An important milestone by Hunjan Hospital

20th February 2021 at 1:06 PM

 The first Mako System in Northern India has been installed 

Ludhiana: 20th February 2021: (Health and Fitness Bureau)::

Ludhiana reached an important milestone in knee replacement as it became the first city in Northern India to have the world’s most widely adopted US FDA approved Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Technology. The first Mako System in Northern India has been installed at Hunjan Hospital, said a press release issued jointly by Stryker India, a leading global medical device company, headquartered in the US, and Hunjan Hospital, a renowned orthopedics hospital in the city of Ludhiana. 

The launch comes as an important milestone for Hunjan Hospital and Stryker, in their endeavor to bring the most advanced technology and treatment for patients suffering from knee joint disorders. Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Surgery System enables surgeons to deliver more predictable surgical outcomes with increased accuracy.

Congratulating Hunjan Hospital on this important milestone, Ms. Meenakshi Nevatia, the Vice President and Managing Director of Stryker India, said, “We are very happy to partner with Hunjan Hospital and it is indeed a proud moment for Stryker. Our common vision of bringing newer innovations to improve patient outcomes and making healthcare better makes our partnership with the hospital very special. We are truly excited about the potential impact on serving patients needing knee replacement across Northern India.”

Dr. BS Hunjan, Director and Joint Replacement Surgeon at Hunjan Hospital, while talking about the difference between conventional and Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Surgery during the press conference held in Ludhiana, explained that one of the challenges with traditional surgery is that surgical accuracy depends on the surgeon’s experience and technique. Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Surgery System allows surgeons to make precise bone cuts on the diseased joint, every single time. “First 8 patients that we operated on have shown encouraging results. With Mako, we have been able to know more about our patients than ever-before and we are able to cut less. For some patients, this can mean less soft tissue damage and for others greater bone preservation.”

Dr. Jaiveer Hunjan, Consultant Orthopaedics at Hunjan Hospital further added, “While conventional knee replacement surgeries have been improving life of patients effectively over last three decades, the Mako System will enhance our accuracy significantly. As suggested by the literature and our experience with initial surgeries, we have seen tremendous patient benefits such as precise planning and bone cuts, more bone and soft tissue preservation, less post-op pain, faster recovery, quicker discharge and less blood loss.” Speaking on the technology, Dr. BS Hunjan said, “This technology has the potential to transform the way knee replacement surgeries are performed. I am sure a day will come when this technology will be a Standard of Care in every operating room. We are very proud to bring world class care to the doorstep of patients in Punjab.”

Each patient’s bone anatomy is different, and arthritis further tends to alter the diseased joint. In case of a knee or hip surgery, Mako System’s software helps create a 3D model of the diseased joint based on the patient’s CT scan. The software then allows creating a personalized virtual surgical plan for each patient, based on their specific disease condition. This planning, done even before entering the operation theatre, helps in deciding the most accurate bone cuts and alignment of implants. The technology allows the surgeon to modify the plan during the surgery, if required. And once the plan is locked, the Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Surgery System assists the surgeon in executing the bone cuts in the operation theatre. The unique haptic technology ensures that the surgeon remains within the virtual boundaries created. Since the robotic arm cannot be physically moved outside the virtual boundary, it enables the preservation of soft tissue. This allows most accurate bone cuts, positioning of implants and protecting any injury to soft tissue.

The largest global install base of more than 1,000 Mako Systems (and counting), more than 350,000 Mako procedures and more than 145 publications in published, peer reviewed studies establish the clinical prowess of Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Technology.

When daughter saved her

 Emma told a heart touching story 

FORT HOOD, Texas -- 

Nine-year-old Emma Fosberg began to pray, “God, please help us,” as her mom drove down the road, completely unresponsive after lapsing into a diabetic coma Oct. 2, with Emma and her two little brothers inside their minivan.

Emma said she knew something was wrong with her mom because she was driving erratically and was not answering them when she and her little brother were telling her to slow down or pull over. 

“We would say something and she wouldn’t answer,” Emma explained, “and she always answers.”

