The cross sectional observational study design is used to study the effect of limb dominance on the median NCV of forearm segment. 30 healthy volunteers (20 Female, 10 Male) with the mean age of 23 yrs (20-26yrs) participated in the study. Edinburgh handedness inventory was used to assess the laterality of subjects. Median NCV for the forearm segment was calculated for each upper limb of 30 subjects. Comparing median NCV between dominant and non-dominant hand of right handed subjects showed no significant difference. Similar results were obtained for left handed subjects. It is concluded that limb dominance has no significant effect on median NCV.Keywords

Background: Strength training is the use of resistance to muscular contraction to build the strength, anaerobic endurance and size of skeletal muscles. A recent method utilized in strength training and one that has indicated great promise is the use of supermaximal loads through the strongest range of motion. Many involved in the pursuit of weight training to develop strength and lean muscle mass (power lifters, bodybuilders, and athletes) have long utilized partial repetitions in their training. Since 1995, with the release of the book Power Factor Training and many body-part specialty books on the same subject, the popularity of limited range exercise has increased significantly.Objectives: To study the effectiveness of Full range of motion {Group A} Versus Partial range of motion {Group B} training in development of strength.
Material and Methods: Study included 36 Normal healthy college students with age between 18-25 years. Training sessions were conducted 3 days per week for 10 weeks. Subjects were divided into 2 groups. Group A (N=18) trained with 3 Full ROM sets on the bench press. Group B (N=18) trained with 3 Partial ROM sets. The 1 RM Bench Press was used as the criterion measurement.
Results: The results were analyzed by student's t-test (Paired t-test). Group A showed significant strength improvement in strength with full ROM exercises (t =18.44, p0.05).
Conclusion: Partial ROM training can positively influence the development of maximal strength. Therefore, those involved in the strength and conditioning profession can confidently include Partial repetitions method as an adjunct to their normal training protocols.

Background and Purpose of The Study: A muscle contraction when not under volition can be made to contract very near to volitional contraction by using electrical stimulation. In fact electrical stimulation is the treatment of choice in case of muscle malfunction. There are number of article who state that the same conditioning effect as of voluntary contraction can be brought by stimulating a muscle electrically. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of both Electrical Stimulation and voluntary exercise to strengthen the biceps muscles in healthy subjects.Method: 30 healthy male subjects were divided into two groups. The Voluntary Exercise Group (n = 15) performed 15 sessions of voluntary contractions, and the Electrical Stimulation (SF) Group (n = 15) engaged in 15 sessions of electrically stimulated contractions.
Results: The voluntary Exercise Group was found to have an increase in strength significantly greater than Electrical Stimulation Group. No increase in strength was observed in Electrical Stimulation Group.
Conclusion: This study indicates that electrical stimulation is not as effective as voluntary exercise in increasing strength in muscle.

Background and Purpose of The Study: A myofascial trigger point has been described as a hyperirritable spot, usually within a taut band of skeletal muscles or in the muscles fascia. The myofascial trigger point in the upper trapezius is most commonly found at the midpoint of the upper boarder of the muscle. The objective of the study is to determine the effectiveness of ischemic compression for the treatment of myofascial trigger points in upper trapezius.Method: 30 subjects were randomly assigned to either treatment group (group 1) or a control group (group 2). Subjects in group 1 received ischemic compression on the primary trigger point followed by stretching of the upper trapezius muscle. Subjects in group 2 received active neck exercise followed by stretching. All the patients of group 1 and 2 received treatment for 7 days. Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) measured by pressure algometer was used to measure trigger point sensitivity and Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) was scored as a measure of pain intensity on day 1 and day 8 in both the groups.
Results: In the treatment group (group 1) significant improvement was evident in the pressure pain threshold values (t=7.02, p
Conclusion: Ischemic compression technique is highly effective in reducing the trigger point sensitivity and pain intensity in the trapezius muscle.
