Introduction Normative values of grip and pinch strength are used to determine the effect treatment, assess patients’ initial limitation provide a baseline for re-assessment patient progress. Data gathered from western populations cannot be reference in Indian due variations genetic, environmental nutritional factors. Methods A convenience sample 1005 healthy adults was recruited this descriptive study. Grip were measured with elbow positioned at 0°, 45°, 90° full flexion using JAMAR...

Pelvic and hip motion are pivotal in maintaining postural control energy efficient gait. An insight into influence of age gender on the coupled pelvis gait-cycle will guide clinical rehabilitation strategies pertinent technology-design for specific age-groups. Therefore, present study evaluated pelvic hip-joint gait kinematics healthy females males across adult-hood. Following signed-informed consent, 3-planes during stance-phase were measured using 12-camera system 2 force-plates, 200...

Daily living physical activities of rural pregnant women, across most continents in the world, involve adoption high-flexion postures like deep-squat. Deep-squat elicits substantial activation major trunk and lower extremity muscles. Adequate strength muscles is known to facilitate forward-downward propulsion baby during labour. Therefore, current study aimed explore influence overall activity including squat exposure on lower-extremity muscle labour outcomes urban primigravida women....

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to provide reference values for grip and pinch strength healthy children adolescents in India. METHODS:Grip were recorded 900 participants stratified into 5 chronological age groups (5–6, 7–9, 10–12, 13–15 16–18 years). Grip s trength measured using a Jamar Dynamometer Martin vigorimeter. RESULTS: difference between significant (p< 0.001 respectively). A linear rise noted from 5–6 years years. Moderate strong positive association observed upper extremity...

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is known to cause impaired balance and eventually increased risk of fall. Yogasanas characterized by slow, gentle transitions into postures with a varying base support focus on body awareness during movement hold potential for training control. Therefore, the current study aimed evaluate effect structured Yogasana intervention compared conventional exercise static dynamic performance among people diabetic neuropathy.: Thirty-five DPN aged 42-70 years were...

Physical inactivity in Indians is leading to an increase noncommunicable disorders at early age life. Early identification and quantification of the lack physical activity using simple reliable exercise testing need hour. The incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) externally paced widely used for evaluation capacity. Currently normative values available clinical reference are generated from Western populations. Hence, study was conducted find ISWT healthy Indian adults (17-75 years).A...

Post-COVID residual dysfunction has been observed in a majority of people, with reduction cardiopulmonary endurance emerging as primary symptom. The Six-Minute Walk Test is simple, reliable, and valid test that used routinely on people chronic respiratory dysfunction. In the current COVID-19 pandemic situation, reference values predictive equation developed from large sample across age group, 6 to 75 years, will enable one establish goals treatment for post-COVID rehabilitation.Following...

Introduction Children with Down syndrome present joint laxity, hypotonia and shortened hands resulting in reduced grip pinch strength. Limited information on strength children motivated this study. Methods A convenience sample of 30 (9–16 years) from special schools age- gender-matched healthy school was studied. Grip were measured according to ASHT standard procedure using JAMAR® dynamometer B&amp;L gauge. Anthropometric data upper limb subject characteristics recorded. Results had...

Classical Indian dance has earned recognition across the globe; however, health of dancers who are carrying forth this heritage not received due attention. Therefore, study aimed to explore musculoskeletal pain and injury prevailing among in Mumbai Mangalore. A secondary aim was compare tolerance levels between non-dancers. Fifty-one trained different traditional Western forms 164 recreational were recruited as participants. An indigenous questionnaire designed validated by physical...

Wearable inertial sensor-based motion analysis systems are promising alternatives to standard camera-based capture for the measurement of gait parameters and joint kinematics. These wearable sensors, unlike gold systems, find usefulness in outdoor natural environment along with confined indoor laboratory-based due miniature size wireless data transmission. This study reports validation our developed (i-Sens) system against system. Gait was performed at self-selected speed on non-disabled...

Cricket-bowling performance is known to be influenced by speed of ball release and accuracy. Currently, training sessions typically involve fielding-specific drills conditioning exercises. Scientific evidence for inclusion a comprehensive yoga intervention in daily exercise remains unexplored. The present study explored the effect on bowling physical fitness cricket bowlers. Sports testing were conducted among 60 non-elite recreational-club male players aged 13-25 years. was e valuated using...

The current study aimed to explore Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) profiles among children with cerebral palsy (CP) at various Classification System (GMFCS) levels in a low-resource setting.Ambulatory capacity of CP was classified using GMFCS levels. Functional ability all participants measured GMFM-88. Seventy-one ambulatory (61% males), were studied after signed informed consent obtained from parents and assent older than 12 years.Children setting had 12-44% lower GMFM scores...

Introduction Dexterity assessment is an integral component of hand function evaluation. The Minnesota Rate Manipulation Test a valid and reliable tool to evaluate manual dexterity has been used study prognosis therapy. Information available on its reference values limited. Reference are required interpret, set realistic treatment goals, assess the ability return employment. Therefore, was studied in healthy Indian adults generate values. Methods A descriptive conducted 900 subjects divided...