After leaving Belton Lake Outdoor Recreation Area following horseback riding lessons, Kendra Fosberg was on the phone with her husband, Staff Sgt. William Fosberg, whom she was supposed to meet at his company, 104th Engineer Construction Company, 62nd Eng. Battalion, 36th Eng. Brigade.

As soon as William realized something was wrong, the operations sergeant said he borrowed one of his Soldier’s phones and called 911, while also remaining on his phone, talking to Emma. He said he asked Emma to describe what she was seeing. While his daughter read the road signs she was passing, he relayed the information to the 911 operator.

“I was terrified internally thinking that they were going to crash or be hit by a vehicle head on, even more terrified when I thought about large military vehicles in the opposite lane,” William described, “but I had to remain calm, to keep Emma calm, while she kept the boys calm, so she could continue to tell me what they had seen along the road.”

After leaving BLORA, Kendra turned right onto East Range Road, exited Fort Hood on Highway 36, halfway between Gatesville and Temple and then drove south on the busy highway.

Emma said the minivan kept swerving to the opposite side of the road or going off the road, hitting the rumble strips on the side of the road.

“We kept saying, ‘Mom,’ cause she wouldn’t slow down. She was going super-fast,” Emma said.

The dispatch operator told William to have Emma climb into Kendra’s lap and drive the vehicle, but he worried his wife, in her confused state, could become combative if Emma was out of her car seat, which could result in a tragic end. Instead, William instructed Emma to use the gear shift to put the car in neutral.

“I told her, ‘When I say to, you are going to unbuckle, run up there, push the lever up one click and run back to your seat.’ Emma said, ‘OK,’” William described. “I said ‘Go!’ She ran up and pushed it, saying it moved one click up and ran back to her seat. I asked Emma if the van was slowing down and she said yes, but they were in the wrong lane on the bridge.”

The minivan crossed the bridge over Stampede Creek, hitting the guardrail, before coasting to a stop. Emma said as the van came to a stop, it began teetering to the side, before finally settling on the ground, which is when she ran back to the front of the van to put it in park.

“I thought we were gonna crash or go over the bridge, crash into the water and die,” Emma said.

The Temple Police Department responded to the emergency. With William’s help over the phone, Officer Cody Close administered a glucagon shot to Kendra, which increased her blood sugar quickly.

Emma was credited by the TPD for saving the lives of her mom, brothers and herself, receiving a coin for her bravery.

“She is so brave and always tries to make sure her mom and brothers are safe,” William said. “I could not ask for a more amazing daughter.”

After waking up in Temple confused about what happened, Kendra said the first thing Emma told her was, “I kept saying, ‘God, please help us.”

“God was on our side that day for sure,” Kendra said. “Emma is definitely my guardian angel.”

Holistic health added to Army fitness doctrine

 U.S. Department of Defense

By Thomas Brading, Army News Service 30th September 2020

FORT EUSTIS, Va. -- The ink has dried on the Army’s updated physical fitness doctrine, which now includes a portion on holistic health that aims to prevent injuries, increase Soldier lethality, and be an essential component of individual readiness.

Holistic Health and Fitness, or H2F, will be published Thursday into Army Field Manual 7-22, which covers the force’s doctrine on physical readiness training, said Maj. Gen. Lonnie G. Hibbard, commander of the U.S. Army Center for Initial Military Training.

As H2F takes its place in Army doctrine, Hibbard hopes to hit the ground running into fiscal year 2021, especially as the Army Combat Fitness Test, or ACFT, is set to become the fitness test of record next month.

“This will be the supporting blocks of the ACFT,” he said, adding that’s why H2F is rolling out at the same time as the new six-event ACFT.

The updated doctrine is curtailed to “the individual Soldier,” he said, and includes postpartum training for the first time. “We’ve made leaps and strides [with H2F], by not looking at Soldiers as carbon copies of one another, but as individuals. That’s the point of Health and Holistic Fitness.”

