Objectives:To compare the effect of gluteal muscle strengthening along with conventional exercises versus conventional exercises alone on flat foot.Method: An experimental study conducted at Physiotherapy Department of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Karad. A total of 52 subjects were equally divided into two groups using convenient sampling with random allocation (Groups A and B). Baseline treatment was given to both groups (intrinsic muscle strengthening). Group A was given intrinsic muscle strengthening alone while Group B was given gluteal muscle strengthening along with intrinsic muscle strengthening.Result: Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-test and unpaired t-test. In pre-intervention there was no statistically significant difference seen with p values for the navicular drop was 0.3563 and for Ink test was 0.7342. While on comparing the post-interventional values, the results between the two groups using paired t-test revealed that there was extremely significant difference seen with p-value for the navicular drop was <0.0001 and for Ink test was <0.0001. Conclusion:From the study, it can be concluded that there was a significant effect of gluteal muscle strengthening on the flat foot.

Objective: To compare the effects of isometric (stability) and isotonic training on core muscle in patients with non-specific low back pain on pain, endurance, and functional disability.Methods: Forty participants of both genders aged between 20 and 35 years suffering from non-specific low back pain were taken and equally divided into two groups: Group A isometric exercise and Group B isotonic exercise, both the group received baseline treatment of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and hot moist pack. Outcomes measure visual analog scale, endurance test, and modified Oswestry disability index were used the pre-treatment and at the end of 4 weeks.
