To study effect of Maitland mobilization and conventional treatment on management of tennis elbow

Lateral epicondylitis is one of the commonest musculoskeletal conditions. The etiology of lateral epicondylitis is poorly understood. In spite of long duration for treatment protocol recurrence rate is common. Objective: The present study was undertaken to compare the effect of Maitland mobilization and conservative treatment in lateral epicondylitis. Method: 60 subjects diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis were included in the study. Functional status of patient was evaluated using upper extremity functional index scale. The data was collected by questionnaire form and was analyzed using SPSS 14.0 and graph pad 6.7 version. Correlation of pain and hand grip was done using Pearson correlation coefficient. Result: 80% of cases were in the age group between 30-40 years and 20% were more than 40 years. 33.33% was males and 66.66% females. The mean pain on was in group A was 3.43 and in group B it was 4.2 by the end of 9 th week. Mean pain free grip strength improved in group A 19.96 as compared to group B 16.36 by end of 9th week. Mean upper extremity functional index showed significant improvement in group A as compared to group B. In occupation wise distribution 33.33% subjects were housewives, 20% were clerks. In hand dominance 91.66% were right-handed and 8.33% were left handed. Conclusion: From the present study it is concluded that Maitland mobilization combined with conservative treatment is effective in management of lateral epicondylitis as compared to only conservative treatment.

Passive strecting and functional electrical stimulation combined with cryotherapy is effective in spastic hand in hemiplegic patients: A comparative study

To determine the effects of passive stretching and electrical stimulation with cryotherapy on spastic hand in hemiplegic patients.. Sample size:  40 patients (20 in each group),Study Design:  Interventional Study, Study setting: A 100 bedded tertiary care teaching hospital with well-equipped medical and surgical intensive care unit and musculoskeletal department, Sample and Sampling method:  40  patients were  randomly selected  and  assigned in 2 groups,  as Group 1(control group), Group 2 (Interventional group)  in equal numbers Exclusion Criteria. Patients having dermatological problem, patients who have received butox or steroids, patients having seizures, severe depression, injuries to arms and hands. Inclusion Criteria: Patient diagnosed with spastic hemiplegia, patients having wrist flexors spasticity grade 3 according modified Asworth Scale,age 35-65 years both gender, patients who are interested to participate, stroke episode less than 4 months. Result: Mann Whitney U Test was used to analyze the pre and post treatment values of modified as worth scale and hand wrist functional scale between groups. Conclusion: The study shows that electrical Functional stimulation combined with crotherapy is more effective as compared to cryotherapy and passive strecthing

To study the effect of quadriceps strengthening versus hamstring strengthening in patients with osteoarthritis of knee

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease affecting major joints of the body especially weight-bearing joints for example knee, one-third of adults and presenting a tendency to increase with age. OA knee can be associated with symptoms of pain, instability, reduction of the range of motion (ROM) and consequently, deterioration in the quality of life and function. This functional limitation results in an increase in the risk of an increase in disability which leads to impairment of day-to-day ability.

Comparative study of renewable energy based stills and electric heater coupled stills for water purification

Water scarcity is the major problem that calls for the development and economy of the country. One of the best and most inexpensive methods to solve those problems were by solar distillation method. The productivity of the still depends upon many parameters. Expect water temperature other parameters cannot be altered. In this work sensible heat storage material; latent heat storage material was used along with biomass boiler and electric heaters to increase the water temperature in the still. An external glass cooling method was used to reduce the losses and increases the condensation rate in the still. Naturally available biomass such as wood was tried in this work as biomass fuel. Experiments are carried out by coupling various still designs such as the pyramid, multi-basin and single basin design with the biomass boiler and elecrtic heater. The single basin still was operated in the solar mode for comparison. Payback periods are calculated for various stills, the payback periods for biomass augmented stills are low when compared to solar stills and stills coupled with the heater. The multi-basin still with electric heater produces more yield than other shapes of design. The percentage of productivity for single basin still was 59% more than single basin solar still,66% more than pyramid still and 72% more in multi-basin still.

Real time communication between mobile and web browser

WebRTC technology that offers high eminence RTC applications being established for web and mobile platforms and permit them to interconnect via API’s and similarly with the set of practices. WebRTC deliberations to be focused between at least two endpoints by means of program based versatile/work area applications or gadget local portable applications. This paper explains about enabling online shoppers to have live audio/video chats through mobile with the vendors so that they can look at the product and clarity the uncertainties on spot, as though they are feeling outdoor shopping, the paper also proves such competence by leveraging evolving expertise like WebRTC and WSC.

Design, development and experimental studies of downdraft gasifier

Fossil fuels are the major source of energy but the quantities of these are limited and use of these causes greenhouse effect by net addition of CO2 to earth atmosphere and also there is an issue of scarcity of fossil fuels (i.e. Petrol, LPG, and CNG) in the world. Especially in developing country like India, fossil fuel price is also very high. So, current objective is to find a substitute for a fossil fuel. Before the existence of fossil fuel, biomass was the only source of energy which was understood by mankind and utilized as a fuel. Gasification of biomass allows overcoming these issues. Energy extraction from biomass with considering environmental aspect is a challenge. Gasification is thermochemical process which converts biomass into synthesis gas (“syngas”). Syngas mainly comprises of Hydrogen (H2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO), which has the capability to further burnout and releases energy. Syngas can be used for power production, heating application, and liquid fuel production. There are several reactors available for gasification process; present study is focused on downdraft gasifier reactors. It is focused on the production of syngas and effect of various parameters like equivalence ratio, the moisture content of biomass wood used on a composition of syngas. Therefore, the intention is to produce a substitute gaseous fuel syngas from biomass by using fixed bed downdraft gasifier.