Comprehensive approach to training, readiness

H2F is an all-inclusive initiative designed to integrate personnel, equipment, facilities, programming, and education to produce physically and mentally tough Soldiers ready to defeat enemies in future warfare, Hibbard said.

“[H2F] is the framework to encompass all aspects of human performance to include physical, sleep, nutritional, spiritual, and mental fitness,” he said. This “optimizes Soldier’s readiness, reduces injury rates, improves rehabilitation after injury, and increases the overall effectiveness of the total Army.”

The initiative comes as part of the Army’s cultural shift in the way commanders train, develop, and care for its most important weapon system -- their Soldiers, he said. The single governance structure of H2F consolidates other Army health campaigns -- like Performance Triad, Go for Green, Army Wellness Centers, and others -- into one.

Commanders will have subject matter experts on their staff that advise them on implementing doctrine that supports the H2F system. These H2F Performance Teams, consisting of physical therapists, registered dietitians, occupational therapists, athletic trainers certified, cognitive performance experts, and strength and conditioning coaches, will support brigade-sized elements, providing far-forward medical care and performance expertise.

How will this affect Soldiers? The key, Hibbard said, is to prevent injuries and increase lethality.

As of February 2019, more than 56,000 Soldiers were non-deployable -- comparable to more than 13 brigade combat teams. Also, more than 21,000 Soldiers were on a temporary profile, and more than 15,000 were placed on a permanent profile. In 2018, more than half of all Soldiers were injured at some point, and 71% of those injuries were lower extremity micro-traumatic musculoskeletal “overuse” injuries.

The 2018 report also reported more than 12% of Soldiers had some form of sleep disorder and 17% of active-duty Soldiers were obese, both of which can lead to an injury.

In other words, how Soldiers trained, in and out of the gym, was yielding counterproductive results. This health care burden wasn’t just impacting operational readiness, but the musculoskeletal injuries racked up half a billion dollars of patient care costs among active-duty Soldiers.

Those readiness issues were just a few reasons why H2F was developed, Hibbard said, and will “increase the overall effectiveness of the total Army.”

Army Combat Fitness Test

The holistic health push comes as the Army overhauls its fitness assessment testing. The changes couple together, with H2F providing the help Soldiers need to achieve the changes needed with the Army’s total health and wellness, Hibbard said.

In October, the ACFT officially replaces the decades-old Army Physical Fitness Test. The ACFT was developed to reduce injuries and best prepare Soldiers for the modern demands of warfighting, Hibbard said.

The six-event, gender- and age-neutral ACFT will be the largest overhaul is assessing a Soldier’s physical fitness in 40 years. Unlike the outdated three-event physical fitness standards, the ACFT won’t be “one size fits all,” Hibbard said. “Your strengths and my strengths are going to be different.”

That’s where the H2F program comes in, he said. It’s an integrated health approach to physical training, tailor-made for “the individual Soldier” at all levels of their career.

Over the past decade, recruits have done less physical activity before enlisting than before, Hibbard said. This is based on several reasons, such as physical education classes being cut from public school education requirements.

“Unless your family or you play a sport, you may not do anything,” he said. “H2F is going to empower and equip Soldiers to take charge of their health and fitness.”

Soldier Performance Readiness Centers

Moving forward, H2F training facilities, known as Soldier Performance Readiness Centers, or SPRCs, will serve as unit-owned 40,000 square-foot fitness hubs to deliver integrated health experiences to the individual Soldier, Hibbard said. The hubs will include a standardized obstacle course, physical fitness testing field, sheltered strength training racks, containerized strength equipment, and physical readiness training fields with climbing pods.

The modernized gyms will begin to be built in fiscal year 2023. Until then, performance teams will use existing facilities. Once construction begins, it will take between six-to-18 months to complete, he said.

New equipment is expected to come sooner, or has already been delivered, to Army gyms across the force.

“We've already got testing equipment for the ACFT [delivered to] most brigades,” Hibbard said. “Especially at [U.S. Army Forces Command]” at a delivery rate of “18 brigades a year after that, give or take.”

