Objective: To find out correlation between head/neck posture and trigger points in upper trapezius muscle in frozen shoulder subjects.
Method: A total of 48 subjects (28 females and 20 males) between the age group 40-60 years with stage 2 of frozen shoulder were selected for the assessment of head/neck posture and trigger points in upper trapezius. Outcome assessment for head/neck posture included cranial vertical angle (CVA), cranial rotation angle (CRA); upper trapezius trigger points were explored through palpation. Both the readings were compared and analysed by Pearson correlation test using SPSS (version 20).
Result: Poor correlation between CVA and upper trapezius trigger points-(r=0.1647) whereas correlation between CRA and trigger points in upper trapezius-(r=-0.0972) in subjects with frozen shoulder which was statistically insignificant.
Conclusion: There is weak influence of head/neck posture and trigger points in upper trapezius. i.e. there is no greater/smaller deviational change in the forward head posture (FHP) in association with trigger points in upper trapezius in frozen shoulder subjects.

Objective: To find out the effect of dance therapy on stress and anxiety in working women.
Method: A total of 41 women between age group 25 to 40 years were randomly selected to receive aerobic dance therapy. The program was conducted for 4 weeks, scheduled three days in a week, with a session of 10-20 minutes each day. Outcome assessment included perceived stress scale (PSS) and Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAMA) which was recorded before and after completion of sessions.
Result: There was a reduction in levels of stress and anxiety after 4 weeks of aerobic dance therapy (p value < 0.0001) which was found to be statistically significant; whereas correlation between working hours and scores of PSS (r value -0.16) and HAMA (r value -0.06) Scales were statistically insignificant.
Conclusion: On the basis of results of our study we concluded that aerobic dance therapy was effective in reducing stress and anxiety in working women.
