“…Kazantseva [30] obtained similar results from experiments on children using jumping exercises on an elastic support, exercises on a trampoline, on an acrobatic track and on a double minitramp. In study Kamalakannan et al jumping exercises with a skipping rope were used to correct flat feet [31]. The results our study achieved are also consistent with the data of Kazantseva [30], and Kamalakannan et al [31].…”

Background. According to the data from the World Health Organization, the condition of children's feet is unsatisfactory. An effective solution to this problem requires the development of pedagogic and health correction technologies, the basis of which should consist of the joint effort of orthopedists, coaches and the family, founded on the advice of orthopedists, therapeutic swimming and corrective gymnastics. The aim of this research is to study the effectiveness of the technology of orthopedist-coach-parent joint activity in correcting foot problems in children between the ages of 11 and 12. Material and methods. The condition of the locomotor system in children was assessed using the plantographic method. In order to correct foot disorders, a program was developed whose effectiveness was studied in a scientific pedagogical experiment. Results. As a result of the pedagogical experiment, the indicators of the first degree of flat feet of all 5 children in the experimental group were significantly reduced, and no significant improvement was recorded in the control group. Conclusions. The results of the research showed that the correction of deviations in the locomotor system is more effective if it is carried out as a result of collaboration between the orthopedist, a coach and parents, using therapeutic swimming and corrective gymnastics, as well as maintaining the orthopedic regime.

“…Hence using this method, the strength of contraction (MOS), length of hold (s), repetitions (n) and fast contractions (n) was scored for both the groups. (9) The treatment exercise regime for pelvic floor strengthening consists of instructing the patient to do repetitive contraction or squeezing of the pelvic floor muscles inward and upwards in various positions (Table 1) for group A which is progressed with the increasing weeks of treatment in which the number of contractions and repetitions were increased (Table 1) while group B received the regular physiotherapy care.…”

“…The most reliable and standard technique to evaluate the endurance of PFM is perineometer (6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Kegels exercises as described by American Gynecologist Arnold Kegel in 1948 is the most popularly used noninvasive conservative treatment method to reinforce the PFMs which is cost effective and can be performed by the patient anywhere any time after being taught and trained.…”

Introduction and Aim: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health problem with increasing prevalence linked to the alterations in the lifestyle, growing obesity rates and ageing. Women with insulin resistance (IR)/high insulin levels have worse electromyographic activity in the PFMs than women without IR/high insulin levels which prove the effect of IR/high insulin levels on PFMs. This study aimed at assessing and strengthening the pelvic floor muscles in women with diabetes and urinary incontinence. Materials and Methods: The subjects were diabetic women of age group 45-55 with urinary incontinence assigned to one of two groups namely the group A (experimental group) and the group B (control group) which consisted of 30 patients each. The strength of the pelvic floor muscle was measured by vaginal examination prior and after the treatment and a Kegels Perineometer was inserted to measure the Strength of contraction (MOS), Length of hold (s), Repetitions (n) and Fast contractions (n) for both the groups. Experimental group was advised to do pelvic floor strengthening exercises in various positions with differing durations and increasing repetitions while control group received the regular physiotherapy care. Results: The results revealed that there was significant increase in the pelvic floor strengths in both the groups but while comparing the post test results of both the groups there was a significant higher strength of contraction, length of hold, repetitions and fast contractions scores in experimental group. Conclusion: It is evident from the study that performing the pelvic floor strengthening exercises in various positions as in the experimental group exhibited more improved post test results which proved to show reduced symptoms of urinary incontinence and improved quality of life than that of the subjects in the control group.

“…However, beyond the popularity that mobile devices have achieved, due to prolonged use and poor posture of users, health-related problems have been identified [1]- [10]. The problem is now known as "Text Neck" syndrome, a term coined by American chiropractor Dr. Dean L. Fishman [1], [3], [6]- [8]. However, this syndrome is produced due to the downward inclination of the users' neck and the excessive forward bending when using mobile devices [1], [3]- [7], [10].…”

“…However, this syndrome is produced due to the downward inclination of the users' neck and the excessive forward bending when using mobile devices [1], [3]- [7], [10]. In this sense, the greater the angle of inclination, the greater the weight that falls on the neck joints, being 12 kg at an angle of 15 degrees, 18 kg at an angle of 30 degrees, 22 kg at an angle of 45 degrees, and 27 kg at an angle of 60 degrees [1], [2], [5], [6], [9], [10]. As a result, the user may experience many ailments ranging from neck pain, neck stiffness, reduced mobility, headaches, postural disturbances, rounded shoulders [1], [6], [7], [10].…”

Now-a-days, it is no surprise that mobile devices have become a very useful tool in the daily tasks of many people worldwide. This is thanks to their various features such as portability, connectivity, entertainment, work tool, etc. However, due to the bad posture that users have when using them, a syndrome called "Text Neck" is produced. This is caused by prolonged use of the devices looking down and tilting the head at different angles. The degree of inclination of the head causes a detrimental effect on the neck joints, so that the greater the degree of inclination the effect of the weight of the head on the neck increases detrimentally. However, currently mobile devices have sensors that help in monitoring the activities of users, in this sense, there is the gyroscope that allows the completion of the position and the accelerometer that tells us the amount of movement of the device. In this sense, a mobile application has been developed that by monitoring the information of the angle of inclination of the device and the time it remains in the same, allows notifying users to adopt a proper position. The aim is to reduce the number of people affected by text neck syndrome.