National Guard and Army Reserve

Leaders at CIMT, which falls under U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, understand these changes won’t necessarily impact every Soldier in the Total Army at the same time.

“When you start looking at Army National Guard or Army Reserve, it gets a little bit more complicated,” Hibbard said. “Teams are looking to resource H2F by implementing creative solutions, including partnerships, technology applications, mobile platforms, and leveraging other subject matter experts in their states or regions.”

Both components are also implementing pilot programs to assess the functionality in their units. The National Guard has 14 programs in various states, and the Reserve will begin their pilot program in the third quarter of 2021. Pilot programs will include fitness apps, virtual education, purchase of commercial off-the-shelf training equipment, partnerships with academia, industry, and state-run programs.

Army leaders continue to research how the H2F system can best align with their specific requirements, Hibbard said.

H2F may be here, but assessing information and data is far from over, he said.

“We will continue to evolve [H2F], especially with the Guard and Reserve developing their programs,” he said. “Soldiers are the ‘why’ behind all of this. We are asking a lot from them physically, and as we change the culture of fitness in the Army,” H2F is here to help them succeed.

A Brief History of Dumbbells

9th April 2018 By David Johnson in Uncategorized Comment

 First dumbbells were literally “dumb” bells

If you go to any gym in America, you will find a large assortment of dumbbells. And for a good reason! Dumbbells are popular because they are portable and can be used in many different ways to strengthen the body.

You may think of the dumbbell as a modern piece of fitness equipment, but it has actually been around for over 2000 years. Here is a brief history of the dumbbell, including why it has such a strange sounding name.

The use of dumbbells dates all the way back to ancient Greece. Ancient Greeks used halteres during their long jump competitions to help them jump farther. Halteres were not the shape of the modern dumbbell, though. They were crescent shaped and had a handle for the jumper to easily grab when it was time to compete. Historians believe athletes used these for more than just jumping. There is evidence the ancient Greeks used them for general exercise to build muscle strength. That’s right, the Greeks knew the value of strength training beyond sports performance!

Meanwhile, in the middle east, athletes used a nal to strength train. This club shaped piece of equipment was longer than the modern dumbbell but shorter than a barbell. Middle Eastern and Indian wrestlers, bodybuilders, and athletes used nals to build strength and stamina. The clubs were of different weights, so they could be used for calisthenics and weight lifting. British colonists adopted the use of the nal, which they called the Indian Club, and brought the equipment to the west.  

While the use of Indian clubs remained popular, a new type of equipment gained popularity in the 1700’s.

Joseph Addison, a British poet, wrote about his exercise routine with dumbbells. These were church

bells with the clappers removed to silence them. The bells were made “dumb,” hence the name dumbbells. Using dumbbells was a popular exercise in the 18th century, even among our founding fathers. Benjamin Franklin wrote about using dumbbells to maintain his physical fitness and contributed his longevity to using them every day.

By the 1800’s, dumbbells were regularly used in gymnasiums and aerobics classes. Students regularly used them for physical education classes. Once the barbell was invented, strength training became more popular and the dumbbell was used in conjunction with barbells to build muscle.

While the first dumbbells were literally “dumb” bells, they were eventually replaced with iron weights. Adjustable dumbbells were also available by the 19th century. Some dumbbells had canisters holding sand or shot. Athletes and regular Joes could purchase empty dumbbells and fill the canisters with shot to adjust the weight. The problem was that it was both difficult and time consuming to change the weight. Changing the weight by adding iron plates became more popular because it was much quicker to adjust the dumbbell’s weight during a workout.

 As technology has progressed, the dumbbell has upgraded to silicone, steel, concrete, and even dials and buttons. We use the modern barbell because of the long history of athletes using different equipment to get the best workout possible. So next time you go to the gym, think about all the athletes who came before you and be grateful there is no need to add sand to each barbell o bybefore you lift! Dumbbell Club believes the best Dumbbells in the World are manufactured by @NspireBarbellIndia and they design custom ones too. (Text Courtesy: Dumbbell Club)
