Objective: This study investigated the causes and risk factors of coccydynia among postpartum women in Maula Bakhsh DHQ Sargodha. The main focus of the study was to identify what are the basic causes and risk factors of coccydynia. Methods: This was an observational cross-sectional study on 90 postpartum women from Maula Bakhsh DHQ Sargodha. Self-developed questionnaire was filled for data collection. Results: Highest percentages of coccydynia was found among age 30 and 35 i.e. 12.2%. Our study showed that out of the total population 68.9% women experienced coccydynia with C sections. 73.3% experienced coccydynia with increasing number of pregnancies (more than one pregnancy. 90% women experiencing pain preferred to sit on soft surface. Conclusion: This study concluded that multiple factors led to the development of coccydynia in postpartum women including number of C sections and increasing number of pregnancies.
Background: To estimate gender difference in prevalence of UE MSDs among dental students. Cumulative trauma disorders (CTD), repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), and overuse syndrome are all terms used to describe MSDs. Overuse movement patterns involving repetitive and intense movements at the joint, as well as other risk factors, enhance the likelihood of musculoskeletal diseases in dentistry students. Aim: To provide the importance of the proper ergonomics and proper posture to dental students. So that to avoid upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders among them Methods: Data was collected from dentistry students studying at the University of Lahore in a descriptive cross-sectional survey. The data was collected using a standard Nordic Questionnaire. The SNQ is divided into two sections, one of which includes descriptive statistics and the other of which has a series of questions with yes/no questions that indicate the areas of the body impacted by MSDs and the locations of feelings experienced from the positional uncomfortable graphic. Results: According to the results, the dentistry student’s encountered U.E joints problems more during their daily life predominantly in shoulder and wrist joints and the pain evaluation prove the results. Conclusion: Dentistry students have a higher prevalence of UE MSDs with shoulder and wrist most affected according to the findings. Keywords: Musculoskeletal disorders, Standardized Nordic questionnaire, Dental students.
Posture, balance, and movement issues are common in children with Down syndrome. Emerging research suggests that balance training may be advantageous for children with Down syndrome, making it a crucial component of physical activity programmes. Objective: to ascertain the impact of balance training and activities for core stability on postural control in kids with Down syndrome. Methods: single blinded RCT study was conducted, in which assessor was kept blind. While taking into account inclusion and exclusion criteria, children with Down syndrome were randomly divided into two groups with ages ranging from 5 to 17 years. There were 20 patients in the sample. Exercises for core stability were given to Group 2 and balance training to Group 1. The time between treatments was six weeks. The Comprehensive Rehabilitation facility Chakwal is where the data is gathered. The pre- and post-values of postural stability were measured using the paediatric Berg balance scale. Results: The present results are significantly better in the group B than in the group A. Core stability exercises shows better results than balance training. Conclusion: According to the results of the current study from the data of before the treatment and after the treatment, it revealed a positive change. In the duration of six weeks the core stability exercises were more effective than balance training in developing postural control among children with Down syndrome.
Hemophilia is an X-linked genetic progressive hemorrhage condition that is characterized by a clotting factor VIII (classic hemophilia, or hemophilia A) or IX (hemophilia B) deficiencies. Objective: To determine the comparative effects of functional therapy program and manual therapy program on elbow arthropathy of haemophilia patients. Methods: It was a single blinded randomized controlled trial in which assessor was kept blind. In this study non-probability purposive technique was applied. The study was conducted in the Sundas foundation Lahore taking into account consort guidelines. Thirty participants suffering from hemophilia were enrolled in study in 2 groups while considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. Randomization was done through lottery method and concealment was done. Group A (n=15) was treated with manual therapy Grade 1, 2 or 3 mobilization techniques according to patient condition program and Group B (n=15) were treated with functional therapy. Hot pack was used as a baseline treatment for 10 min. For data collection Goniometer was used to measured elbow flexion and extension and Stanford HAQ 20 item Disability for assessing disability. Results: P-value was <0.01which shows that both groups were effective for managing the patient of hemophilia, but manual therapy show more significant result as compared to functional therapy program. Conclusion: In manual therapy treatment group, there was significant improvement in range of movement of elbow joint which enhanced functional activity of arm in haemophilic patients with chronic elbow arthropathy.
This study was conducted to assess the upper limb pain in manual physiotherapists by using different manual therapy techniques.There was no such type of study in Pakistan and also there was less literature found on this study internationally.It was a cross sectional study . Data was collected from the manual physiotherapists of Lahore from different clinical settings. The data collection was done by using Non probability convenient sampling technique. The Sample size was 126, calculated from (“Raosoft” software). The questionnaire used to assess pain was the Standard Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire. For the statistical analysis, SPSS 20 software was used to find the association of use of a different type of manual therapy approach with upper extremity pain in the manual therapist. The mean age of physiotherapists was 34.6 (SD = 5.996). Out of 126, male physiotherapist 66 and 60 were female. Mostly Physiotherapists who were included in this study had working experience of more than 5 years and practicing more than 3 hours a day had upper limb pain. Physiotherapists using manual therapy techniques Kalterborn technique had more pain in the neck, shoulder, elbow,wrist and hand than physiotherapists using Mulligan and Maitland. There was no association of any technique used by physiotherapists with shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand and neck pain (p>0.05). This study concluded that physiotherapists using Kalternborn technique reported more upper limb pain than therapists using the maitland and mulligan techniques. There was no association of any technique used by hysiotherapists with shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand and neck pain.
