Effectiveness Of E-Backnshou Exercise on Computer Vision Syndrome Among Physiotherapy Students- An Experimental Study Kiruthiga S, Ashish Mathew A International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology, 2026 Background: As virtual learning is becoming more prevalent, college students spend significant time on digital devices, leading to digital eye strain that may affect a student’s academic performance and quality of life. Globally approximately 60 million individuals report symptoms of computer vision syndrome with one million new cases annually. The E Backnshou exercise is a structured program aimed at reducing cvs symptoms. Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of the E Backnshou exercise in reducing CVS Symptoms among physiotherapy students. Methods: A Quazi experimental study was conducted involving 30 physiotherapy students aged 19- 25 years experiencing CVS Related neck, shoulder, and low back pain. The participants were divided into two groups, Group A performed E Backnshou exercise along with 20- 20- 20 rule, while group B followed only the 20- 20-20 rule. Outcome measure: Computer vision syndrome questionnaire, Visual Analogue scale, Neck disability index, Shoulder pain and Disability index and Roland Morris Disability questionnaire Results Statistically significant between group differences were observed using Mann- Whitney tests in neck pain Vas ( Mean = 1.80 ) shoulder pain Vas ( Mean= 1.87) SPADI ( Mean = 21.10), Low back pain Vas ( Mean= 2.13) and ROMDQ ( mean= 3.7) all remaining significant after Bonferroni adjustment ( a= .007). Conclusion: The E Backnshou Program significantly reduces musculoskeletal symptoms in students with excessive screen exposure. Although both groups improved, the experimental Group showed greater symptoms reduction and functional improvement
Analysis of Forehand and Backhand Stroke Accuracy and Lateral Epicondylitis Pain among Recreational Tennis Players Ashish Mathew A, S F Mariyam Farzana, Suresh T N, Arvind M, Prithiha V International Journal of Engineering Science and Information Technology, 2025 The tennis matches require short explosive bursts of energy per match or practice session, and an average tennis match lasts less than one hour or as long as five hours. Tennis players most prominently use the primary ground strokes, such as forehand and backhand strokes. The forehand and backhand strokes are simultaneously activated by a complex sequence of muscle activity that incorporates smooth trunk and lower extremities coordination patterns. Accuracy of the forehand and backhand stroke plays a dominant role in the tennis matches, because accurate movement leads to high-performance skills. The contraption of this study promotes the knowledge on the influence of lateral elbow pain, which affects the players' accuracy in performing the ground strokes during a match, significantly decreasing the players' performance. The participants were recruited according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The participants' lateral epicondylitis was assessed using the Cozens test, pain was evaluated using the Numeric pain rating scale, and the ground stroke accuracy was assessed using the Wiebe tennis performance test. During the forehand stroke, the participants reported a visual analogue scale with a mean value of 2.46 and an accuracy rate of 65.71. During the backhand stroke, the participants reported a visual analogue scale with a mean value of 5.66 and an accuracy rate of 37.93. This study concludes that the pain score significantly increased in double and single backhanded strokes, with a decreased accuracy rate. This study also concludes that at least a positive correlation exists between pain intensity and the accuracy rate in the backhand stroke.
