The present aim of the study was to investigate improvement in pain intensity and measure disability of women with constant postpartum lower back pain after and tailored exercise protocol. Herein, 30 women aged between 30-35 years having lumbo-pelvic pain after delivery of three years were included and were received tailored exercises. The subjects were classifi ed acoording to Demographic and Anthropometric characteristics. Manual Screening for pain was done through VAS (visual analog scale) and Oswestry disability questionnaire. Group A and Group B were classifi ed as according to the exercise protocols. Group A were subjected to pelvic fl oor exercise along with abdominal muscle strengthening while Group B were subjected to Spinal hyperextensions along with abdominal muscle strengthening. The results depicted that the pelvic fl oor exercise in combination abdominal exercise with routine treatment for back pain provide signifi cant benefi ts in terms of pain relief and disability over routine treatment as compared to spinal hyperextensions along with abdominal muscle strengthening. A correlation was also established between the changes in disability and pain intensity in between two groups.
The aim of the present investigation is to depict the interventions of pelvic fl oor exercises in urinary incontinence. The present study deals with the employment of pelvic fl oor exercises in subjects of varying age group from 30-60 years. Tools employed for the study are B-SAQ validation, the Bladder Control Self-Assessment Questionnaire (B-SAQ) and 1 Hr pad test which was working as outcome measure. The study was designed to investigate the effect of pelvic fl oor exercises on symptoms and botherness caused by urinary incontinence and achieving continence level was marked through pad test. Results confi rmed that there was a signifi cant improvement in the symptoms scores of experimental group in which pelvic fl oor muscles were employed in contrast with the control group. Pelvic fl oor muscles should be done under the supervision of physiotherapist as geriatric population needs some external support in order to complete the pelvic fl oor exercise protocol.
Aim:The goal of the study is to find the effectiveness of Wrist Manipulation and Low-Level Laser Therapy, Flexibility and Endurance training to reduce pain and improve grip strength in patients with lateral epicondylitis of elbow.Method: A total of 30 subjects with Lateral Epicondylitis (LE),both male and female, between 25 to 50 years were selected and randomly further separated among 2 groups. The 2 separate groups comprised of 15 subjects each (male=7; female=8). Group A received Low-Level Laser Therapy(LLTT), Flexibility and Endurance training and Group B received Low-Level Laser Therapy along with wrist manipulation, flexibility and endurance training for 3 days per week. For both groups, total period of treatment was 4 weeks. Numeric Pain Rating Scale(NPRS) and Grip Strength (GS) were used as pre and post outcome measures.Results: Result of the study suggests improvement in mean value of NPRS and Grip Strength for groups A and B following treatment. The treatment was statically more significant in group B than group A.
Conclusion:The study concludes that patients affected with Lateral Epicondylitisreceiving wrist manipulation along with Low-Level Laser Therapy, Flexibility and Endurance training demonstrates significant improvement.
Primary Dysmenorrhea (PD) is characterized by painful cramps before or during menstruation. It is generally treated with nonpharmacological methods. However, with the advancement of research and the passage of time, physiotherapy plays an increasingly important role in treating patients with PD. Electrotherapy and exercise therapy are conservative methods to treat PD. Alternative methods to minimize reliance on medicinal-based treatments are the need of the hour. This review aims to determine the efficacy of exercise-based therapies and electrotherapy modalities in treating PD. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses standards have been used in the present systematic review and meta-analysis. Cochrane, PubMed, and Google Scholar were searched to facilitate the same. The articles from 2011 to 2021 were included in this review. The quality of the review was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. The visual analog scale was taken as a measure of pain intensity in the meta-analysis, and other outcomes have been included in the systematic review discussed. A total of 15 publications have been included, with a meta-analysis of 7. All included studies were of high quality (PEDro ≥ 5), and demonstrated the efficacy of exercise-based therapies and electrotherapy modalities in treating pain in females with PD. This review aims to check the impact of exercise and electrotherapy in females suffering from PD.
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.
