| Authors | : | Hina Gupta || Tenzin Yangdon || Ujjwal Gupta || Tirvesh Kumari |
Abstract: Background : Functional reach is a predictor of dynamic balance and is assumed to determine risk of injuries and improvement in fitness level. Y balance test is a modified version of star excursion balance test (SEBT) and is designed to assess dynamic stability. The aim of this study is to give normative data about dynamic stability of lower extrimeties in cricketers between 16 – 25 years of age..........
Key Word: Y balance test, Balance, cricket, Functional reach, dynamic stability.

| Title | : | The Effect of Repetitive Wrist Load in Athletes on Median Nerve Neurophysiological Evaluation |
| Country | : | Iraq |
| Authors | : | Zeyad Tareq Abdulrazzaq || Zaid Al-Madfai |
Abstract: Background: Fine wrist repetitive movements or aggressive weight lifting movements may cause abnormal nerve conduction parameters. Some sports are characterized by non-traumatic disorders of the soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system that include activities such as repetitive forceful motions, and awkward postures loads; of these, athletes specialized with Tennis table or Wrestling were the target of this study. Abnormalities of median nerve conduction study include wide variety of findings including carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) which is the most common peripheral neuropathy in sport medicine.........

Abstract: Background: CP is a static encephalopathy caused by Genetic, metabolic, ischemic, infectious and other acquired diseases in children. It is a disorder of movement and posture causing activity limitation that attributes to non progressive disturbances in the development of fetal or infant brain. CP is a most common motor disorder and the data from centre for disease control and prevention in indicates the incidence is 3.6 per 1000 live births and the ratio of M : F is 1.4 : 1...........
