Introduction: Deposition of fat over the upper trunk and neck is called neck obesity. It is a topographical central fat distribution. In this cross-sectional study, it is demonstrated that individuals with neck obesity are having a hyperresponsive cardiovascular system, to the incentive spirometry breathing exercise as compared to abdominal obese individuals. Objective: To check sustained maximal inspirations using incentive spirometry (IS) as a tool for cardiovascular (CVS) responses of the neck and abdominal obese individuals. Methods: Sample size and population: N=30 individuals (15 with neck obesity and 15 with abdominal obesity volunteered and gave written informed consent to participate. The setting was the Research Lab of AIPT, Amity University, Noida, UP. India. Inclusion Criteria: Age group: 18-30 years; BMI ≥25kg/cm2; Circumference of abdomen ≥ 88 cm in females and ≥ 102 cm in males; [abdominal obesity group]; Circumference of neck ≥ 35 cm in females and ≥ 41 cm in males. ...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to find the significance of continous mode on the immediate effect on pain threshold and range of motion which follows a single treatment of tender points in the upper trapezius muscle among using diclofenac sodium as coupling medium. Methods: 30 subjects presenting with upper trapezius muscles spasm, aged 20-30 years old, participated in this Study. Subjects underwent a screening process to establish the presence of tender points in upper trapezius muscle. Subjects were divided randomly into 2 groups. Group A = continuous mode of ultrasound (0.8 w/cm2 for 5 minutes) Group B = pulsed mode of ultrasound (0.8 w/cm2 for 5 minutes) Visual Analogue Scale and Range of Motion is assessed pre treatment and immediately post treatment. Result the p value of VAS (post treatment) and ROM (post treatment) in continous mode was 0.000 Conclusion: continous mode of ultrasound is better for immediate pain relive as compared to pulsed mode when diclofenac sodium is ...

Background: It has been observed that Blood Pressure and Heart Rate of an individual changes with posture. This study is performed to study the change in Blood Pressure and Heart Rate while standing on dominant and on non-dominant single -leg stance in males and females. Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the significant changes in Blood Pressure and Heart Rate in young college going males and females while standing on there dominant and non-dominant lower limb (single-leg stance). Subjects: 200 subjects (100-males, 100-females) of the age group of 18 to 25yrs Study Design: Co-relational Data Analysis: P-Value was calculated for the systolic and diastolic blood pressure separately and as well as of Heart Rate in resting, single-leg stance on dominant leg and single-leg stance on nondominant leg in both Males and Females. Conclusion: From The study it can be concluded that while training any individual on single -leg stance on dominant and non-dominant a therapist s...

Aim and objective: To analyze electromyographic changes in muscle post Exercise Induced Muscle Soreness (EIMS). Methodology: 80 subjects(age group 21-30yrs, BMI 18-29kg/m2) free of any musculoskeletal/ Neuromuscular/psychological disorder, took part in the study. After checking for leg dominancy and calculation of BMI, the subjects were asked to perform one single squat up to 900 of hip and knee flexion while an EMG of the Rectus Femoris and Vastus Medialis Obliqus (both parts of quadriceps muscle) was recorded simultaneously. Another EMG reading was taken in the similar manner after confirming the development of muscle soreness on a graphic pain rating scale following the exercise protocol. Results: The mean value of peak EMG of Rectus Femoris pre exercise is 508.69mV (microvolt) and post exercise induced muscle soreness is 686.60 mV. The mean of peak EMG amplitude of Vastus Medialis Obliqus came out to be as 379.81 mV pre exercise and 472.70 mV post exercise induced muscle sorenes...
