This study aims to determine the reliability of the hand-eye coordination Software. The integrated control of hand and eye movements, as well as the processing of visual information to support attainment and acquisition and the use of hand proprioception to guide the eyes, are known as hand-eye coordination. Thus, this study aims to determine the reliability of the tests, so the research was conducted thrice with an interval of 6-7 days (testretest). 28 Young Adults (18- 35 years of age) have participated in the study. The analysis includes finger-pointing tasks performed only with the use of Hand-eye coordination software prepared by the Software engineer. In this Software, Visual targets in the form of a ball then appeared on the screen on the left, on the right, or in the center in random order., and participants were asked to point an index finger of the leading hand as rapidly and precisely as possible at all targets on the screen. After touching the target (indicated by its disappearance), the participant immediately placed his/her hand back in the designated starting position (touchpad).Each participant was required to repeat this finger-pointing task. The accuracy value after 1 minute was recorded and the average accuracy value was calculated and used in the analysis A smaller value indicates greater touch accuracy. In addition, the average reaction time (in milliseconds) was also measured. Based on the data analysis, the reliability score is 0.806 (Cronbach's Alpha), which indicates a high level of internal Consistency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a well-known cause of hip pain in adolescents and young adults. It is defined as the triad of symptoms, clinical signs and imaging findings in which structural morphology results in conflict between the femoral head and the acetabulum. Aim: To summarize the effects of physiotherapy rehabilitation in post operative management of FAI syndrome Method: A literature search was carried out on the PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Google Scholar,Chocrane, Research Gate and PEDrodatabases, using the following keywords: "femoroacetabular impingement", "FAI", in associationwith "surgery", "arthroscopy", "surgical" and "physiotherapy", "physical therapy", "rehabilitation", "exercise". Studies meeting all inclusion and exclusion were reviewed and data were extracted. Results: The above review includesa total of 10 studies. In the present review, data from 1281 patients were retrieved. Out of 1281 patients 820 were Male and 461were females. Furthermore, 117 cases were classified as a cam impingement, 40 as pincer impingement and 1124 as mixed FAI. The weighted mean age was 35.10 years, outcomes included iHOT-33, HOS ADL, HOS SPORTS, VAS, MHHS. Conclusion: Rehabilitation protocols following hip arthroscopy for the management of FAI syndrome typically consist of four to five phase programs with set goals and progression criteria. The study found Clinically significant improvement in reported outcomes from baseline noted in majority of the studies reviewed that involved a structured rehabilitation program following arthroscopic management of FAI.

Introduction: From among the core muscles (local and global), transversus abdominis muscle (TrA) is controlled independently as compared to the other trunk muscles. It creates a belt around the abdomen. “Abdominal draw‑in” of the abdomen creates isolated activation of the TrA. Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. Low endurance of inner core muscles is one of the risk factors for mechanical low back pain. Studies say that high BMI is a risk factor for low back pain. This study aims to assess the TrA muscle endurance and BMI to determine the correlation between the two parameters. Purpose: The objective of the study is to find the correlation between BMI and transverse abdominis endurance among KPGU Physiotherapy College students. Materials and Methods: In this correlation study, 30 college students were selected by convenience sampling method on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. BMI of all participants was calculated. Transverse abdominis muscle endurance was assessed using pressure biofeedback/sphygmomanometer. Results: Results showed a significant negative correlation between TrA endurance and BMI (Pearson’s correlation test; r = −0.45 at P < 0.05). Conclusion: The study concluded that students with higher BMI have low TrA endurance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
