Read More Background: Forward head posture (FHP) and kyphosis are the most common postural deviations which various factors are involved in the occurrence of these abnormalities. This study aimed to compare the effect of functional corrective exercises (FCE) and core stability exercises (CSE) on forward head posture and kyphosis in adolescent girls. Methods: The present study is quasi-experiment research and included a pre- and post-test design. 52 students aged 14-16 years old with forward head posture >46 degrees and kyphosis >40 degrees were randomly assigned into four groups, each one consisting of 13 students. Research tools for kyphosis as well as forward head posture assessment included flexible ruler and goniometer, respectively. The experimental groups participated in training programs for 6 weeks, three times per week and for 60-minutes per session, while the control group continued their daily routine activities. The data analysis was carried out using covariance (ANCOVA) analysis via SPSS, version 21. Results: The outcomes showed that there were significant differences among groups, including core stability exercises (CSE) and combined exercises (FCE+CSE) (p= 0.020), core stability exercises (CSE) and Control (p= 0.008), functional corrective exercises (FCE)and Control (p= 0.001), combined exercises (FCE+CSE) and Control (p= 0.001) with respect to kyphosis. For the Forward head posture (FHP) variable, there were significant differences between pre- and post-tests of core stability exercises (CSE) and Control (p= 0.001), functional corrective exercises (FCE)and combined exercises (FCE+CSE) (p= 0.019), functional corrective exercises (FCE)and Control (p= 0.001) as well as combined exercises (FCE+CSE) and Control (p= 0.001) groups. There was no significant difference between pre- and post-test measures of control group. Conclusion: According to this study's results, although all types of training programs had a significant effect on postural correction, but a combined exercises (FCE+CSE) significantly improved forward head posture and kyphosis combined to each training program. Therefore, it is recommended that healthcare professionals and corrective exercise specialists to implement a combined program to have a better result in terms of kyphosis and forward head posture correction

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: Theory of Mind (ToM) is an essential component of communication with the others and social understanding. Cognitive structures, such as language, working memory, and executive functions play a special role in understanding the others҆ minds. Thus, given importance of the role of language skills in development of ToM and the previous research findings regarding the restricted capacity of children with cerebral palsy (CP) in development of their ability to understand others’ thoughts and feelings, this review study was designed to mainly evaluate the influence of language on ToM in children with CP. Methodology: For this purpose, initially, electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFo, MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science) were searched from September 1 to 30, during 2000-2020. In this review article, search was done focusing on the English-written papers using a combination of keywords including: “Cerebral Palsy, Theory of Mind, Mentalization, and Language” to identify relevant studies from 2000 to 2020. Results: A total of 978 publications were identified according to the initial search criteria. After reviewing abstracts, titles, and references of the identified papers, 10 potentially relevant papers were selected. Based on assessing their full-text, 7 papers completely met the inclusion criteria. Conclusion: Given that children with CP have not been addressed by numerous investigations to date, there is limited information about their ToM skills and the role of other different components of ToM development. Therefore, further research should be carried out to investigate this issue. The combined findings of the reviewed papers showed that language skills had an effect on capacity to elaborate ToM competence in children with CP. This review study paves the path to the future common research on children with CP and underlines importance of using a methodology, in which ToM performance is studied in concert with a detailed investigation of speech and motor impairments.

Read More Background: chronic non-specific low back pain (LBP) is a one of the most controversial issues of experts. Positive Ober`s test has been considered as a contributing factor to LBP. Common intervention to address such problems has been surgery or iliotibial band stretching. Recently it has been suggested that pelvic malalignment is the contributing factor to Positive Ober`s test. Pelvic repositioning exercises has been argued as a solution for treatment of chronic LBP followed by pelvic malalignment. Methods: In this single blinded randomized controlled trial, 18 patients participated and assigned into control and treatment groups using block randomization method. One side Positive Ober`s test as an indicator of pelvic malalignment was used as an inclusion criterion to employ the patients who have pelvic malalignment and asymmetry. Patients were asked to complete Oswestry disability questionnaire to assess their disability. Hip internal and external rotation and shoulder internal and external rotation ROM measured by a standard goniometer. Hip adduction and abduction ROM measured by an inclinometer. Outcome measures reassessed after 12 days. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA test to compare between groups. Results: Patients in treatment group showed significant improvement of pain (p-value=0.01), ipsilateral hip adduction (p-value=0.00) and internal rotation (p-value=0.02) ROM and contralateral hip abduction (p-value=0.00) and shoulder internal rotation (p-value=0.00) ROM and Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) (p-value=0.001) compared with control group. There was no difference between groups for disability (p-value=0.34) and contralateral hip external rotation (p-value=0.06) and also there was no difference for contralateral shoulder external rotation (p-value=0.85) and ipsilateral shoulder internal (p-value=0.13) and external rotation (p-value=0.58). Conclusion: Pelvic repositioning exercises are effective treatment to reduce chronic LBP through improving pelvic alignment. These exercise are also effective to improve GIRD and increase shoulder internal rotation ROM, contralateral to positive Ober`s test.
