It results in pain in the heel and bottom of the foot that is usually most severe with the first steps of the day or following a period of rest. Pain is also frequently brought on by bending the foot and toes up towards the shin. The pain typically comes on gradually and it affects both feet in about one-third of cases. The researches review the literature pertaining to types of treatment and their efficacy. This article presents on overview on current knowledge on plantar fasciitis and focuses on etiology, diagnosis and treatment strategies, conservative treatment.

This study examined the prevalence of low back pain among students undergoing training to become physiotherapists. Aim: To study the prevalence of low back pain in physiotherapy students. Methodology: This study was conducted in VSPM'S college of physiotherapy. I identified 40 physiotherapy in the college who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Conclusion: After survey on physiotherapy students we found 80% of students were suffering from low back pain. We found positive association between the duration and the following activities done in past months.

Its purpose is to improve the performance of systems by improving human machine interaction. This can be done by 'designing-in' a better interface or by 'designing-out' factors in the work environment, in the task or in the organization of work that degrade human-machine performance. Systems can be improved by • Designing the user-interface to make it more compatible with the task and the user. This makes it easier to use and more resistant to errors that people are known to make. • Changing the work environment to make it safer and more appropriate for the task. • Changing the task to make it more compatible with user characteristics. • Changing the way work is organized to accommodate people's psychological and social needs. This article presents on overview on current knowledge on work place ergonomics.

Little is known about the impact of BMI on static postural stability in different age groups (children, adolescents, middle age, and elderly). Objective: To find out correlation of BMI in double leg stance, single leg stance, tandem stance in different age groups. Method: 400 individuals were subjected to static balance tests using balance error scoring system. The subjects were ask to stand on firm and foam surface in three different stance (double leg stance, single leg stance, tandem stance) in eyes open and eyes close position for 20 seconds and the number of errors was noted. Mean, standard deviation was calculated, Pearson's correlation was used to find out correlation of BMI and three different stance in various age groups. Results: There is a significant correlation between static balance and BMI in middle age adults and elderly. There was a positive relationship in double leg stance (EC) single leg stance (EO & EC) and tandem stance (EO & EC) on firm surface. Whereas on foam surface there is positive relationship in double leg stance (EC) single leg stance (EO & EC) and tandem stance (EO & EC). In elderly population on firm surface there was positive relationship in double leg stance, single leg stance and tandem stance. (EO & EC), and on foam surface there is positive relationship in double leg stance, single leg stance, and tandem stance (EO & EC). Conclusion: Higher BMI level is associated with poor balance.

Thus the structural change can results in reduction of the cervical range of motion. Objective: The objective of the current study is to find out whether there is a cervical extension deficit and its prevalence among the current young adults. Methodology: It is a cross-sectional study design. 436 subjects of both genders between age group 18-30 years were included. Cervical extension range of motion and numbers of years of smartphone usage and neck pain were assessed and correlated. Results: Results showed that 167 of subjects had less than 60 0 extension in which 90 subjects showed 55 0-59 0 extension deficits, 60 subjects showed 50 0-54 0 extension deficits. Finally 14 subjects had less than 50 0 cervical extension deficits. Conclusion: The results concluded that there is a moderate positive correlated between the numbers of years of Smartphone usage and cervical extension deficit with history of neck pain.

Methods We piloted a rehabilitation service delivery model through the Mahatma Gandhi Mission Institute of Health Sciences, in five villages. The institute performed participatory rural appraisal and focus group discussions with stakeholders to identify general issues in village life that could affect delivery. To integrate rehabilitation service delivery into the existing primary care system, a team from the institute developed a strategic plan through multidisciplinary clinical meetings. A rehabilitation team conducted a door-to-door survey and referred people needing rehabilitation services to the outreach visits the team was making to the primary health centre twice a week. If needed, patients could be referred to a university teaching hospital for tertiary-level care. Findings The rural appraisal identified lack of awareness, inadequate workforce and infrastructure as key issues for rehabilitation services delivery. In response, we conducted awareness campaigns and formed a rehabilitation team consisting of personnel and students from the institute. Between 2018 and 2021, the team provided care to 1800 patients, of which half (900 patients) had musculoskeletal disorders. After rehabilitation, 360 (40%) of these 900 patients performed daily-living activities and continued to work with reduced pain within 2-3 days after rehabilitation. The team provided antenatal care to 1629 pregnant women with musculoskeletal pain or stress urinary incontinence. Conclusion Provision of rehabilitation services built awareness about physiotherapy, developed a rehabilitation care pathway and established a need for regular services. Using existing resources of the institute and involving students rendered the model sustainable.

Its purpose is to improve the performance of systems by improving human machine interaction. This can be done by ‘designing-in’ a better interface or by ‘designing-out’ factors in the work environment, in the task or in the organization of work that degrade human–machine performance. Systems can be improved by • Designing the user-interface to make it more compatible with the task and the user. This makes it easier to use and more resistant to errors that people are known to make. • Changing the work environment to make it safer and more appropriate for the task. • Changing the task to make it more compatible with user characteristics. • Changing the way work is organized to accommodate people’s psychological and social needs.

However, abnormal pronation occurs when foot pronates, when actually it shouldn’t. It occurs during the half of the stance phase. The foot rolls inward when one lands their foot on surface while walking and running. The complementing structures of the ankle or foot complex permits both stability and mobility depending on conditions acting on it. This article presents on overview on current knowledge on pronated foot and focuses on biomechanics, etiology diagnosis and treatment strategies, conservative treatment.
