Aims and Objectives: To analyze cervical spine posture in female preschool teachersMethodology in Brief: 100 females were selected as per the inclusion criteria. Participants were seated on a stool with their feet on the floor. They were suitably disrobed for the markers to be placed on the ear canthus, inferior end of both the ears, C7 vertebra. Then the digital photographs from side and front were taken and analyzed on the software URTHSCSA3 to calculate the Craniovertebral angle and anterior head alignment.
Results: This study shows that there is a significant change in Craniovertebral angle, and Anterior Head Alignment.
Conclusion: This study conclude that there is a higher tendency of forward head posture and left side lateral tilting of head in preschool teachers

Background: Habitual gum chewing is considered as one of the causes which can lead to the development of Temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Previous studies have compared the effect of chewing induced masticatory muscle pain in females and males using different methods but this study compares the electromyographic behaviour of masseter muscle in females with males who do gum chewing.Aims and Objective: To compare the effect of gum chewing on masseter muscle in females with males by analyzing its electromyographic behaviour. Subjects: 60 young adults (30 females and 30 males) who do gum chewing took part in this study which was allotted to two groups: Group A- Females and Group B- Males.
Research Design: Comparative study
Methodology: The device used in this study is a single channel EMG. The subjects were given chewing gum and asked to chew gum at least one hour before coming for the study. All monitoring was performed with the patients in a sitting position. Two self-adhesive surface electrodes were utilized and placed on the midsubstance of muscle belly of right masseter muscle in line with muscle fibers. The EMG recording of masseter muscle was done at most comfortable position of jaw i.e., at rest position and the EMG activity was recorded after 30 seconds.
Data Analysis: Data are expressed as mean, standard deviation and 95% confidence interval. The independent t- test or Levene's test for equality of variances was used to determine the normal distribution of the variance (P < 0.05).
Results: The independent t-test indicates a significant increase in the motor activity of the masseter muscle in females than in males as t-test reveal statistically reliable difference between the mean number of POST TEST - A has (M = 2.171, s = 101.76) and that the POST TEST - B has (M = 1.62, s = 75.57), t(58) = 2.367, P = .05.
Conclusion: Electromyographic behaviour of the masseter muscle in individuals who do gum chewing is found to be significantly increased in females than in males. This can result in the development of the signs and symptoms of the temporomandibular disorders. Therefore, it can be concluded from the present study that one should avoid gum chewing especially females on the regular basis so as to prevent their jaw from the risk of developing TMD at an early age.

Objective: To examine the Electromyographic (EMG) amplitude of the gluteus medius (GM) muscles bilaterally during forward and lateral step up exercises.
Method and procedure: 50 female subjects were selected with age group between 18-23 years on the basis of inclusion criteria. Electromyographic activity of the right and left lower extremity was recorded during the forward step-up and lateral step-up in ascent phase as well as in descent phase.
Results and conclusion: It was seen that Step-up exercises are effective in activating the gluteus medius muscle, with lateral step-up exercises requiring greater gluteus medius muscle activation than forward step-up exercises on the basis of mean values. Further this study has found that the exercises programs for hip abductor muscle strengthening should preferentially include lateral over forward step-up exercises, since lateral stability is more required as compared to forward stability in falls prevention, hence these exercises should be started at early adulthood, so as to decrease the incidence of fall in older age.
