Multi-touch smartphones are used for a wide variety of tasks, including accessing the Internet, social media, etc. Trigger points (TrPs), causes referred pain in characteristic areas for hand and forearm muscles. Latent TrPs cause stiffness and limitation of ROM but no pain. Self Myofascial release (SMFR) is a simple and effective technique in which the therapy is done by the patient themselves often using a tool. Objectives: To find out the effectiveness of Self Myofascial Release therapy and Educational booklet among college students with latent trigger points. Methodology: 120 subjects, male and female having latent TrPs with mean age 22.3 (±2.36), fulfilling the selection criteria were included. Subjects were examined to find out latent trigger point PPT with help of Pressure Algometer on muscles of hand. Subjects were instructed SMFR therapy via tennis ball (2 mins, twice a day for 2 weeks) on the affected muscles. Post test examination of PPT was taken. Result: The mean age was calculated to be 22.3 (±2.36) were analyzed. Right hand Adductor Pollicis muscle and Left hand 1st dorsal interrosei muscle was found to be most affected (p < .00001) and Opponens pollicis on both sides were least affected. Educational booklet was given for creating awareness and was found to be helpful. Conclusion: Smartphones with greater dimensions promotes predominant usage of thumb while typing. SMFR and Educational booklet appears to be effective in reducing pain and addictive behaviour among Smartphone users.Keywords

‘In an organization Rewards can help create the right employee - management team environment. Also create an atmosphere that is encouraging and favorable to achieving the contributions and efforts an organization need. But sometimes, same rewards and recognition when awarded to the employees who give finishing touch in his/her job, creates an environment of chaos among employees who really worked very hard.
It is through the organization's reward system that good employees are attracted to the organization; they decide to stay within the organization and then consciously decide to perform well. Employees perform at the level at which the organization rewards them. People continue to do what they have been rewarded for doing. This is a form of positive reinforcement. Yet managers must know what rewards mean the most to which employees in order to be the most effective. This study aims at studying the pros and cons of rewards when not given to the right person. A detailed knowledge of the topic is gained by secondary research backed by primary data.
