Comparison of Peak Expiratory Flow Rate in Different Body Positions among Pregnant Women Patel, Dhaval; Patel, Prakash; Patel, Namrata Background: A vast amount of physical and physiological changes occurs during pregnancy in various systems of the body. Dyspnea is a common problem among the pregnant women due to growing size of fetus and alteration in respiratory system. During the course of normal and uncomplicated pregnancy as many as 60% to 70% of women experience sensation of Dyspnea as major discomfort. Dyspnea can be defined as difficulty in breathing or breathlessness. Clinically PEFR can be used to assess the lung function and can be taken as index for lung function. Various studies state that different body position influence PEFR value. hence this study is intended to compare the PEFR in different relaxation position among pregnant women in 2nd trimester. Objectives: To compare PEFR values obtained during the different relaxation position in pregnant women in 2nd trimester and to find optimal position in which maximal expiration is possible in pregnant women in 2nd trimester. Method: 72subjects participated in the study after scrutinizing for inclusion and exclusion criteria, on voluntary basis with gestational age of 14 to 27 weeks. Patients were asked to assume different relaxation position and PEFR was measured and best of 3 values were taken for statistical analysis. One-way ANOVA was used to find the difference in PEFR value between the different relaxation positions. Post hoc analysis (Bonferroni test) used to find multiple comparisons between the position. P value was kept at<0.05 for statistical significant. Results: The mean PEFR values are as follows: high side lying was 312.50+27.87. Relaxed sitting was 340.14+27.03. Relaxed standing was 352.36+26.82. Forward lean sitting was 364.44+25.22. Forward lean standing was 379.44+29.25. when mean difference in scores of PEFR between different body positions forward lean standing has was found to have max PEFR value followed by forward lean sitting, relaxed standing, relaxed sitting and high side lying. Interpretation & Conclusion: Different body positions were found to have influence on PEFR values. Upright postures were better than recumbent position among upright posture, forward lean standing and sitting was found to have higher value when compared to relaxed sitting and standing which was due to fixation of upper extremity. Thus these position can be encouraged more to relieve the discomfort of Dyspnea.

To Compare Mental Practice with Motor Imagery and Mirror Therapy on Hand Function in Stroke Patients Patel, Mansi; Patel, Yesha; Shah, Riya Background & Objective: To compare mental practice with motor imagery and mirror therapy on hand function in stroke patients. Method: 24 patients of stroke of different age and gender were recruited and subjects who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into 2 groups: Group A- patients undergone Motor Imagery& Group B- patients undergone Mirror Therapy. Pre-and post assessment of hand function assessed using fuglmeyer scale and Action Research Arm Test (ARAT).Patients diagnosed with CVA, age between 41-65 years, medically stable after acute CVA, both male and female were included. Patients with upper limb amputation, upper limb fracture, with artificial joints, having severe cognitive impairments, brain injury and surgery, diagnosed with any other neurological disorders were excluded. Result: In Group-A (Motor Imagery) and Group-B (Mirror Therapy), all data was expressed as mean ±, SD and was statistically analyzed using paired ‘t’ test and independent ‘t’ test to determine the statistical difference among the parameters at 0.5% level of significance. Statistical data of FMA and ARAT of both the groups values showing that, Group-A & Group-B both are effective with p<0.05; i.e. 95% of significance. Conclusion: This study concluded that Mirror Therapy is more effective in improving hand function in stroke patients than Motor Imagery.

Correlation between psychological well-being and aerobic capacity among young adults Panchal, Shruti; Jiyani, Drashti Background: Psychological wellbeing and mental health are major health issues and they affect physical health. Physical activity is an important factor used in mental health to treat and prevent both physical and some mental disorders such as depression and anxiety. Increasing levels of physical activity have a positive impact on physical health and mental well-being. Aims & objectives: The objective of the study is to determine the state of Psychological Well-being, level of Aerobic capacity and assess the correlation between Psychological Well-being & Aerobic capacity. Materials and methods: It was an Observational study in which 196 young adults participated who were mating inclusion criteria. All subjects were instructed to ll Ryff's psychological wellbeing scale. Then all those subjects were instructed to performed 20 meter shuttle run test and calculated the Vo2max. Results: Ryff's psychological well-being scale is correlated with aerobic capacity through VO2max with correlation value q 0.622 in general. Even gender specic correlation between Ryff's scale and VO2max in young males and females subjects is also positively correlated with q value 0.553 and 0.634 in males and females consequently. Conclusion: There is a signicant correlation between psychological well-being and aerobic capacity among young adults.
