Introduction: Grip strength is commonly used to evaluate the integrated performance of muscles by determining maximal grip force that can be produced in one muscular contraction. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of different shoulder positions on grip strength measurement in healthy individuals. Sample: 50 healthy subjects were included (19 males 31 females).Methods: Grip strength in 5 different position of shoulder flexion with elbow extension was measure with the help of Jamar dynamometer.
Data analysis: Repeated measure ANOVA and post hoc analysis was done (α=5%, p=.05).
Results: The mean grip strength in 0° flexion (64.6±2.86 lb/inch2), 45° flexion (63.82±2.92 lb/inch2), 90° flexion (66.86±3.06 lb/inch2), 135° flexion (66.17±3.05 lb/inch2) and 180° flexion (67.82±2.92 lb/ inch2). Repeated measure ANOVA showed significant differences for grip strength in 5 positions (p=.0001). Post hoc comparison by bonferroni showed that there is significant difference between 0° versus 180° (p=.048), 45° versus 90° (p=.0001), 45° versus 180° (p=.0001).
Conclusion: The study concluded that shoulder has an effect on grip strength and maximum grip strength can be obtained in 180° of shoulder flexion with elbow extension

Objective: The study investigated the effect of brief intense TENS and ice on pain relaxed elbow extension angle.Design and setting: Three sets of concentric and eccentric action induced delayed onset of the elbow flexors of non dominant hand. Pre exercise measures were recorded for relaxed elbow extension range and perceived muscle pain. Group A received ice treatment for 15 minutes, group B received brief intense TENS (100 Hz, 100 milliseconds, maximum tolerable intensity), Group C received sham TENS treatments after 48 hours of post-exercise.
Subjects: Forty five healthy male subjects
Measurements: Relaxed elbow extension angle and perceived muscle pain was recorded before exercise, before treatment after 48 hours post exercise and after treatment.
Results: Readings were compared for difference using ANOVA it was found that there was statistically significant difference p=0.045 (p
Conclusion: Cryotherapy was effective in reducing the perceived pain in elbow flexors after eccentric bouts

Study design: A randomized, counterbalanced 2x2x5 repeated measures design.
Objective: To compare the changes in triceps surae extensibility after treatments of ultrasound and prolonged long duration stretching, and stretching alone
Methods and measures: A sample of 30 healthy college age male volunteers with the mean age of 24.13 years participated in the study. Subjects were randomly grouped into ultrasound and static stretching (A), and only static stretching(B), each group includes 15 subjects. The testing occurred over a 1 week period with each subject receiving 1 treatment a day for 5 consecutive days. All of the subjects also had the range of motion measured 72 hours after the last treatment to measure the lasting effect of each treatment. The static stretch and ultrasound combined treatment consisted of subjects lying prone while receiving ultrasound for first 7 minutes of 10 minutes of static stretch for plantar flexors with 1/3 of body weight.. The control treatment consisted of the subjects lying prone to receive10 minutes of static stretch with 1/3 of body weight.
Results: Mean+SD increase in active dorsiflexion ROM after 5-days was 9.140+10 for group A and 7.460+1.10 for group B. The follow up measurement (72-hours later) was compared to the last measurement taken i.e. after the 5th day treatment session. It was found that ROM lost in group A was 2.40 and group B had lost 4.130.
Conclusion: After 5-days of continuous ultrasound and prolonged long duration stretching, ankle dorsiflexion ROM increased more than prolonged long duration stretching alone.

Objectives: Aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of motor control exercise on disability of spine in chronic low back pain.
Methods: Pretest-posttest Experimental - Group Design. 30 subjects were randomly assigned into two groups. Experimental group received motor control exercise along with the general exercise whereas control group received only general exercise. Disability questionnaire (Modified Oswestry disability questionnaire), and endurance was measured at 0 week, 2nd week, 4th week and 6th week.
Results: Motor control exercise along with General exercise significantly reduces disability and improves the endurance
Conclusion: from the result we may conclude that motor control exercise along with the general exercise is more effective than general exercise alone in rehabilitation of patient with chronic low back pain.

Background and purpose: Decreased deep neck flexor endurance has been found to be a causative as well as a contributory factor of neck pain. But it is less common to, for therapists to perform endurance testing in clinical setting. One of the main constraints for this is that literature contains little age specific data concerning normal values of deep neck flexor endurance. Lack of baseline age specific reference values is a limitation in quantification of physical performance of deep neck flexor muscles.
The purpose of the study is to establish age specific normative data of deep neck flexor endurance for asymptomatic young adults using deep neck flexor endurance test.
Study design: A normative research study design.
Subject and method: This study involved 400 asymptomatic subjects aged between 20-40 years (young adults), deep neck flexor endurance test was used to quantify static endurance. The mean and standard deviation scores were determined.
Results: Age specific normal values of deep neck flexor endurance time (mean±SD) for 20-40 years(young adults), 20-29 years(males), 30-40years(males), 20-29years(females) and 30-40 years(females) were 22.8±3.7sec., 27.5±2.4sec., 22.9±1.4sec., 21.5±2.6sec., 19.4±1.8sec. respectively. We found that overall static endurance of deep neck flexor muscles declined with advancing age among both genders.
Conclusion: This study established a set of age specific normative data of deep neck flexor endurance for young adults using deep neck flexor endurance test. These values can be used to compare patient's endurance score at intake to recognize muscle dysfunction, provide benchmarks for setting treatment goals to increase endurance capacity and provide outcome measure for evaluating success of an intervention in clinical practice.
