Objective: To study the Difference in Two Point Discrimination values in Dominant and Non Dominant Hand in healthy young adults.
Materials and Method: A commercially available aesthiometer was used to determine limits of twopoint discrimination sensitivity in skin areas on the subject's dominant side and nondominant side of young healthy adults.
Result: In this study, mean two-point discrimination values on right hand varied from 0.15 mm to 0.19 mm. and that of left hand varied from 0.14mm to 0.19mm.An important observation was that normative values of two-point discrimination were higher over the right hand and were lower over left hand. Also, study was done between males and females. Mean two-point discrimination values in Males varied from 0.14 mm to 0.20 mm and that of Females varied from 0.13 mm to 0.18 mm. The importance in this observation was that normative values of two-point discrimination were higher in males and were lower in females.
Conclusion: This study concluded that considerable differences do exists in normative values for Two Point Discrimination ability in the dominant and non dominant hand in a sample of normal healthy males and females

Objective: TO study nontarget and target-oriented functional reach among elders female at risk of falls.
Materials and Method: The distance of the distal end of the third metacarpal after the subject reached forward was obtained and recorded. The difference between the final and initial measurement of 3 trials was recorded.The maximum distance achieved by the subject beyond her FR score was recorded as the TOFR and average of 0-7 trial was recorded.
Result: In this study; Paired samples t (2-tailed) test shows two variants are different and highly significant and mild correlation between two scores using spearman's correlation coefficient. (r=.66, p<.005).
Conclusion: This study concluded that altering the functional reach test by providing a target would produce different but mild correlated score.

Objective: To examine the cardiovascular effect of repetitive McKenzie flexion and extension exercises of lumbar spine in standing and lying position in prehypertensive individuals.
Materials and Method: All the variables i.e. heart rate (measured with polar heart rate monitor), blood pressure (measured with sphygmomanometer) and rate pressure product (RPP=-Heart rate × Systolic Blood Pressure ÷ 100) were assessed before and immediately after the exercise and recorded on data collection form.
Results: It can, therefore, be summarized that McKenzie exercise of "extension in standing" is the least hemodynamically stressful and therefore it is the least risky and "flexion in lying" is the most stressful and hemodynamically demanding exercise.
Conclusion: Present study reveals that all McKenzie exercises of lumbar spine i.e. FIS, EIS, FIL and EIL cause significant increase in heart rate, blood pressure and rate pressure product in prehypertensive individuals, but FIL has the greatest cardiovascular effect.
