Aims and Objectives: To determine whether the use of core stability exercises on Swiss ball for LBPgives better results.Hypothesis: Core stability exercises on Swiss ball will be more effective in long term improvement in chronic low back pain.
Study Design: Experimental.
Subjects: 30 subjects with chronic low back pain participated in the study.
Methodology: Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria subjects were included in the study. Convenient samplings was done for patients with random allocation into the following two groups:
GROUP A : (Experimental Group) exercises on the Swiss ball (15 patients).
GROUP B : ( Control Group) conventional treatment (15 patients). /
Conclusion: The present study reported significant rate of improvement with exercises done on the Swiss ball. Hence the study concludes that core stabilization exercises on Swiss ball are safe and effective in long term management of chronic low back pain.

Introduction: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common pathological condition affecting the hind foot and was first described by Wood in 1812, he attributed it to tuberculosis. By definition PF is an inflammation of the plantar fascia.Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of 820 nm Ga-Al-As diode laser in the treatment of plantar fasciitis & to establish the status of diode laser as a popular modality for the treatment of plantar fasciitis where work exposure is a causative factor
Method: Eighty (80) subjects were selected on the basis of the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were recruited randomly to either 820nm Ga-Al-As diode laser (experimental group) or dummy irradiation (placebo group).
Result: Overall results showed significant difference in VAS, FFI and DF from 0 week to 4th week in Group A indicating that the rate of improvement in Group A was more than Group B. Hence concluding the positive contribution of therapeutic modality for pain relief, increasing functional ability and increasing ROM (DF) whereas no difference was seen in (PF) ROM
Conclusion: The present study finds that LLLT using Ga-Al-As diode laser at the parameters shown is a safe and effective treatment method for the patients having plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common pathological condition affecting the hind foot and was first described by Wood in 1812, he attributed it to tuberculosis. By definition PF is an inflammation of the plantar fascia. There are lot of perpetuating factors for PF which can be divided under intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The major goal of therapy is to relieve pain and increase functional ability. Currently used treatments include complementary methods out of which LLLT is one of the most common. To conclude LLLT could produce pain relief by one or a combination of these mechanisms - collagen proliferation, anti-inflammatory effect, circulation enhancement, and peripheral nerve stimulation. Thus, there have been adequate physiological effects and evidences for the significant role of LLLT in musculoskeletal disorders. Therefore frequent use of LLLT should be undertaken in any clinical setup for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders of the foot- Plantar fasciitis.Keywords

Abstract
Key words/ AbbreviationsMPS: Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Trapezius muscle, He- Ne: Helium Neon, Ga-As: Gallium Arsenide, TP: Trigger Points LLLT: Low Level Laser Therapy, VAS: Visual Analog Scale, NDI: Neck Disability Index, Tr P: Trigger Point
Purpose
The efficacy of low level laser therapy (LLLT) in myofacial trigger points seems controversial. The aim was to clarify the effect of Helium Neon or Gallium Arsenide Laser on pain and functional ability in patients with trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle.
Methodology
The study has an experimental design. Thirty subjects (14 female, 16 male) with myofascial pain in the upper trapezius muscle were taken and randomly assigned to one of the three groups. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, subjects were included in the study. Convenient sampling with random allocation to the three groups (A, B,&C). Group A (Experimental Group) received Helium Neon Laser therapy for 3 min followed by stretching exercises for 30 sec twice a day for10 days during a period of 2 weeks. Group B (Experimental Group) received Gallium Arsenide laser therapy followed by stretching exercises in the similar way as group A. Group C (Controlled Group) received only stretching exercises as The patients filled the VAS and NDI scale on zero, fifth and tenth day respectively to check the level of improvement.
Results
The data was analysed using the software SPSS 12.0. No significant difference was seen in VAS and NDI from 0 to 2nd week between the 3 groups. In result between the groups, Group C was found more effective than the other two groups. Stretching alone has positive, therapeutic effect on the underlying musculoskeletal trigger points. Within the groups, group B i.e. He-Ne laser with Stretching showed significant results from 0 to 2nd week and from 1st to 2nd week. Group A i.e. Ga-As with stretching showed significant improvement from 0 to 2nd week.
Conclusion
The study concludes that n o significant difference in the effects of He-Ne laser application with stretching and Ga- As laser with stretching when compared to stretching alone. This study does not conclude that stretching is an effective intervention as significant difference in the rate of improvement was found in group which received He-Ne laser with stretching. The duration over which accumulation of rate of improvement took place was small.
Clinical significance
No significant rate of improvement in patients receiving (He-Ne + Stretching) and (Ga-As + Stretching). Thus, both the modalities are not beneficial for the treatment of myofascial trigger points. However, stretching is the main stay as the treatment of myofascial trigger point. It can be given as an auto therapy to patients as home programme.

1. To find the effectiveness of conventional treatment in cervical radiculopathy. 2. To find the effectiveness of NM in combination with CT on pain in subjects with cervical radiculopathy. 3. To compare the efficacy between the two.
Hypothesis
There will be a significant reduction in pain in subjects with cervical radiculopathy by using NM in combination with CT.
Study Design
Experimental.
Subjects
This study was done on subjects of age group 25-50 years. Sample size: 40 subjects divided into two groups, Group-A had 20 subjects, Group-B 20 subjects.
Methodolgy
In Group-A all subjects received CT for 15 minutes. Before traction hot packs were given to the patient for 10 minutes. In Group-B all subjects were given CT and neural mobilization of MN. Method of mechanical CT was same as in Group- A.
Conclusion
The present study provides evidence that neural mobilization in combination with CT is an effective treatment in improving ROM and decreasing pain in cervical radiculopathy patients.

Purpose: Comparing the effect of the laptops with desktops on the working posture and self reported musculoskeletal system.
Objective: To determine the extent to which health problems associated with laptops, and the risk factors involved. How do these risk factors compare with those using full sized desktop.
Methodology: The study was done on randomly selected sample from different age group of people. Sample size was 135 respondents from 3 different places (Haldwani, Pantnagar and Delhi). Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics.
Results: It has been observed that Length of working hours have strong association with suffering.(.729) It has also been observed that age of the computer users is having a considerable effect on the upper back pain (.381). Out of 47 laptop users 37 have reported that they are suffering with some pain, fatigue or numbness. i.e. 78 per cent of laptop users are suffering from some kind of pain in comparison to 28 per cent of desktop users.
Conclusion: The study showed the ill effect of laptop on posture is more when compared with desktop. The musculoskeletal problems are more reported by the laptop users as compared to desktop users.
