Background
Intrinsic and extrinsic musculatures along with inert structures provide both mobility and stability to the foot. Dysfunction of tibialis posterior (TP) tendon causes pathomechanical alteration in the foot initiating temporary and later leading to permanent changes in the foot. TP strengthening may lead to improvement in flat foot. Elect...
Context
Somatic tinnitus is the conscious perception of auditory sensation in the absence of an external stimulus, characterized by buzzing, ringing, hissing, or whistling noises which can affect the quality of life. It may be caused by cervical and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. To date, there is no comprehensive physiotherapy protocol...
Osteoporosis and body composition changes are prevalent musculoskeletal issues contributing to increased risk of frailty in older people. Weight bearing directly influences bone mineral density and body composition. Study aims to determine feasibility of high intensity interval training (HIIT) protocol on body composition parameters and bone minera...
Chronic non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) is a pain and stiffness in the lower back region for which specific cause of the pain is unknown . Otago exercises and Bosu ball exercises aim to improve balance and reduce pain and disability. There is a lack of literature where these approaches are not compared and hence the need arises to evaluate their...
Upper crossed syndrome (UCS) is a condition that is caused due to alternating tightness and weakness in the opposite muscle groups of the neck, shoulders, and upper back which results in abnormal postural deviations. Global postural re-education (GPR) and Egoscue exercises (EE) aim to improve postural alignment and reduce musculoskeletal discomfort...
Introduction
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is considered a mainstay intervention for lateral epicondylitis (LE) with clear evidence. Eccentric Exercises (EE) and Muscle Energy Technique [MET] have been shown to be beneficial individually. However, trials are lacking where the above two approaches are compared. Further, no comprehensive EE protocol...
Chronic painful heel (CPH) is a symptom of an underlying condition caused due to obesity, excessive foot pronation, tightness of Tendo-Achilles (TA), excessive running, and sedentary life. The antigravity muscles (AGM) atrophy results due to long working hours in sitting, leading to their deteriorating relationship with gravity thereby reduced sens...
Forward head posture (FHP) is a prevalent adaptive postural malalignment caused due to poor working and leisure habits. Prolonged FHP eventually leads to muscle imbalance, postural instability, and can advance the progression of cervical disorders. Early intervention through screening may help to prevent this posture from being symptomatic. Therefo...
Introduction
Menopause is a challenging stage of a woman’s life, with increased occurrences of musculoskeletal issues and obesity that need to be tackled early and effectively. Less is known about the effect of HIIT & hatha yoga on musculoskeletal parameters in post-menopausal females. Both exercise approaches differ and are comparable in many ways...
Context
Age-related loss in skeletal muscle mass (sarcopenia), decreased muscle strength (dynapenia), and frailty can impede functional skills and cause mobility problems, leading to falls and fractures. There are scanty epidemiological data on the prevalence of these conditions in areas in the Indian subcontinental areas.

Background:
Plantar fasciitis (PF) can be treated effectively with manual techniques like cryostretch (CS) and the positional release technique (PRT). Although Gua Sha (GS) has been suggested in the literature for PF, its efficacy has not been studied in the research.
Objective:
To determine and compare the effectiveness of GS, CS, and PRT in su...
Introduction
Evidence suggests that obesity and ageing in women are linked to angular knee abnormalities. The hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle on a full-limb radiograph is the gold standard measure of lower limb alignment. The AI Posture Evaluation and Correction System (APECS) software is a non-radiographic mobile application designed for whole-body pos...

Prevalence of WRMSDs and level of physical fitness i...
Background:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common musculoskeletal condition seen in aging. Joint destruction, chronic pain, change in proprioception, stability problems and decreased range of motion are the most common problems seen in OA. Complementary therapies like yoga, graded motor imagery (GMI), progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and Tai C...
Current literature states the use of management protocols that target the entire kinetic chain of the lower
limb rather than managing only the affected joint. An integrated therapist‑designed corrective protocol may
work effectively through changes make as in the myofascial kinetic chain on knee osteoarthritis (OA). In
this case report, the effect...
Background: Forward head posture (FHP) is the most frequently attained attitude of the head associated with
rounded-shoulder posture (RSP) that leads to muscle imbalances. This needs to be corrected to prevent neck pain.
Self-care exercises are home exercises that work positively for the prevention of the secondary effects of RSP.
Aims: The aim of...
Background: The repeated occurrences of sinusitis hinders patients from carrying out their daily life activities
efficiently. The successful application of therapeutic ultrasound and shortwave diathermy (SWD) with the addition
of suboccipital release and manual techniques could develop a new paradigm in the treatment of chronic sinusitis.

The aim of the present study was to compare three different forms of exercises namely lumbar stabilization, dynamic strengthening, and Pilates on chronic low back pain (LBP) in terms of pain, range of motion, core strength and function. In this study, 44 subjects suffering from non-specific LBP for more than 3 months were randomly allocated into th...
Cervical radiculopathy is common condition seen today. It is found to associate with upper limb dysfunction which in turn hinders daily activity due to muscular weakness. Grip strength is found to be reduced in cervical radiculopathy and is taken to be a good measure of upper limb function. Treatment of cervical radiculopathy is mainly concentrated...
