The Efficacy Of Faradic Stimulation On Gluteal Amnesia In IT Professional

Abstract

Study Design: Experimental Study

Objectives:

1. To observe the use of faradic stimulation concerning gluteal amnesia in IT profession.

To observe the efficacy of faradic stimulation concerning gluteal amnesia in IT.

Background: Gluteal amnesia, characterized by insufficient activation of the gluteal muscles, has become increasingly prevalent among IT professionals due to prolonged sedentary lifestyles. This condition not only affects posture but also contributes to compensatory injuries in the lumbar spine, knee, and ankle joints.

Aim of the study: To study the efficacy of faradic stimulation on gluteal amnesia in IT profession.

Methodology:

This experimental study employed a pre-test/post-test control group design over a four-week period. Participants were divided into two groups, Group A (experimental ) received targeted faradic stimulation and while  Group B (control ) serving as a control grouped. Outcomes were measured using the Over Head Squat Test, pelvic tilt using pelvic Inclinometer and Active Knee Bent Test.

Results:

Results indicated a significant improvement in the activation of the gluteal muscles and a reduction in compensatory muscle patterns. This study underscores the potential of faradic stimulation as a viable treatment option for gluteal amnesia, especially for individuals engaged in predominantly sedentary work environments.

Conclusion:

These findings suggest a promising avenue for occupational health interventions aimed at reducing workplace-related musculoskeletal disorders among IT professionals.
