    Abstract: Introduction and Aim: Stress is a reaction of the body to substantial or unusual demands. It, a complex reaction of the neurologic and endocrinologic system which can initiate the ‘Fight or Flight’ response. This may lead to headache, tense muscles, insomnia. Stress can alter the memory function, immune function, metabolism, and susceptibility to the disease. The effect of stress and relationship in making teachers quite inefficient in their profession is a growing concern. The present study objective is to investigate the effective significance of exercise, relaxation, and ergonomics on physiological stress in teachers.   Materials and Methods: A total of 30 teachers, both male and female were randomly selected. They supported the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were between 30 to 60 years, separated into 2 groups. They were asked to fill necessary information in the stress profile for teachers. The subjects with moderate to high stress were taken for the study and were divided into two groups. Group ‘A’ were given aerobic stepper exercise and relaxation techniques. Group ‘B’ were given aerobic stepper exercise and suggestions given on ergonomic correction for an intervention period of about 8 weeks, 5 days per week 45 minutes per session. Pre- and post-test values were taken on blood pressure and blood glucose level using sphygmomanometer and glucometer.   Results: The pre- and post-test between group A and group B show a highly significant difference. However, group A showed higher significance than group B.     Conclusion: According to the findings, aerobic stepper exercise with relaxation techniques shows highly significant difference and aerobic stepper exercise with ergonomic correction shows significance but aerobic exercise with relaxation technique is highly effective in reducing stress and maintaining blood pressure and glucose level in teachers.

    Abstract: Introduction and Aim: Bell’s palsy is an instantaneous lower motor neurons injury of 7th cranial nerve associated with infection and swelling. It produces unexpected unilateral weakness of facial muscles, progresses rapidly and attains peak symptoms within a week. The most common age of incidence is between 20 to 40 years. Although facial paralysis in Bell’s palsy is self-limited, only 80% of the patients make a full recovery. There are studies stating that both galvanic electrical stimulation and laser therapy speed up the recovery of facial paralysis, but the extent of complete recovery is unknown. Hence, this study is an attempt to understand and compare how laser therapy and galvanic electrical stimulation affect facial appearance and facial muscle functions in Bell's palsy.   Materials and Methods: This study included thirty subjects with acute onset of Bell’s palsy aged between 20-40 years. They were randomly grouped into A and B. Galvanic electrical stimulation and low-level laser therapy were given to group A and group B respectively for 6 weeks (3 sessions/week) along with facial exercises. Facial disability index scale was used to measure facial muscle function and Sunny brook scale was used to measure facial symmetry in pre- and post-treatment periods.   Results: When comparing the pre- and post-mean values of groups A and B on the Sunny Brook facial grading and the facial disability index (physical, social), group B (with low level laser therapy) showed a highly significant difference in mean values at p 0.001.   Conclusion: Low-level laser therapy can be used as an adjective in treating the patients with Bell’s palsy.

    Abstract: Introduction and Aim: Increased risk of fall and injury, disturbance in gait and balance is always associated with type 2 diabetes. The more common risk factor in diabetes is the fear of fall. Exercise provides stability, improves the dynamic balance and has a great influence to maintain the equilibrium of the body. The aim of the study was to analyse the effect of antigravity and Pilates exercise to improve balance in diabetes mellitus patients.   Materials and Methods: This is an experimental study and a comparative type. The study was done in the Faculty of Physiotherapy OP department, A.C.S. Medical College and Hospital with a study sample of 30 patients with male and female in the age group of 45 -65 years. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria the subjects were segregated into two groups. Group A- were implemented with antigravity exercise for half an hour for three days per week for 12 weeks and Group B -were implemented with Pilates for forty-five minutes for three days per week for 12 weeks.   Results: The study revealed that anti-gravity exercise was better than Pilates exercise and which helps in increasing the balance, muscle strength and prevent falls Risks and provides a great significant difference in post- test mean value (P 0.001).   Conclusion: At the end of the study, it indicates that anti-gravity exercise was found to be more effective in improving the balance among diabetes mellitus patients.
