the stability limits, the boundaries of base of support (BOS). Several scales are available for assessing balance. However, standardized and reliable scales have been chosen to prevent the error while testing. Many studies have been conducted showing that sensory integration therapy improves balance. However, there is paucity of study on Rotational Vestibular Stimulation in improving balance.Objectives: To study whether the rotational vestibular stimulation will improve balance and gravitational insecurity in children with down syndrome.To study the differences in pre-treatment and post-treatment parameters after rotational vestibular stimulation using outcome measures.Methods: Balance will be assessed prior to treatment and after the treatment. The measures used for assessing will be Pediatric Balance Scale, Bruininks-Oseretsky Test, Movement Assessment Battery for Children.Results: Once the study is completed, the parameters of outcome measures will be statisticallyanalyzed. Conclusion:Based on previous researches,it may be predicted that there will be significant improvement in balance in children with Down syndrome.
Cervical radiculopathy (CR) is the second most common problem in field of physiotherapy. The main aim of this case report is to determine the effect of oscillatory Mobilisation and Mckenzie retraction exercises in cervical radiculopathy. A case study was conducted at Musculoskeletal Department of MGM Physiotherapy Aurangabad. We approached patient treatment from multiple aspects which mainly include oscillatory mobilisation and McKenzie retraction exercises. We evaluated our outcome variables using numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), cervical range of motion and scapular muscle strength. We found that oscillatory mobilization associated to Mckenzie retraction exercises significantly decrease pain and improve cervical mobility and scapular muscle strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
