Background and need of research: Assessment of mindfulness is essential to understanding its relationship with cognition functions such as attention, awareness, etc. While mindfulness has demonstrated many advantages in the workplace, the objective of this research is to assess the mindfulness in computer users using Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS).
Methods: An observational study was conducted in Computer worker of Gujarat State. Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) were filled from 104 computer users of both the gender between age group of 18 to 25 through online Google forms. Ethical clearance has been taken.
Result: The Statistical analysis of this study shows that Components No.3 (Somewhat Frequently) of MAAS had the greatest number of responses (Mean±SD=40.64±15.61). If you want to check the Low Mindfulness, ask the question no.12 (I drive places on "automatic pilot" and then wonder how I got there). (Mean=39.42).
Conclusion: The study concluded that 60.45% of Computer Users had Low to Moderate level of mindfulness.
Clinical implications: Yoga, Meditation and Breathing exercises, Cognitive exercises.
Key words: Mindfulness, Computer users, Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale, MAAS.
Background and need of study: Many individuals tend to exhibit unequal weight bearing on both the lower limbs. There is a need to check the total weight distribution on the dominant and the non- dominant lower extremity. More weight distribution on one extremity can cause certain changes due to overweight.
Purpose: Purpose of this study is to compare the amount of weight bearing given by an individual on the dominant lower extremity with the non- dominant lower extremity.
Methodology: Individual lower extremity weight bearing checked by making a person stand keeping one lower extremity on the weight machine and the other on the wooden block kept at the distance of 3 inches from the weight machine and subtracting the redeem from the total weight of the person. Ethical clearance has been taken.
Result: Statistical analysis done by using SPSS version 20. There is significant difference between the weight bearing on the dominant and non-dominant lower extremity. There is significantly more weight bearing on the dominant lower extremity in normal individuals. Level of significance (p=0.00). Amount of weight bearing on the dominant lower extremity is 4.22% more than the non- dominant lower extremity.
Conclusion: the result of the study suggests that weight bearing on the dominant lower extremity is more than the non-dominant lower extremity in normal individuals.
Key words: weight bearing status, dominant lower extremity, non-dominant lower extremity.
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.
