Role of Gyroscopic- Based Resistance Training For Upper Limb Rehabilitation in Musculoskeletal and Neurological Conditions:- A Scoping Review

PROTOCOL: Scoping Review on the Role of Gyroscopic-Based Resistance Training for Upper Limb Rehabilitation in Musculoskeletal and Neurological Conditions. BACKGROUND: Upper limb musculoskeletal and neurological conditions severely affect ADLs and QoL. Conventional physiotherapy needs innovative, accessible approaches. Gyroscopic-based resistance training (e.g., gyroballs) uses dynamic resistance, but evidence mapping is lacking. RESEARCH QUESTIONS (JBI Framework): 1. What is the extent, range, and nature of evidence on gyroscopic training for upper limb rehab? 2. What populations (musculoskeletal/neurological), interventions (gyroball protocols), comparators, and outcomes (pain, strength, function, muscle activation, adherence) are reported? 3. What study designs, settings, and limitations exist? METHODS: - Follows JBI Scoping Review Methodology (2020) - Sources: PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase, Scopus (2015-present, English full-text peer-reviewed articles) - Inclusion: All designs with gyroscopic interventions for upper limb rehab in musculoskeletal/neurological conditions; outcomes: pain, strength, function, muscle activation - Data charting: Study characteristics, population demographics, intervention details, outcomes, adherence/satisfaction, limitations - No quality appraisal (scoping scope) TEAM: Cheshta Sharma1* (UG Student), Darshil Mishra2 (UG Student), Sandeep Pattnaik3 (Assistant Professor), Aditi Popli4 (Assistant Professor) 1-4: Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, MM(DU), Mullana-Ambala, Haryana, India REGISTRATION PURPOSE: A priori protocol for transparency, duplication prevention, PRISMA-ScR compliance, and journal submission.
