Title: Effectiveness of Manual Soft Tissue Mobilization vs Mechanical Therapy on Postpartum Knee Joint Pain and Function: A Randomized Trial Authors: Mohini, Sharma; Neha, Chauhan; Mangalam, Kumari; Panka, Verma; Deepak Kumar, Pradhan Abstract: Background: Postpartum knee joint pain is a prevalent issue among women, often exacerbated by physiological changes during and after pregnancy. Research indicates that knee pain affects many postpartum females, with various contributing factors. Research indicates that lower extremity pain, including knee pain, often begins during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, suggesting biomechanical factors play a significant role. Soft tissue mobilization therapy and mechanical or electrotherapy both have proven to be beneficial in improving pain and function. Objective: Hence the study aimed to compare the effect of soft tissue mobilization and mechanical therapy on postpartum knee pain and function. Materials & Methods: The study included 60 postpartum women (30 in each group). Both the group participants received 8 weeks of treatment as per the protocol following the random allocation. Results: The result revealed that both the mechanical therapy and soft tissue mobilization have significantly improved knee outcomes (KOOS) following the intervention (p < 0.05). however, the manual therapy treatment was superior to the mechanical therapy in terms of improving pain and function. Conclusion: The study concludes that manual therapy treatments can be chosen over mechanical treatments to improve knee joint function among postpartum women.

The Added Effect of Respiratory Training on Stabilometric, Respiratory and Agility Outcomes Among Recreational Athletes: an Experimental Design

Title: The Added Effect of Respiratory Training on Stabilometric, Respiratory and Agility Outcomes Among Recreational Athletes: an Experimental Design Authors: Band, Kanchan; Verma, Pankaj; Pradhan, Deepak Kumar Abstract: Background: Diaphragm activation plays a crucial role in various function activities through the adequate core muscle setup. In order to bring a change in balance, agility, and respiratory outcomes in recreational athletes, the role of combined diaphragm and balance training is still under debate. Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the added effect of respiratory training on balance training in recreational athletes. Methods: Forty-two male recreational athletes were randomized into either the balance training group alone or the added respiratory training group. Result: The result of the study revealed that the agility, balance, and respiratory outcomes were improved significantly (p < 0.05) in the combined respiratory and balance training group. However, in the balance training group seperately, the respiratory and agility outcomes did not improve significantly (p > 0.05), but the balance outcomes improved significantly (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The study concludes that additional respiratory training can help enhance respiratory and agility outcomes compared to balance training alone.
