    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: InAsia, the prevalence of forward neck posture is 66%. Forward neck posture is the anterior positioning of cervical spine. This posture is sometimes called as “scholar’s neck. Forward neck posture can lead to musculoskeletal disorders such as injuries in muscles, tendons, and peripheral vessels, vascular vessels caused by repetitive or continuous use of certain body part. In forward neck posture, the sternocleidomastoid muscle and trapezius are largely responsible for turning and nodding the head. When the head moves front, the spine follows, pulling the shoulder blades forward as well.They make contact with the upper ribs and begin to drag it forward with them.Therefore, this study aims to quantify forward neck posture in prolonged smart phone users.   Methodology:An observational study was done in smartphone using student population comparing the control group students with forward neck posture studentsfor the duration of 3weeks. This study has included 100 students with forward neck posturewho were recruited fromDr. MGR Educational & Research Institute. Goniometer, Craniovertebral angle and Plumb line were used as the outcome measure.   Results:The findings of this research exhibit there is a statistically significant changes inforward neck posture studentscompared with control group and the mean difference is 14.97 in two groups students.   Conclusion:The present study concluded that 3 weeks after assessing the students. Forward neck posture students found to have decreased craniovertebral angle and range of motion compared to normal neck posture students and also found that forward neck posture students spent 5-6 hours using smart phones per day.

    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: Musicians may perceive the early symptoms of dystonia because of faulty technique or lack of sufficient preparation. Hand dystonia affecting musicians is often called musician’s dystonia or musician’s cramp.  Guitarists are typically affected in their left hand and the spasms may cause the fingers to contract and curl under when attempting to play. The condition called focal dystonia (musician’s cramp), can afflict typist or anyone else who makes repetitive, forceful, precise movements. The objective of the study is to observe the impact of alexander technique versus mirror therapy on musician’s cramp. Methodology: A total of 150 subjects were randomly selected based on the inclusion criteria. The selected subjects were divided in three groups namely group A, B and C respectively. The evaluation parameters were performed using the Likert scale and was framed based on pain, mobility, and grip. Results: Likert scale for pain, mobility and grip was used to analyse data. The results of this study show that the Alexander Technique is more effective than mirror therapy and conventional therapy to reduce pain and improve mobility and grip for guitarists. Conclusion: These results suggest that playing guitar by adapting Alexander technique is advantageous for building speed.
