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.
