Read More Theory of Mind (ToM) is an essential component of communicationwith the others and social understanding. Cognitive structures, such as language,working memory, and executive functions play a special role in understandingthe others҆ minds. Thus, given importance of the role of language skills indevelopment of ToM and the previous research findings regarding the restrictedcapacity of children with cerebral palsy (CP) in development of their ability tounderstand others’ thoughts and feelings, this review study was designed tomainly evaluate the influence of language on ToM in children with CP.Methods: For this purpose, initially, electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus,PsycINFo, MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science) were searched fromSeptember 1 to 30 , during 2000-2020. Search was done focusing on the Englishwrittenpapers using a combination of keywords including: “Cerebral Palsy,Theory of Mind, Mentalization, and Language” to identify relevant studies from2000 to 2020.Results: A total of 978 publications were identified according to the initial searchcriteria. After reviewing abstracts, titles, and references of the identified papers,10 potentially relevant papers were selected. Based on assessing their full-text, 7papers completely met the inclusion criteria.Conclusion: Given that children with CP have not been addressed by numerousinvestigations to date, there is limited information about their ToM skills andthe role of other different components of ToM development. Therefore, furtherresearch should be carried out to investigate this issue. The combined findingsof the reviewed papers showed that language skills had an effect on capacity toelaborate ToM competence in children with CP. This review study paves the pathto the future common research on children with CP and underlines importanceof using a methodology, in which ToM performance is studied in concert with adetailed investigation of speech and motor impairments.2021© The Authors.

Read More Background: Chronic non-specific low back pain (LBP) is one of the mostcontroversial issues of experts. Positive Ober`s test was considered a contributingfactor to LBP. Common intervention to address such problems was surgery oriliotibial band stretching. Recently, it was suggested that pelvic malalignmentis the contributing factor to Positive Ober`s test. Pelvic repositioning exerciseswas argued as a solution for the treatment of chronic LBP followed by pelvicmalalignment.Methods: In this single-blinded randomized controlled trial, 18 patientsparticipated and were assigned into the control and treatment groups using theblock randomization method. One side Positive Ober`s test as an indicator ofpelvic malalignment was used as an inclusion criterion to employ the patientswho have pelvic malalignment and asymmetry. Patients were asked to completethe Oswestry disability questionnaire to assess their disability. Hip internal andexternal rotation and shoulder internal and external rotation ROM measured bya standard goniometer. An inclinometer measures hip adduction and abductionROM. Outcome measures were reassessed after 12 days. Data were analyzedusing the ANCOVA test to compare among groups.Results: Patients in treatment group showed significant improvement of pain(P=0.01), ipsilateral hip adduction (P=0.00) and internal rotation (P=0.02)ROM and contralateral hip abduction (P=0.00) and shoulder internal rotation(P=0.00) ROM and Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) (P=0.001)compared with control group. There was no difference among groups fordisability (P=0.34) and contralateral hip external rotation (P=0.06) and alsothere was no difference for contralateral shoulder external rotation (P=0.85) andipsilateral shoulder internal (P=0.13) and external rotation (P=0.58).Conclusion: Pelvic repositioning exercises are an effective treatment to reducechronic LBP via improving pelvic alignment. These exercises improve GIRD andincrease shoulder internal rotation ROM, contralateral to positive Ober`s test.2021© The Authors. Published by JRSR. All rights reserved.

Read More Background:Fatigue can cause a significant effect on the mechanics of complex motor skills and reduce physical and mental efficiency. One of the common ways to reduce fatigue is passive recovering or using massage and cryotherapy after exercise. The present study aimed to compare the effects of massage and cryotherapy on muscles fatigue and isokinetic parameters.Methods:This study was conducted on54 healthy athletes aged 20-30 years who were randomly divided into three groups: cooling (ice therapy), massage, and control (resting). Each of the volunteers was evaluated in two sessions. The first session was to familiarize the participants with isokinetic contraction. The second session started with a brief warm up subsequently, using Biodex Isokinetic System Average Peak Torque (APTQ), Average Power (AP), and Total Work (TW) were measured. Then, the fatigue protocol was applied. Afterwards, interventions were performed for 15 minutes. After the intervention, isokinetic parameters were evaluated again. Also, perceived fatigue and Fatigue Index (FI) were recorded before and after the intervention.Results:APTQ, AP, and TW significantlyincreased in massage and cryotherapy groupsafter the intervention, while perceived fatigue and FI decreased significantly in both conditions (P<0.05). In the control group, however, no significant differences were observed in APTQ, AP, and TW before and after the intervention (P>0.05), but perceived fatigue and FI decreased significantly (P<0.05). Moreover, isokinetic variables (APTQ, AP, and TW) were higher in the massage group compared to cryotherapy and control groups (P<0.05), but such a difference was not observed between the massage and cryotherapy groups (P>0.05).Conclusion: Massage and cryotherapy could increase isokinetic parameters and decrease FI and perceived fatigue. Therefore, massage and cryotherapy have been more effective than rest as a strategy to return to normal state and no significant difference was observed between these two groups.

Read More Background: The prevalence of anxiety disorders is high in diabetes and low-middle income countries like India. Research has provided evidence about biofeedback effectiveness on stress related psychophysiological parameters. Aims: This study aims to verify the impact of GSR biofeedback relaxation on stress related psychophysiological parameters (galvanic skin resistance, stress and anxiety) among type II diabetes patients with high levels of anxiety. Settings and Design: Materials and Methods: The present study was single blinded randomized controlled trial. Initially 228 patients of type II diabetes were assessed on state trait anxiety inventory (STAI). Seventy participants who were identified as high anxiety with score above percentile of 75 on STAI invited for participation. Patients were randomly divided for biofeedback relaxation and sham-control group. Participants of the biofeedback group received training on how to use the GSR biofeedback device for management of stress parameters for 20 sessions with 30 minute each session. No intervention was made on sham-control group. Both groups were assessed before and after the biofeedback relaxation training programme. The results of the STAI, GSR and the inventory of stress for type II diabetes patients were compared. SPSS 16 version was used for analysis. Results: Biofeedback group reported a signiﬁcant change in state anxiety (t=5.089; p<0.001), GSR (t=-2.199; P<0.035) and stress (F=46.850;P<0.001) at post test. Control group reported at the same time moderate increase in stress and trait anxiety. These results are consistent with previous studies. Conclusions: Biofeedback relaxation useful technique for manage their stress and anxiety. During an emotional disturbance this may also be helpful to promote overall psychological health. Further research is necessary to determine the long-term effects of GSR biofeedback relaxation and the effects of mood on cortisol among diabetes patients.
