Objective: The objective of the study was to find out prevalence of lumbar lordosis in females aged between 35 to 45 years as per their gravida status.
Method: Ethical clearance was obtained from institutional ethical committee. A total of 100 healthy females from Karad with age between the age group of 35-45 years were selected for the assessment of their lumbar lordosis curvature. Individuals with any history of congenital spinal deformities or spinal fracture, surgical procedures related to spine, pregnant females were excluded from the study. Outcome measure used to measure lumbar lordosis was flexible ruler. The lordotic angle was calculated using the trigonometric formula θ=4 arc tan 2 h/L. Demographic data was collected, outcome assessment was recorded and later data was analyzed.
Results: We found that there is significant presence of hyperlordosis in 45% females from this study whereas presence of hypolordosis was 2%. Females with normal curvature of lumbar spine were about 53%. Hyperlordotic females with gravida 1, gravida 2 and gravida 3 showed 35%, 52.83% and 37.03% prevalence of lumbar hyperlordosis, respectively.
Conclusion: The study results concluded that hyperlordosis was extremely significant in middle-aged females with gravida 2 whereas hypolordosis was not much significant in this group.

Aim: To study the effect of weight-bearing and neurobic exercises on bone health and physical function in elderly individuals.
Objectives: The Objectives of the study are as follows: [1] To find out the effect of weight bearing on bone health and physical function in elderly individuals. [2] To find out the effect of weight bearing and neurobic exercises in combination on bone health and physical function in elderly individuals.
Method: Ethical clearance was obtained from Institutional Ethical Committee. 80 elderly individuals were assessed and 62 were included in the study based on inclusion criteria, the individuals were allocated into two groups: Group A (n=31) received Weight-bearing exercises and Group B (n=31) received Weightbearing and Neurobic exercises in combination. Pre and post-test were done for fasting serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase and SF 36 Health related quality of life questionnaire physical function component and the outcome measures were analysed after 6 weeks.
Result: Intergroup statistical analysis for serum calcium (p<0.0001), Alkaline phosphatase (p<0.0001) and SF 36 physical function component (p<0.0001) revealed extremely significant difference post intervention. Analysis of serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase and SF 36 score for group A (p<0.0001) and for group B (p<0.0001) was extremely significant respectively.
Conclusion: The study results concluded that Weight bearing and Neurobic exercises was significantly effective in improved bone health and physical function both individually and in combination.

Objective: To study the Effect of Exercise Program in reducing risk of fall in elderly subject.
Materials and Method: Total 30 elderly subjects(10 males and 20 females) aged above 60 years were having problem with flexibility, balance and high risk of fall were selected for the assessment of their flexibility, gait and balance. Subjects who are bed ridden, having neurological conditions, Psychiatry condition and visual deficit were excluded from the study. Outcome measures used were Morse fall risk assessment tool, Timed up and go test, Functional reach test, Functional gait assessment.
Conclusion: The present study provided evidence to conclude that the exercise programme was significantly effective in improving strength, flexibility and balance along with reducing risk of fall in elderly population.

Aim: To study the effect of structured exercise protocol for post menopausal stress urinary incontinence.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of structured exercise protocol for post menopausal stress urinary incontinence.
Methods: Ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Ethical Committee, KIMSDU, Karad. Initially the awareness program was conducted in karad and nearby areas. The selected sample was then studies at Krishna hospital, karad. 58 patients were equally divided into two group using convenient sampling with random allocation.Group A (n=29) , Group B (n=29). Baseline treatment was IFT and bladder training program. Group A was given structured exercises, Group B was given conventional exercises. Outcome measures were analyzed after 6 weeks.
Result: Intergroup comparison in group A result showed improvement in pad test (p = <0.0001). Group B was statistically extremely significant in improvement in pad test (p = 0.0002). Group A result showed that improvement in pelvic floor muscle strength (p = <0.0001). whereas Group B showed improvement in pelvic floor muscle strength (p = <0.0001). Group A result showed improvement in all parts of kings health questionnaire (p = 0.0001) and group B also showed improvement in kings health questionnaire (p = 0.0001) Intra group analysis reviled one hour pad test, KHQ, PFM strength considered significant in both groups.
Conclusion: The study concluded that structured exercises protocol along with IFT and bladder training was equally effective in reducing dribbling of urine, improvement in QOL, PFM strength.
