“…RGS can be used as a useful method to foretell the prevalence of DM. 31 There were 98 participants reported with left hand dominancy and with cervical radiculopathy (28.57%) with poor hand grip strength, (20.41%) with average hand grip strength, (1.02%) with excellent hand grip strength. On the other hand,98 participants with left hand dominancy and without cervical radiculopathy (26.02%) with poor hand grip strength, (16.84%) with average hand grip strength, (7.14%) with excellent hand grip strength.…”

Background: Patients with Diabetes Mellitus type 2 have reported to be more disabled in self-care tasks and other daily living activities because of many hand complications. There is reduction in grip strength in diabetic population. The purpose of this study was to compare hand grip strength among diabetes mellitus with and without cervical radiculopathy. A dynamometer can be used to swiftly and precisely measure the link between diabetic patient’s hand grip strength and their blood sugar levels. Objective(s): The study's objective was to evaluate the comparison of hand grip strength among diabetes mellitus with and without cervical radiculopathy. Methodology: A Cross-sectional study was carried among 385 diabetic patients with and without cervical radiculopathy from age 35-75. Data collected from two hospitals of Gujrat City. The study was completed June 2022 to October 2022 within 4 months by non-probability convenient sampling. Both genders were included. Instruments used in this study were handheld dynamometer. We were start to measure handgrip strength in both dominant and non-dominant hand of diabetic patients with and without cervical radiculopathy. Result was analyzed by SPSS version 24; mean and standard deviation were calculated for quantitative variables whereas frequency and percentages were used for qualitative variables. Results: The results had been obtained from 385 diabetic patients (50.6%) were females and (49.4%) were males. In our study the data was collected on the bases of age, gender, socioeconomic status, area and dominancy of hand. 61(32.28%) diabetic patients with cervical radiculopathy hand grip strength are more effected as compared to those without cervical radiculopathy that were 15(7.94%) and there (P<0.001) which indicates it is statistically significant. Practical Implication: The study suggests that fewer patients were diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy in diabetic patients and more patients were without cervical radiculopathy. Conclusion(s): This study concluded that the hand grip strength of patients with cervical radiculopathy prone to diabetes was affected highly as compared to those of which were not diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy but with diabetes. Although our study suggests that less patients were diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy in diabetic patients and more patients were without cervical radiculopathy, our study also proves that diabetic patients are also likely to develop neuropathies in later ages.

Introduction:To evaluate the efficiency of 3M Coban self-adherent wrap application on early (1-4 weeks) edema among patients undergoing surgery following a flexor tendon injury in Zone V or distal. Material and Method:The study included 56 patients who had flexor tendon injuries. The patients were randomized into two groups by the computerized randomization method. Both groups were applied the "Modified Duran Protocol" (MDP) early passive mobilization exercises and "Retrograde Edema Massage". In addition, was applied 3M Coban self-adherent wrap to Group II. Finger circumferences was measured using a tape measure, and the pain intensity was evaluated with a visual analog scale (VAS). A goniometer was used to measure the joint range of motion (ROM), the Duruoz hand index (DHI) to evaluate functionality level, and the quality of life was investigated using the short form-36 (SF-36). Results:The results showed that was statistically significant differences in both groups compared to pre-treatment (p<0.05). Edema, ROM, and all parameters of the DHI were found in both groups improved significantly (p<0.05). VAS pain scores at rest and activity were found significantly decreased in both groups compared to pre-treatment (p<0.001). In addition, pain at activity was found more significantly decreased in Group II (using bandage group). When it comes to the quality of life, there was a significant improvement in the SF-36 scores in both groups (p<0.05). In addition, increases in the scores on the "Physical Functioning" and "Physical Role" subscales were more significant in Group II (p<0.05). Conclusion:In flexor tendon injuries, early rehabilitation and close follow-ups are likely to improve edema, upper extremity functions, and quality of life among patients. "Early Passive Mobilization Exercises (the Modified Duran Protocol)" and "Retrograde Edema Massage" are rather effective in edema treatment. Overall, we suggest that 3M Coban self-adherent wrap application also contributes to reducing pain at activity and improving physical functions following flexor tendon repairs.
