Study Objective: Effect of Ultrasound and Exercise combined and Exercise alone in the Treatmentof Chronic back pain.
<p>Design: Pre & post test control group design.</p>
<p>Method and Measurements: 30 patients from Raj Nursing Home [Age group 25-65 yrs] who were
diagnosed with Low back pain, with onset >1-3 months (chronic) were randomly assigned to either
group A receiving US and Exercise combined or group B receiving Exercise alone. Treatment was
given for 10 session for the period of 4 week. Before treatment and after 4 weeks of treatment pain
was assessed on VAS and MPQ.</p>
<p>Results: Subjects in-group A that received Ultrasound and exercise showed greater Improvement in
pain compared with the exercise group on 4th week compared with pre treatment. (p <0.050)</p>
<p>Conclusion: The result of study suggests that both Ultrasound and exercise improves the symptoms
of chronic back pain. Exercise alone improved the pain symptoms but was too small to reach
satisfactory outcome for patients. Based on these results Ultrasound and Exercise should be the
treatment of choice for chronic back pain rather than Exercise alone.</p>

Study Objective: To compare effects of Deep friction massage and Ultrasound Therapy combined and Deep Friction Massage alone in supraspinatus tendinitis.
Design: Quasi experimental
Method and Measurements: 30 patients from RNH [Age group 20-70 yrs] who were diagnosed with supraspinatus tendinitis, with onset ?1-3 months (chronic) were randomly assigned to either group A receiving DFM and US combined or group B receiving DFM alone. Treatment was given for 6 consecutive settings. Before treatment and after 6th day of treatment pain was assessed on VAS and MPQ.
Results: Subjects in-group A that received Ultrasound and deep friction massage showed greater. Improvement in pain compared with the deep friction massage group on 6th day compared with pre treatment.
Conclusion: The result of study suggests that Ultrasound and deep friction massage improves the pain symptoms of supraspinatus tendinitis. Deep friction massage alone improved the pain symptoms but was too small to reach satisfactory outcome for patients. Based on these results Ultrasound and deep friction massage should be the treatment of choice for supraspinatus tendinitis rather than deep friction massage alone.

Study Objective: To compare the effects of superficial heat and cold applications during static stretching on plantar flexors extensibility.
Design: Pre test and post test control group.
Method and measurements: 30 volunteers of 18-30 years participated in study. Subjects were randomly and equally assigned to moist heat pack and static stretching (group A), ice pack and static stretching (group B) and static stretching (group C). Subjects in each group were given stretching to plantar flexors with 1/3rd of body weight once a day for 5 days a week for three weeks. ROM was measured before and after treatment session on the day of treatment and the end of each week.
Results: Means and S.D of active dorsiflexion ROM after 3 weeks were 19.70±2.21for group A, 22.50±2.50 for group B and 16.10±2.80 for group C. ANOVA demonstrates that there was a significant difference in pre and post intervention ADFROM in all the three groups (P <0.05).No statistically significant difference was found between group A and B, but when they were compared with group C, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) for each group comparison.
Conclusion: All groups in study showed increase in the extensibility of plantar flexors, resulting in increase in ADFROM. Both the cryotherapy and thermotherapy significantly improved ROM; however, there was no difference between two treatment conditions.
