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.
A medical condition that occurs due to interrupted blood supply to the brain leading to restricted oxygen supply to the tissues resulting in cell death is known as “stroke”. It is considered as a second leading cause of death globally and a major cause of disabilities for the patients surviving from its fatality. Monoplegia, Diplegia, Hemiplegia, Quadriplegia, hemiparesis are all the different gifts of the stroke given to multiple patients suffering from it. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the difference between the hemiplegic stroke patients who have undergone physical therapy treatment in contrast to those patients who have not taken any physical therapy treatment. Methods: Cross sectional study design was selected for the performance of the research. Research setting was a Government Sector Hospital. Specific balance and coordination exercises were given to the hemiplegic stroke patients and their effect was observed in the term of their recovery speed. Out of sample of 40 individuals, some have taken physical therapy rehabilitation with varying number of sessions and intensity of exercises while in contrast, some have not taken any physical therapy from scratch following stroke. Brunel Balance Assessment (BBA) scale was measured in relation to the effect of exercises given to the patients. Results: The data analysis has shown significant improvement in balance and different fine motor movements in post training group as compared to those who have not taken physical therapy rehabilitation. Data analysis has clearly shown that percentage of improvement in the condition of patients is directly related to the frequency of exercise given to them in their post stroke period. The BBA scale was having higher values in the patients undergoing physical therapy rehabilitation as compared to the patients who have not undergone any sort of physical therapy rehabilitation. Conclusion: Balance and coordination exercises have impact in the post hemiplegic stroke patients
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.
