Background: Cerebral palsy is the most common pediatric neurological problem, affecting the total development of the child either directly, relating to sensory motor function, or indirectly through associated problems including Nystagmus, seizure disorders etc. Among various physical impairments, loss of hand function has a profound effect on individual's life. Hence, hand rehabilitation becomes an important therapeutic goal in these patients (13).
Objective: To examine the effects of intermanual training of hand on skill generalization in infantile Spastic Hemiplegic Cerebral palsy.
Methods: A group of 40 subjects will be selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Preintervention measures outcome parameters will be Fugl Meyer Scale, Hand- held Dynamometer and Time taken to complete the task and No. of Pegs placed using left hand in 30 seconds were noted and No. of Cheese cubes dropped (Error) in chop sticks and spoon activities.
Result: The study consisted of two groups, A (Experimental) and B (Control). Each group consisted of 15 subjects. Parametric statistic was used to compare the left hand performance, in terms of time taken. Member of errors and number of pegs, on spoon and square pegboard activity before and after the inter manual training to right hand. Pre and post date of left hand performance were analyzed with paired t-test within groups and unpaired t-test was used to compare pre and post date between groups. The significant level of the test was set at P<0.05.
Conclusion: The findings from this study suggest that in a sample of childhood stroke patients, intermanual transfer effects occur in terms of performance duration and number of errors during occupationally embedded tasks.

Background: Low back pain among the athletes is common and can be extremely challenging for athletic trainer and health professional to assess, treat and rehabilitate. In low back pain, there is prominent loss in endurance occurs. Core strengthening will be effective in increasing endurance thus decreases pain and disability.
Objective: To examine the effects of core strengthening in recreational weight lifters with low back pain.
Methods: This 6 week study was conducted on 30 patients with low back pain. These subjects were divided into two groups with 15 subjects in each group. One group received extension exercises, other group received core strengthening with extension exercises.
Result: Statistically significant improvement were observed post exercise in both group for VAS and oswestery disability index .The inter group analysis revealed greater significant reduction in VAS , Disability index who were given core strengthening and extension exercises.
Conclusion: core strengthening training found to be effective in reducing pain and disability with a 6 weeks intervention.
