    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: Football is one of the famous sports in the world and associated with many ankle injuries in football players. Many football players use single leg drop jump landing ranging from 13 to 20 out of 1000 players. Functional balance maintain or improve activities of daily living and quality of life. Strength training increases the density of bone and reduces the risk of fractures. Aim of this present study is to analyze the effectiveness of the isolated ankle strengthening and functional balance training in single leg drop jump land in football players. Materials and Methods: 30 football players with single leg drop jump were randomly selected to participate in this pre and post test experimental study. Study is done at ACS medical college. Selected players were asked to perform the exercise for about 8 weeks, 40 minutes per day. The subjects performed ankle strengthening for 20 minutes and functional balance training for 20 minutes. Dorsiflexors are at high-risk injury during single leg drop jump land in football players. Thus, exercise is given for strengthening and functional balance and prevailing stability of ankle is measured using foot and ankle measure (sub scale) (FAAM), Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT). Results: On comparing mean values of SEBT within group between pretest and post-test values, it shows statistically highly significant difference and improvement in balance between pre-test (89.67) and post-test (94.18) at P 〈 0.001. On comparing the mean value of FAMM sports subscale within group between pretest and post-test values, it shows statistically highly significant difference and improvement in ankle and foot physical function between pretest (45.34) and post-test (60.81) at P 〈 0.001. Conclusion: This study shows that isolated ankle strengthening, and functional balance training is effective in improving the ankle strength and balance in football players. Keywords: Stability threshold; single leg drop jump land; foot and ankle ability measure scale sports subscale (FAAM); star excursion balance test (SEBT)

    Abstract: Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by an extra abnormal presence of the 21st chromosome. Some abilities related to motor function are extensive, for example, lack of postural control, gait abnormality, and lack of balance and coordination. In addition, postural changes in Down syndrome may occur due to the difficulty of perception of responses, which impairs the feeling of the limb position and limb movements. Hippotherapy (HT) is a physical treatment, and it is defined as equine-assisted treatment in which horse movement promotes physical and physiological improvements. Strategic placement of lightweight on the torso using the balance-based torso-weighting (BBTW) method has improved stability and reduced falls in people with cerebellar ataxia but has not been tested in Down syndrome. Therefore, we examined whether torso-weighting increased standing stability and or functional movement in children with DS. A total of 30 subjects with Down syndrome were taken and grouped into two groups, with group A- 15 subjects treated with hippotherapy and group B-15 subjects treated with balanced-based torso-weighting. The baseline measurement was taken using Berg's balance scale and the time up and test (TUG test). Statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 24. The paired t-test was to find the statistical difference within the groups & Independent t-test (Student t- Test) was adopted to see the statistical difference between the groups. The procedure is done by performing hippotherapy for 4 times a week for 12 weeks for group A, and balanced-based torso weighting is performed for 4 times a week for 12 weeks for group B. Children medically diagnosed with DS and with IQ less than 50 were excluded from the study. In this study, hippo therapy with conventional treadmill training gives a better improvement in a patient with down syndrome when compared with balance-based torso weighting with conventional treadmill training. Hence, hippo therapy with conventional treadmill training would be the better treatment for down syndrome.

    Abstract: BACKGROUND: Postural control is critical for ensuring a safety activity of daily living. Individuals with poor stability are more prone to fall while doing activities of daily living. A certain level of sway is essentially present due to small perturbation within the body during shifting body weight from one to other foot, breathing, etc. The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between body mass and postural control in normal, lean and obese individual. AIMS: to analyze the correlation between body mass and postural control in healthy individuals using sway meter. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is an observational study done with 75 participants. Both male and female healthy individuals between 18-23 years were included in this study. Individuals with any musculoskeletal injuries, neurological conditions, peripheral artery disease and pregnant women were excluded from the study. BMI of each participant was calculated and assigned into three groups. Group A-lean, group B-normal and group C-obese. Postural control was analyzed for each group by using sway meter; level of postural sway was compared between groups A, B C. RESULTS: On comparing mean values of groups A, B and C there was a positive association and strong correlation between body mass index and postural control with eye open and eye closed in anterior, posterior and postural sway towards left between the groups at (P 0.05). However, there was a negative association and weak correlation between BMI and postural control with eye open eye closed in postural sway towards right between the groups at (P 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals that there is strong correlation between BMI and postural control. Subjects in eyes closed and eyes opened conditions showed sway in anterior, posterior and left directions but there was less sway towards right side direction.

    Abstract: Introduction: Upper cross syndrome (UCS) occurs when the muscle in the neck, shoulders, and chest become deformed usually as a result of poor posture. The aim of the study is to analyse the effect of McKenzie’s method of exercise to treat upper cross syndrome associated with cervicogenic headache. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was conducted in outpatient department physiotherapy A.C.S. Medical College and Hospital. Fifty subjects were selected for the study of the age group between 20 to 50 years of both male and female sex. Duration of this study was about 3 months. Each patient was trained about three session per week, 30 minutes per session. The session included McKenzie’s method of exercise to improve the shoulder and neck movements and postural corrections of the subjects. The outcome measure done using visual analogue scale (VAS) for cervicogenic headache and upper cross syndrome questionnaire (UCS). Results: The results on comparing upper cross syndrome questionnaire score and Visual Analog Scale score showed that between the pre-test (4.93) and post-test (3.43) mean values with group McKenzie’s exercise showed highly significant difference. Thus, it is appropriate that McKenzie’s method of exercise to treat upper cross syndrome associated with cervicogenic headache is effective.
