Over the previous two decades, computer use has increased the occurrence of musculoskeletal problems and other disorders. Frequent computer use is to blame for a slew of MSDs that can cause fatigue, pain, and even impairment. Tendons, ligaments, joints, nerves, blood muscles, and veins are all affected by these conditions. Methods: The study design of this research was cross-sectional. The sample size of 413. The data was gathered from IT Professionals of 4 different software houses of Lahore. Nordic musculoskeletal disorder questionnaire was used. Results: The most affected body regions among were neck (63.9%), lower back (58.6%), and upper back (42.9%). Other affected regions were; Right shoulder (39.2%), Left shoulder (33.7%), both shoulders (31.2%), one or both hips/thighs (26.2%), right wrist/hand (23.2%), one or both knees (22.8%), left wrist/hand (20.8%), one or both ankles/feet (19.4%), right elbow (15.3%), left elbow (12.6%), both wrist/hand (12.3%) and both elbows (8.2%) respectively. Conclusion: It was concluded that there is high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders seen in the IT Professionals,
Adhesive capsulitis, “popularly is a condition with an unclear etiology known as Frozen Shoulder (FS)". This disorder limits the range of motion of the shoulder joint. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of movement with mobilization and muscle energy technique (METs) in reducing pain and improving functional status in patients with frozen shoulder Methods: Study was conducted at Department of Physiotherapy, Mayo Hospital Lahore after obtaining the consent from 36 patients. Patients were divided into Two groups. For two weeks, Group 1 received Movement with Mobilization Protest movements (MMM) while Group 2 received METs. The data was processed into SPSS and evaluated using the Independent Sample t test and Paired Sample t test. Results: The outcome assessment instruments, “goniometer for ROM” and “shoulder pain, and disability index,” revealed that “Motion by Mobility is more effective than Muscle Energy Technique in increasing ROM and operational condition” of the patient having frozen shoulder. Conclusions: There was a considerable improvement in pain and ROM from pre-treatment levels in both the study groups. Whereas “Movement with Mobilization is more effective than Muscle Energy Technique” in alleviating pain, enhancing range of motion, and enhancing functional capacity in “patients with shoulder pain.”
Cervical vertigo is a phrase used to describe to-and-fro vertigo and unsteadiness of gait caused by neck lesions. Cervicogenic dizziness is caused by cervical spine involvement. Cervical vertigo is caused by a variety of etiologies and processes. Objective: The study was to find Prevalence of Cervicogenic Vertigo Among Patients with Cervical Spondylosis. Methods: This study included 78 individuals who had a confirmed diagnosis of cervical spondylosis. Data was obtained from several hospitals in Lahore using a standardized vertigo questionnaire from all participants after clearance from the university ethics council and IRB UOL. Data was collected using a convenient sampling strategy. Results: Total of 78 people were selected in study. There were 45 men and 33 women among them. In this study, 65 people reported experiencing lightheadedness when dizzy, while 13 persons reported not experiencing lightheadedness when dizzy. In this study, 65 people reported experiencing blacking out when dizzy, whereas 13 persons reported not experiencing blacking out when dizzy. Conclusion: According to the findings of this investigation, cervicogenic vertigo is prevalent in senior individuals with cervical spondylosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
