Clinical symptomatology of these patients varies widely with imaging findings. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in Burdwan Medical College and Hospital. Study Population: Inclusion criteria: (a) Patient age ≥35 years (b) Clinically suffering from degenerative lumbar spine disease (c) Imaging evidence were included in the study. Exclusion criteria: (a) Traumatic lumbar spine, metastatic disease, previous neurovascular pathology, or associated lower limb fractures were excluded from the study. Sample Size: Two hundred patients were included in the study. Study Design: This was an institution-based cross-sectional study. Study Tools: All cases have undergone X-ray, but magnetic resonance imaging has been most effective. Data Analysis: For statistical analysis, we have calculated Chi-square statistic value and P value. Results: In this study, single disc involvement (49.4%) and multiple disc involvement (50.6%) pattern was equally prevalent. For single level disc changes, disc bulge was the most common pathology in our study (75%) followed by disc protrusion (25%). Among the patients with severe degree of nerve compression, 72.9% of patients had claudication. In our study, 81% of patients with anteroposterior (AP) canal diameter <8 mm had distal extremity radiculopathy. In our study, among spinal canal stenosis patients, association of AP canal diameter with motor weakness is found to be statistically significant (P = 0.0229). In patients of degenerative spondylolisthesis (DSL), occurrence of axial back pain and extremity pain as per clinical and radiographic degenerative spondylolisthesis classification (P = 0.0129) correlated well. Conclusion: There has been positive correlation between clinical and imaging finding for severe degree of disc degeneration and spinal canal stenosis but variable for DSL.","PeriodicalId":326659,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127215975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The effect of stretching versus strengthening exercise to reduce neck pain in asymptomatic adults","authors":"Venkata Nagaraj Kakaraparthi, V. Gannamaneni","doi":"10.4103/SJSM.SJSM_45_17","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/SJSM.SJSM_45_17","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose of the Study: Neck pain (NP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, with 30%–50% of the population affected every year and two out of every three individuals experiencing NP in their lifetime. Stretching has been recommended as one of the treatment techniques for patients with NP. Strengthening and fitness exercises have shown to be effective at preventing NP and reducing its severity. Neck movement is dictated by the sternocleidomastoid, longus colli, and longus capitis for flexion, a concerted effort of the splenius capitis, semispinalis, suboccipital, and trapezius for extension, and the scalenes, sternocleidomastoid, and fibers from the trapezius to control lateral bending (Jenkins, 2002). Therefore, the study attempts to compare the effect of stretching and strengthening exercises on individuals with NP in asymptomatic adults in long-term duration. Materials and Methods: The study consisted of 40 male individuals of the age group 18–35 years, who are willing to participate in the study. These individuals were divided 20 in each group. Group A received stretching exercises and Group B received strengthening exercises for a period of 4 weeks. Pain was assessed at the end of every week for 4 weeks. Results: From the results, Group A shows more significant improvement than Group B. Conclusion: The results showed that both stretching exercises and strengthening exercises had significant effect on asymptomatic NP. A highly significant statistical difference was seen in week 4 of the study in favor of Group A. Group A dominated over Group B in all the weeks of the study thus showed that stretching exercises were more beneficial than strengthening exercise in relieving NP.","PeriodicalId":326659,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132232240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hypothesis: The anthropometric measurements are risk factors for noncontact ACL injury. Materials and Methods: This study was held in a retrospective fashion, the population will include patients from our institution with a sample size of 2000 cases that will be filtered according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data analysis was performed by expertise. Data Collection: We used medical records of patient with noncontact ACL injury reconstruction for analysis and review. Data included anthropometric measurements (height, mass, gender, and age at the time of surgery). The targeted population for the study thus includes the following; patients who sustained ACL injuries. We obtained data from records of around 2000 patients with noncontact ACL injuries from 1996 to 2012, which were filtered according to inclusion and exclusions criteria. Inclusion criteria include (1) patients with noncontact ACL injury and (2) subjects with an age range from 25 to 55. Exclusion criteria are (1) traumatic ACL injury, (2) partial ACL injuries, (3) previous ACL reconstructions, (4) multiligamentous injuries, and (5) acute or previous hamstring injuries. Data Analysis: In our analysis, the sample size was 468 subjects, 212 among contacts (45.3%), and 256 among noncontact (54.7%) although we could have benefit from a large number of female subjects (male 98.9%, female 1.1%) to compare the results with male subjects, the current number that we have is proved to be a good predictive model. The mean age of subjects, 27.16 years