Abstract

Objective: To find untrained exercising individuals and to find out which all musculoskeletal problems arises due to untrained exercising individuals.

Method: A total 100 subjects were included both males and females between age group 20 to 40 among which 51 were males and 49 were females. The subjects were explained about Mc. Gill questionnaire and were asked to rate the pain according to VAS in reference to before practising unsupervisedexercise and after practisingun supervised exercising.

Results: The prevalence rateof musculoskeletal problem in untrained exercising individuals is 84 %.

Conclusion: It is found that musculoskeletal problem increased after practicing untrained exercises and pain was increased in the individuals and the most affected area was low back area, type of pain found to be more was sensory and intermittent type in relation to time.

Abstract

Objective: To find out correlation between head/neck posture and trigger points in upper trapezius muscle in frozen shoulder subjects.

Method: A total of 48 subjects (28 females and 20 males) between the age group 40-60 years with stage 2 of frozen shoulder were selected for the assessment of head/neck posture and trigger points in upper trapezius. Outcome assessment for head/neck posture included cranial vertical angle (CVA), cranial rotation angle (CRA); upper trapezius trigger points were explored through palpation. Both the readings were compared and analysed by Pearson correlation test using SPSS (version 20).

Result: Poor correlation between CVA and upper trapezius trigger points-(r=0.1647) whereas correlation between CRA and trigger points in upper trapezius-(r=-0.0972) in subjects with frozen shoulder which was statistically insignificant.

Conclusion: There is weak influence of head/neck posture and trigger points in upper trapezius. i.e. there is no greater/smaller deviational change in the forward head posture (FHP) in association with trigger points in upper trapezius in frozen shoulder subjects.

Abstract

Objective: To find out the effect of dance therapy on stress and anxiety in working women.

Method: A total of 41 women between age group 25 to 40 years were randomly selected to receive aerobic dance therapy. The program was conducted for 4 weeks, scheduled three days in a week, with a session of 10-20 minutes each day. Outcome assessment included perceived stress scale (PSS) and Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAMA) which was recorded before and after completion of sessions.

Result: There was a reduction in levels of stress and anxiety after 4 weeks of aerobic dance therapy (p value < 0.0001) which was found to be statistically significant; whereas correlation between working hours and scores of PSS (r value -0.16) and HAMA (r value -0.06) Scales were statistically insignificant.

Conclusion: On the basis of results of our study we concluded that aerobic dance therapy was effective in reducing stress and anxiety in working women.
