The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise, virtual reality and dual tasks exercise on motor function and depression in depressed MS patients. 48 women MS patient with a mean age of 42/13± 8/21 participated in this study and were randomly divided into three experimental groups and one control group. The aerobic exercise group practiced aerobics for eight weeks, two sessions per week. The virtual reality group in the virtual environment and the dual tasks group were intervened simultaneously using aerobic training and virtual reality. The control group also continued their daily activities. Beck Depression Inventory, Functional Achievement Balance Test and 10 m Walking in pre- and post-test were used. The results of paired t-test showed that gait, balance and depression improved significantly in pre-test to post-test exercise groups (P≥0.05). Covariance test was used to compare walking, balance and depression in the research groups and the results showed that there was a significant difference between the post-test scores and balance in the research groups (P≥0.05). The results of Bonferroni post hoc test also showed that there was a significant difference in the variables of gait, balance and depression between the combined exercise group with the aerobic and control groups (P≥0.05). Finally, the results confirm that dual tasks more than aerobic exercise and virtual reality lead to improved balance, gait and depression in depressed MS women, and this type of exercise can be a good intervention to improve motor function and depression in these people.

Aging is associated with balance and gait disorders. This study aimed to determine the effect and durability of combined exercise training on walking speed, balance, and fear of falling in sedentary older adults. In this randomized control trial, 27 older adults participated, including 13 people in the training group and 14 individuals in the control group. Static balance, dynamic balance, walking speed, and fear of falling were assessed at the pretest and posttest stages and two months after the completion of the measurements at the posttest stage. The training group performed the exercises (strength + balanced + functional training) for eight weeks, three sessions per week. Repeated measures of ANOVA with Bonferroni's post hoc test were used to examine intra-group and inter-group changes. Statistical operations were performed with SPSS24 software. The results of the research showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups in the post-test period in the variables of fear of falling, static balance on a hard surface, static balance on a soft surface, the total score of static balance, dynamic balance and walking speed. Also, the results show that the effects of the exercises on the examined variables were permanent (p≤0.05). Based on the results of this study, it seems that the use of multimodal sports exercises can have a positive effect on balance and walking speed, followed by reducing the risk of falling in the elderly, and these effects last after eight weeks.

The aim of the current research was to investigate the difference in the effect of different types of Nidfer's model of attention on balance and walking of patients with Parkinson's. The present research was conducted as a semi-experimental type with a pre-test-post-test design in the field and with a practical purpose. The statistical population of the current research consists of 60-70-year-old elderly male Parkinson patients of Tabriz city, who are diagnosed with Parkinson's degree 3 by a neurologist and the samples of this research are the criteria of entering and exiting the research in an available and voluntary manner from the aformentioned statistical population. A number of 25 people were selected and divided by simple random method into 4 experimental groups including external attention, narrow external attention, internal attention and narrow internal attention and a control group of 5 people. After registering the demographic information of the candidates, the pre-test of the static and dynamic tests and walking were measured and recorded. The Kistler force plate device was used to measure the static balance and the star test was used for dynamic balance. Also the time measurement test (TUG) was used for walking. The results showed that the four attention styles based on the Nidfer model have no significant effect on the static balance of Parkinson's patients. But the four changing styles of Nidfer's model have a significant effect on dynamic balance and walking in Parkinson's. From the general results of this study, it can be concluded that the four attention styles of the Nidfer model have been significant effect on the dynamic balance and walking of the patients. The special style of wide and narrow external attention causes improvement in the dynamic health status and an increase in walking speed in these patients.

Older adults’ ability to walk and turn is a crucial factor in quality independent living. This study aimed to investigate the effect of turning training in comparison with balance training on balance performance, mobility, turning, and fear of falling in older adults. therefore 45 eligible elderly males at least 60 years old were selected and randomly assigned to two experimental groups (turning and balance training) and a control group (n=15). Each experimental group performed their training program for 12 weeks. Static and dynamic balance, functional balance and mobility, straight walking, turning walking, and fear of falling were measured through force plate, Timed Up and Go Test, 10 Meter Walk Test, Figure of 8 Walk Test, and Falls Efficacy Scale-International respectively. Both turning and balance training were effective in improving static, dynamic, and functional balance, straight walking, and decreasing the fear of falling in both training groups compared to the control group. Turning training improved turning performance compared to balance training and the control groups and had a more effect on improving functional balance than balance training. The use of the turning components in training not only has the effects of balance training but also has more effects on improving performance in turning tasks in older adults. Due to the extent of turning situations in daily activities and its potential risk for older adults, it is recommended to use the turning components and perform the turning training in older adults.
