Prevalence and the Risk Factors Associated With Musculoskeletal Problems Among Tea Garden Workers in Banwaripur Tea Estate, Golaghat District
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal pain refers to discomfort that affects the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones. Its causes are diverse, with poor posture or body mechanics often leading to spinal misalignment and muscle shortening, which can result in overuse and pain in other muscles. This type of pain is particularly common among tea leaf pluckers, who experience it due to the heavy loads they carry, long working hours, challenging terrain, and lack …

Effectiveness of Spencer Technique of Mobilization on Adhesive Capsulitis: A Single Case Study
Abstract: Background: Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by pain, restricted motion, and stiffness in the shoulder joint. This occurs due to inflammation and the thickening of the joint capsule. The Spencer technique, is a manual therapy method consisting of seven steps designed to improve shoulder function by enhancing joint mobility, circulation, and lymphatic flow. These movements target shoulder extension, flexion, circumduction, abduction, and adduction, to reduce stiffness …

Biomechanical Impact of Text Neck Syndrome on Cervical Spine and Upper Quarter Musculoskeletal System
Abstract: Text Neck Syndrome (TNS) has emerged as a modern musculoskeletal disorder associated with prolonged use of handheld digital devices, resulting in sustained cervical flexion and altered spinal biomechanics. This article explores the biomechanical consequences of TNS on the cervical spine and upper quarter musculoskeletal system, including muscular imbalance, altered load distribution, ligamentous strain, and degenerative changes. Increased cervical flexion significantly elevates compressive forces on intervertebral discs and facet joints, disrupting …

Development Of Ai-Driven Systems for Real-Time Joint Movement Detection and Correction in Frozen Shoulder Therapy Using Sensor-Based Shoulder Rehabilitation Devices
Abstract: Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by progressive pain, stiffness, and restricted range of motion that significantly impairs functional ability and quality of life. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence and sensor-based technologies have enabled the development of intelligent rehabilitation systems capable of real-time joint movement detection and correction. Wearable sensors such as inertial measurement units, electromyography sensors, and flexible strain sensors capture continuous biomechanical data …

Polymer Chemistry in Shoulder Orthotics
Abstract: The design of effective shoulder orthotic devices has increasingly made use of polymeric materials because of their versatility, durability, and biocompatibility. This review illustrates polymer chemistry role in constructing an orthotic device for shoulder subluxation, which is a commonly occurring post stroke or injury condition. Proprietary design elements such as polypropylene are rigid yet moldable which help in anatomical formulating for joint stabilization. On the other hand, rubber elastomers, medicinal …