for subjects with contact ACL injury, standard deviation (SD) = 6.330 and 28.00 years for subjects with noncontact ACL injury, SD = 6.873, and P = 0.172. Results: Incidence of ACL injury in obese and nonobese subjects: We define obesity in our study as subject with a body mass index (BMI) >30 is considered as an obese while a subject with a BMI <30 considered as nonobese, the results has showed that subjects who sustained contact ACL injury and obese = 27%, subjects with contact ACL injury and nonobese = 73.2%. While subjects with noncontact ACL injury and obese = 27%; nonobese = 73%. Noncontact ACL versus contact ACL injury in terms of anthropometric measurements: The anthropometric measurements that we study are height, weight, BMI. There was no main significant difference of anthropometric measurement on contact and noncontact ACL injuries groups. We have found that the mean of the weight of contact ACL injury group = 79.64 ± 1","PeriodicalId":326659,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131218358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the present study was to find the X-ray findings in cervical dysfunction and assess its psychometric properties through analyzing various articles. Methodology: Various articles from following databases such as Science Direct, Springer Link, EMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane were gathered using terms such as “Cervical Dysfunction,” “Cervical Canal Diameter,” and “Radiological Findings.” A total of 12 articles based on the PICO format were included in the study, and based on their findings, a review was made. Discussion: MRI is the first line of choice to diagnose cervical disorders, but as we know, our India is developing country, so we need the cheap and easy diagnostic tool to assess. The reliability of the Torg ratio/Pavlov ratio, sagittal dimension of cervical canal, stress lines of the cervical spine, and cervical angle are different methods used to diagnose the cervical dysfunction using anteroposterior and lateral view of X-ray. Conclusion: Radiographic measurements can be used to evaluate cervical spondylosis and cervical stenosis but cannot evaluate neurological outcomes.","PeriodicalId":326659,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130461764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Codman's paradox is commonly used in manipulation under anesthesia technique for adhesive capsulitis of shoulder, which composes of a specific pattern of motion at the shoulder joint leading to an indirect humeral rotation without placing a rotational torque on the humerus. In this case study, Codman's paradox movement was modified and performed within pain tolerable range and without anesthesia in a subject with adhesive capsulitis. Aim and Objective: This case study analyses the effect of modified Codman's paradox movement in a 50-year-old male diagnosed with symptoms of adhesive capsulitis for more than 6 months. Materials and Methods: A single case study design was used. The study duration was 4 weeks. Baseline and posttest outcomes measures of shoulder range of motion (ROM) (flexion, extension, abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation) were measured using a universal goniometer and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) questionnaire. Results: Posttest measures of numerical pain rating scale, shoulder ROM and SPADI showed improvement, proving that modified Codman's paradox is effective in adhesive capsulitis. Conclusion: This study result concludes that modified Codman's paradox is effective in improving shoulder ROM among subjects with adhesive capsulitis.","PeriodicalId":326659,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125336778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aims: This study aims to compare effects of regular evening versus morning walk on biochemical and stress profile in newly diagnosed diabetic patients in a population of eastern India. Materials and Methods: This pilot study was conducted in a time span of 1 year after taking institutional ethical clearance and informed consent of the individuals. Two hundred newly diagnosed diabetes patients were included. One hundred individuals were advised to walk in the morning. One hundred individuals were advised to walk in the evening. Initial laboratory values (Fasting and PP sugar, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profile) and anthropometric measurements (height, weight, body mass index [BMI], waist/hip ratio) were recorded. Life event stress and perceived stress of the individuals were measured by using presumptive life event stress scale and perceived stress scale, respectively. All the parameters were reassessed 3 months after practising the walking regimen. Results: There were significant changes in both groups before and after the walking regimen, in fasting blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar, HbA1c, serum cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, very low-density lipoprotein level, and perceived stress scores. No significant change in both groups was observed before and after the walking regimen, in BMI, waist/hip ratio, serum HDL, and presumptive stress score. There was no significant difference in mean values of different parameters, between the two groups before and after the walking regimen. Conclusions: Walking in the morning and evening may be considered to be equally effective in respect of glycemic control, lipid metabolism, and stress management of diabetic individuals.","PeriodicalId":326659,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127665785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
