Objective: To find out the frequency of Musculoskeletal Pain among Postmenopausal women with Overall and Central Obesity. Methods: A Cross-Sectional study was carried out at Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, for six months. A sample size of 250 patients with generalized obesity and central obesity was taken. Non-Probability, Convenience Sampling technique was used. The Nordic questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. Data was analyzed on SPSS version 21. Results: Results showed that majority respondents were in the age group of 51-60 i.e. 43.6% (N=109), respondents with BMI >30 were 50.8% (N=127), waist/height ratio 99.2% (N=248) were > 0.5, waist/hip ratio 86.8% (N=217) were >0.85, 90% (N=225) were present with waist circumference >88cm. Conclusion: This study concludes that musculoskeletal pain is high in postmenopausal women with overall obesity and has shown more pain in the neck, back, shoulder and lower extremities, while postmenopausal women with central obesity have suffered more with back pain.

There are billions of internet users now a days and this number is keep on increasing due to global digitalization. Mostly students are using internet for their study purpose but they are getting addicted to over use of internet other than study purpose. In long term this affects their academic performance as well as their health.Objective: To determine the correlation of internet addiction with academic performance and general health in undergraduate physical therapy students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 345 physical therapy students of Lahore (Pakistan), who were selected via non- probability convenient sampling technique. Data was collected using Young's internet addiction and general health questionnaire and CGPA for academic performance. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 21. Results: Correlation of internet addiction with general health and academic performance showed a significant association between internet addiction and general health. The p value was less than 0.05 which showed correlation between internet addiction and academic performance Conclusions: There seen a positive Correlation of internet addiction with academic performance and general health in undergraduate physical therapy students
The rate of cerebrovascular accident is keep on increasing in Pakistan which cause major disability in affected person. In developed countries it has been reported that an action observation treatment for rehabilitation, promotes motor function of upper limb in stroke population.Objective: To find out effects of action observation treatment on upper limb motor functions of chronic stroke patients.Study Design: A randomized control trial with registered number NCT05084820.Place and Duration of study:Fourteen chronic stroke patients were taken from Umer hospital and Riphah rehab center Lahore. Total duration of study was 6 months.Materials and method:A randomized control trial was done containing total 14 chronic stroke patients. Patients in experimental group were given action observationtreatment three days per week for one month along with conventional physiotherapy treatment. Patients in conventional group, received strengthening exercises, reach and grasp of hand, stretch of hand muscles. Modified Barthel Index was used to measure function of upper limb and Fugl-Meyer Assessment for upper extremity (FMA-UE) for assessment of motor function. Statistical analysis was done by using SPSS 21.Results: There were significant difference in MBI and FMA-UE score, P value was <0.05, but sensation and joint pain from FMA-UE tool P value was >0.05 which was non-significant.Conclusion:Action observation treatment together with conventional treatment was an effective treatment approach on improving motor function of upper limb in chronic stroke patients.
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of the structured rehabilitation program on knee pain and function in patients with a total knee replacement. Methodology: A randomized controlled trial conducted at Horizon Hospital Lahore. Twenty six patients were randomly allocated to experimental and control group. Experimental group was treated with structured rehabilitation program and conventional exercises while control group was treated with conventional exercises alone. Outcome measuring tools were numeric pain rating scale, Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and goniometer. All the patients received 16 sessions of treatment. Data was collected at baseline and at the end of 4th week. Results: Outcome measures numeric pain rating scale, Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and goniometer showed significant results (p<0.05) after treatment in both groups but mean values showed more improvement in experimental group treated with structured rehabilitation program. Conclusion: This study concluded that structured rehabilitation program had better effects on pain, function and range of motion in patients with knee arthroplasty.
