pregnancy. Functional outcome also improved like rolling in bed, standing, walking and performing daily activities with minimal pain as noted by the modified oswestry disability questionnaire. Though the symptoms and clinical presentation of SPD are gross and may be incapacitating, conservative physiotherapy approaches are found to be effective in antenatal period as reported by Seth S etal in a single case study. UAC Okafor and TF Sokunbi in 2009 reported in a case study that subsequent management of postpartum diastasis symphysis pubis with conservative physiotherapy, using pain modulating treatment combined with bed rest for 4 weeks, resulted in very significant improvement in pain, mobility, and gait which could not be attained when the patient had been placed on bed rest for 5 weeks without physiotherapy intervention which showed that bed rest would not be the option for relief of SPD pain°. The present study aimed for a sequence in therapy by using cryotherapy followed by TENS”, pelvic floor strengthening exercises and posture and activity modification throughout the day with the trochanteric belt in situ (Fig-3,4). The use of cryotherapy produced effect on the sensory nerves and reduced inflammation of symphysis pubis joint thus decreasing pain. TENS has been used by pregnant women for many years without any reported side effects for either the mother or baby. In fact, it has been suggested that TENS enhances placental blood flow’. In a meta-analysis of six randomized, placebo-controlled trials, transcutaneous nerve stimulation was found to relieve the symptoms of back pain. Pelvic floor strengthening exercises/ elevator exercises helps to hold the symphysis pubis joint

together providing active stability. The trochanteric belt stabilizes the joint in place that move due to laxity with the movement of the legs and various activities of daily living providing passive Stability” (fig-1, 2). Studies have found supportive binders to be ineffective in case of misaligned pubic symphysis?*?5’. However, in the present study none of the subjects showed discomfort with the support belt and no clicking was diagnosed in the initial assessment suggesting of misaligned pelvis. The participants were asked to use the trochanteric belt only during activities and notin supine resting position or during sleep. Two cases of spontaneous rupture of the symphysis pubis (SP) during delivery were reported by Dhar S and Anderton JM in 19927. The separations were associated with considerable pain, swelling, and tenderness over the symphysis pubis and were treated conservatively with bed rest, mostly in the lateral decubitus position, within pelvic binders. The patients were essentially asymptomatic and walked normally. Conservative treatment followed by early mobilization was concluded to be adequate treatment for symphysis pubis separations. In the present study subjects were functional with minimal pain by therapy and support belt which was not achieved even with complete bed rest for one week prior to intervention. It could therefore be implied that early physiotherapy intervention can help women with SPD to reduce pain and be functional instead of being bed ridden throughout pregnancy and also to resolve the after effect of the condition and for hormonal resolution effect in post partum period.

The findings of the current study revealed an improvement in some test parameters during standing in the study group after treatment compared to that before treatment and to the control group during the trials with eyes open and closed. Nearly all subjects showed a decrease in the confidence ellipse width and vertical deviation of COG after treatment. The improved test parameters in the study group during the trial with eyes closed may indicate increased deep sensory awareness by the enhanced weight bearing provided by the reciprocating gait orthosis. The results obtained can also suggest an improvement in the control of the vestibular system.

Results supine on the couch with the symptomatic upper limb in MNT-1 position with elbow in flexion as in fig 3. The therapist stood near the end of the plinth supporting the subject's head and neck. The subject was asked to follow the commands of the therapist for elbow movements. As the subject head was passively moved in translatory fashion towards the ipsilateral direction, the subject was asked to do elbow extension till the point of no increase in pain or minimally tolerated discomfort. The subject was then asked to flex the elbow while the therapist gave translatory glide till neutral. This oscillatory movement was done in three sets of ten repetitions each with a break of one min in between sets. At the end of intervention following a rest period of ten minutes, the subject was asked to mark his current pain intensity in the symptomatic area on VAS and therapist re- examined the subject by MNT-1 to ascertain and record any change in elbow extension range corresponding to P1. The same procedure was repeated for a total of five sessions over a period of seven days. After completion of treatment sessions, the subject was asked to refill CBSQ and NDI and corresponding disability scores were calculated and recorded.

Muscle Stimulator was used at Direct Current mode with point electrode as the cathode and plate electrode as the anode’. Subjects were explained that they would experience “burning” sensation and are supposed to reportas “feeling”, “yes” or “lagta hai” as soon as they just begin to perceive the sensation. They were made to experience the kind of sensation that is expected to be elicited. After the instructions were given to the subjects, the skin resistance over the dorsum as well as plantar aspect of the foot was reduced with the help of cotton and water. The inactive electrode is secured by Velcro straps to the medial aspect of leg and active electrode is applied to the 6 chosen sites in the foot. Gradually the intensity of current is raised until the patient can just start to perceive the sensation. Intensity at the point at which he/she begins to perceive the sensation is recorded. Three readings are taken from each site and average of the 3 is considered. ee ee ee es es ee: ee a | en

Thirdly, itis found that grip strength varies with age that is there is a steady increase in grip strength from younger to older children and grip strength decreased thereafter steadily with increasing age from Adults to Elderly.
Immediately after the interventions, it was found that his pain on active left shoulder external rotation got decreased from 8.3/10 to 6.5/10 (21.68%) on visual analogue scale and active shoulder external rotation improved from 38 degree to 52 degree (36.84%). Subjectively patient reported that, it was one of the best technique done on his shoulder and he never realised that he has pain in the muscle that was treated.

Table 2 : Pre and post treatment scores of Trunk Impairment Scale aspects when weight is shifted in any plane, the trunk responds with a movementto counteractthe change in the centre of gravity. Training on Swiss ball as a change in the surface stability may influence trunk muscle activity due to different biomechanical demands of the exercises and also influence anticipatory postural adjustment which may improve the trunk performance.

Table 4: Comparison of r - squared Comparison of r squared: - Comparing the values of r squared, it has been seen that proportion of variation in respiratory function parameters were more for variation in waist circumference than for variation in BMI. This study shows that there is a significant negative correlation of waist circumference and BMI on respiratory function. And the waist circumference has shown more correlation than BMI to respiratory function. (Table 4)
