This study aimed to determine the efficacy of physio-yogic exercises in reducing pain and disability, increasing range of motion, and improving quality of life in Indian overhead athletes with rotator cuff tendinopathy. Methods: Sample from 45 athletes was divided into three groups: scapular recruitment exercises, physio-yogic exercises, and yoga asanas. Pre-intervention readings of the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), Athlete Quality of Life Scale (ALQS), and Shoulder Active Range of Motion (AROM) were taken at day 1 and post-intervention readings were taken at the end of week 8. The paired Student's t-test was used to compare the values of the outcome measures for the preintervention and postintervention within the groups. Analysis of variance was used to compare the mean values of change in the outcome measures from preintervention to postintervention between the groups. Post hoc test was conducted to compare the postintervention values of the outcome measures between the groups. Results: Total scores of SPADI (p < 0.0001), ALQS (p < 0.0001), and Shoulder AROM (p < 0.0001) demonstrated statistically significant improvements in the physio-yogic exercise group. Conclusion: The physio-yogic exercise protocol for rotator cuff tendinopathy is a unique regimen that combines the positive effects of yoga asanas and the advantages of scapular recruitment exercises. Thus, the physio-yogic exercise protocol can further promote the rehabilitation program for rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Deteriorating sleep quality during the pandemic is one such common manifestation, that further affects the general well-being. Therefore, safe non pharmacological treatments are warranted, and the practice of suryanamaskar is one such intervention. Aim: To find the effectiveness of suryanamaskar on sleep quality and general well-being among young adults. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted in Physiotherapy Department at Ashirwad Bhagwat Multispecialty Clinic, Sonipat, Haryana, from March 2021 to July 2021. A total of 30 young adults were enrolled in the study and randomly divided into two groups of 15 participants each. The experimental group practiced 8 weeks of suryanamaskar yogic exercise, also known as sun salutations, which comprises of 12 different postures performed with controlled breathing. The control group performed 20 mins ...

Rounded Shoulder Posture (RSP) is one such clinical manifestation that deforms the normal relationship of various structures. Different treatment protocols have been devised for correcting RSP; however, postural changes in the musculoskeletal system can also be addressed by focusing on muscular imbalances elsewhere in the biomechanical kinetic chain. Aim: To analyse and investigate the efficacy of ankle muscle stretching and strengthening exercises in enhancing the correction of RSP in young adults. Materials and Methods: The present pilot study was conducted at Amity Institute of Physiotherapy in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, and Prime Hospital and Ortho Centre in Faridabad, Haryana, India, from January 2021 to July 2021. A total of 30 young adults with RSP were randomly allocated into two groups of 15 each. Group 1 (control group) rece...
