    Abstract: Often impacting elderly women, the urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary urine loss. Objective: The purpose of this study was to see the comparative effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle exercise with pilates training for treatment of urinary incontinence. Methods: The study's 36 patients who met the eligibility requirements were accepted. Prior to conducting any examinations, we obtained written informed consents from each participant. Patients with urinary incontinence were divided randomly into two groups. In ‘group A’ pelvic floor muscle exercises were applied while in ‘group B’ pilates training was applied. Allocation of patients in two groups was done by computerised generated list. Both groups received conventional therapy, which was the same throughout the study. The conventional therapy includes adductor strengthening of thigh and hot pack for 15 minutes. Group A received conventional therapy and pelvic floor muscle exercise while group B received conventional therapy and pilates training. Treatment frequency was 2 times a week. The duration of treatment was 6 weeks in both groups. Each patient's informed consent was obtained before the questionnaire was filled out. Scores were derived using the Questionnaire for Female Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID) and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ). Results: Patients in group A significantly outperformed those in group B. Conclusion: According to the study's findings, strengthening the pelvic floor muscles is superior than practicing pilates for treating stress urine incontinence. Pelvic floor exercises not only improved the urine leakage problem but also strengthened the muscle of abdomen and pelvis. So these exercises programs should be included in treatment plans along with medications in public health care for the welfare of patients.

    Abstract: Total Knee Arthroplasty is a procedure used to ease the pain and improve functions after degenerative joint diseases e.g. osteoarthritis. One of the complications of TKA is pain catastrophization. Pain catastrophizing is a characterized by the tendency to magnify the threat value of pain stimulus. It can be assessed through PCS which is a 13-item standardized tool for assessing pain catastrophizing. Primary objective of the study was to find the pain catastrophizing level in adult females after bilateral Total Knee Replacement. Objective: This study aims to highlight the importance of pain catastrophization in females who have undergone TKA so that it will alert the rehabilitation experts to plan the post-operative management keeping in view respective levels of pain catastrophization. Methods: This was a descriptive case series study in which 30 patients were included in study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria according to non-probability convenience sampling. All females were included in the study with same baseline characteristics. Literature was reviewed for the given study from EMBASE, MEDLINE AND PsycINFO. Questionnaire included in the study was PCS. Results: The statistical result of Rumination with the mean of 11.63, Magnification score with the mean of 1.98 and Helplessness score with the mean of 12.13 was obtained. Total mean score of pain catastrophizing was 29.500 and SD ±6.273. Conclusion: Pain catastrophizing after bilateral TKR is one major complications in females. That resulted in score of 40% Rumination, 19% Magnification and 41% Helplessness.

    Abstract: Low back pain has become the most common critical health problem and it is well known for causing a personal, and community financial burden globally. Low back pain is demarcated as non-specific, non-radiating pain with no accompanying neurological signs and symptoms. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness between Mckenzie exercises and back school exercises in the treatment of low back pain. Methods: This research included 36 patients who met the eligibility criteria. Prior to undertaking any examinations or receiving treatments, each participant in this study gave their ethical approval via filling out informed consent. Patients with nonspecific chronic back pain were divided randomly into 3 groups. In ‘group A’ only the conventional treatment was provided and in group 2 patients performed back school exercises. Similarly, in group 3 patients performed Mckenzie exercises. The lottery method was used to assign patients to these three randomized groups. All of these aforementioned groups received conventional therapy, which remained identical throughout the study. The conventional treatment included a hot pack for 10 minutes and back isometrics. Additionally, group A received conventional therapy, group B received conventional therapy along with back school exercises, and group 3 received Mckenzie exercises and conventional therapy. Each patient received treatment three times a week for of total 4 weeks. Roland Morris’s disability questionnaire was used to measure self-reported physical impairment due to low back pain. Moreover, a numeric pain rating scale was used to measure pain severity. Results: This study showed that patients receiving back school and Makenzie exercises showed marked improvement in pain and disability scores. Conclusion:  This study concluded that Mckenzie exercises are more effective than back school exercises for the management of chronic nonspecific low back pain. That is because Mckenzie’s exercises not only decrease pain but equally improve, the flexibility and posture of the spine
