Background: Population based studies showed that a lifetime prevalence of neck pain was 70% and a point prevalence was between 12-34%. Most common causes of neck pain include:- myogenic positional faults, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, ankylosing spondylitis, fractures, torticollis, paget’s disease, neurogenic causes as well as soft tissue injuries, vertebral tumor. Backward walking has shown potential benefits in lengthening of posterior muscular chain and stretching the posterior myofascial. There is greater amount of hip extension and knee flexion in backward walking as compared to forward walking. As there is greater amount of hip extension, there occurs greater amount of extension of lumbar spine which loads up the facet joint opening up the disc space. The unloading of the discs occurred may lead to reduction in the pain.
Objectives: To study the effect of backward walking in subjects with mechanical neck pain
Method: Ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Ethical Committee. 38 subjects were selected between the age group 20 to 40 years suffering from mechanical neck pain from 1 month. Male and female subjects were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pre values of numeric pain rating scale and cervical lordotic index were taken. Study was carried out for 5 days for 1 week. Post data analysis was note and data analysis was done.
Result: A statistical analysis using paired t test within the group comparison was done and conclusions was estimated. Result found from analysis was significant.
Conclusion: There was a reduction in pain status and cervical curve between the values of pre study and post study. Hence, this study concludes that there is effectiveness in backward walking in subjects with mechanical neck pain

Aim: To Study short term effect of Isolytic contraction on Hamstring flexibility in asymptomatic subjects with hamstring tightness with respect to active knee extension test, Straight Leg Raise test and Lumbar Lordosis Index.
Objectives: The Objectives of the study are as follows:(1) To find effect of Isolytic contraction on hamstring flexibility. (2) To find effect of Isolytic contraction on static and dynamic hamstring flexibility.
Method: This study was conducted for the duration of 6 months. 300 subjects of age 20 to 40 years were screened out of which 276 subjects were selected for the study depending on the inclusive and exclusive criteria. Asymptomatic subjects with AKT <20 degree in the age group of 20 to 40 years were included in the study. These subjects were then divided into 2 groups Pre-treatment assessment and Post-treatment assessment were recorded.
Results: Statistically significant differences in the AKT, SLR, and LI were seen between the two groups. AKT (Right) It indicated that it was extremely significant (p<0.0001) and (p = 0.0079) in the interventional group subjects. AKT (Left) It indicated that it was extremely significant (p < 0.0001) and (p = 0.6384) in the interventional group subjects. SLR (Right) It indicated that it was extremely significant (p<0.0001) and (p = 0.1199) in the interventional group subjects. SLR (Right) It indicated that it was extremely significant (p < 0.0001) and (p = 0.2819) in the interventional group subjects. Intra group analysis of these values within the group was done using Wilcoxon test and the Inter group analysis between the groups was done by Mann- Whitney test.
Conclusion: The study results concluded that there was a significant result using isolytic contraction on hamstring flexibility in asymptomatic subjects having hamstring tightness with respect to Active knee extension test, Straight leg raise test and Lumbar lordosis index.

Background: Water based exercise are significant in improving both static as well as dynamic balance. Elderly subjects already are known to have decreased balance. Changes in the musculoskeletal system are one of the major causes of decreased balance. Physiotherapy regimen is important in improving both static and dynamic balance in elderly. Aquatic therapy is painless and easy way to improve balance in geriatric. However, despite its widespread knowledge of importance of aquatic therapy in improvement of balance, the efficacy of aquatic therapy in elderly is limited. Purpose: The aim of this systematic review is to analyze the importance of aquatic therapy on fall perspective in elderly population. Methods: The authors searched Google Scholar and PubMed from 1996 to 2017. Only downloadable randomized controlled trials (15), randomized clinical trials (14) and experimental studies (3) were included in the study. Results: The duration of treatment varied significantly in comparison to various studies. Subgroup analysis was performed on factors considered for measuring of fall risk parameters in elderly subjects. Conclusion: The result of the present study shows strong evidence to support the water based exercises in which Hydrokineitic therapy showed significant reduction in kinesiophobia and fall risk rate. Hence the therapy can be considered effective for geriatric population.
