The prevalence of spastic cerebral palsy is increasing rapidly among children, with a prevalence of 2-4 per thousand people. This study aimed to investigate the effect of 12 weeks training program with TheraSuit and its durability on balance control and gait parameters in children with cerebral palsy.

 This quasi-experimental study was performed on children (age range of 6-12 years) with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy referred to occupational therapy and rehabilitation clinics in Hamadan City, Iran, in 2021. Twelve children were selected by convenience sampling. Without random assignment, the patients were divided into two groups: with and without TheraSuits. Before and after the intervention, the balance score and kinematic parameters, including step length, step width, walking speed, ankle, thigh and knee range of motion, were measured in stationary and moving positions in both groups. The exercises were performed for 12 weeks, three sessions every other day for one hour. The Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. All statistical analyses were performed in SPSS software, version 24 at a significance level of 5%.

The results showed a significant improvement in balance score after the intervention in the intervention group compared to the control group (P=0.002), but the speed of walking, hip and knee range of motion significantly decreased compared to the control group (P<0.05). The results showed that 10 weeks and one month later, there was a lasting effect of training in both groups (P>0.05).

 Our results confirmed the effectiveness of corrective exercises in the group with TheraSuit, so its use in a rehabilitation program for cerebral palsy patients is recommended, and the durability of the exercise was seen in both groups.

Knee osteoarthritis is a common joint disease that is more common among Older adults and leads to decreased performance and increased fear of falling in affected people. Based on this, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of fall-proof exercises on function and fear of falling in elderly women with knee osteoarthritis.

In the year 2023, a semi-experimental intervention with a pre-test and post-test design was conducted on 25 elderly women aged 60 to 75, all diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis and divided into an experimental group and a control group. All subjects entered the study with complete satisfaction and after filling the consent form.Participants in the experimental group engaged in targeted fall-proof exercises for 8 weeks, three days a week. The control group did not participate in any exercise activities. The WOMAC questionnaire was used to evaluate function and the Fall Efficacy scale-International questionnaire was used to evaluate the subjects' fear of falling.Data analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis in SPSS version 26, with the significance level set at 0.05.

The results showed that the total scores of the WOMAC questionnaire and its three subscales (pain, dryness and function) decreased significantly after the exercise in the experimental group (F1.23 = 7.35, p = 0.01, η = 0.24).While the total scores of the WOMAC questionnaire and its three subscales (pain, stiffness and function) did not differ significantly between the control and experimental groups (F1.23=2.42, p=0.13,). Also, the results showed that the fear of falling scores decreased significantly after performing the exercises in the experimental group (F1.23= 9.52, p = 0.005, η = 0.29). While there was no significant difference between the fear of falling scores between the control and experimental groups (F1.23= 2.37, p=0.13).

 The most essential and common sports injury in the lower limb in many sports fields is the injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Knowledge in this field and appropriate exercise programs can help prevent this injury for all athletes and coaches. The present research aims to investigate the prevalence of this injury in different sports fields and the results of various training programs in reducing the risk of injury to ACL.

 The current review was conducted using international information resources, Scopus, Taylor and Francis, ProQuest, Emerald Insight, ScienceDirect, Springer, Web of knowledge, and internal information resources including Magiran, Civilica, SID, and Iran Medex were applied. The research date range was defined between 2000 to 2020. In international articles, keywords such as Single-leg Landing, Landing, Injury, Knee injury, Drop-landing, Training, Exercise, ACL, and in domestic papers, keywords such as ACL, Knee Injury, Single-leg Landing, Jump, Land, and Training program were considered. According to the exclusion criteria, only 42 articles were selected and examined out of 220.

Women with this injury are more affected at all skill levels, so at the professional skill level, women were affected up to 5 times more than men, and at the amateur level, the infection rate is about 3 to 4 times higher. The highest incidence is related to women professional basketball players with a speed of 5.5 per 1000 athletes training, and the lowest is among amateur male athletes with a rate of 0.02 with the same criteria. Of the articles reviewed in the appropriate injury prevention training program, 32% examined the effect of neuromuscular training, 18% combined training, 26% strength training, and 24% central core stability training. With 80% effectiveness, core stability training seems to be the most effective injury prevention program.

 Considering the rate of this injury and the impact of this injury on treatment costs, the duration of returning to exercise, and creating the ground for other injuries, a comprehensive review of exercises effective in preventing this injury for athletes and coaches it’s important. This is especially important for professional female basketball players due to the incidence rate. The central core stability training program had the most practical effect among the training programs. The combined training program had the least impact according to different criteria for assessing and preventing injury.

This study aimed to determine the effect and persistence of neuromuscular correction programs on landing position, static and dynamic balance in athletes with Dynamic Knee Valgus defects.

The statistical population of this quasi-experimental study included teenagers athletes in soccer with dynamic knee valgus deformity who were purposefully selected and randomly assigned in two groups of control (Age: 12.50±0.67 years, height: 1.70±0.06 m, weight: 56.41±5.46 kg, body mass index: 19.49±1.57 kg/m2) and training (Age: 12.23±0.59 years, height: 1.67±0.10 m, weight: 53.07±8.96 kg, body mass index: 18.83±1.54 kg/m2). Dynamic knee valgus was assessed by squat test and valgus angle and knee flexion were assessed by landing-jump test using Quinoa software. Static and dynamic balance was assessed by the Bass Stick test and Y test. After evaluating the variables in the pre-test, the subjects in the exercise group performed neuromuscular exercises for 8 weeks and the control group participated in the team-specific physical fitness program only in this period.

The results in the training group showed that the neuromuscular correction program had a significant effect on variables (P≤0.01) except the knee flexion angle at the end of the descent (p=0.60). But the training results were not lasting after 1 month of untraining in variables Valgus at the moment of landing, static and dynamic balance. Also, the Bonferroni post hoc test results in variables (p≤0.01) except for knee flexion angle at the end of landing (p=0.14) showed a significant difference between the two groups.

Based on the results, the use of a neuromuscular correction program can be suggested as an effective program before puberty for teenage athletes in soccer with dynamic knee valgus of ankle origin.

There are few studies that highlighted the effectiveness of exercise on unstable surfaces in eldely subjects. This study was done to evaluate the effect of training on stable and unstable surfaces on walking kinematic and timed-up-and go (TUG) test variables in elderly wemon.

In this quasi-experimental study, 75 elderly women were non-randomly assigned to exercises and control groups. Cadence, step length, stride length, step width, walking speed, and TUG were measured. Gait kinematics (cadence, stride length, walking speed, step width) was recorded by an image recording camera. Gait kinematics variables were measured. The average of three repetitions was recorded for analysis for each subject.

Exercise training had a significant effect on the step length, stride length, step width, walking speed, and time of TUG (P<0.05). Although, there was a significant difference in gait kinematics after exercise training, training on foam with (9cm height) created the highest mean difference in TUG, cadence, step length, and training on sand resulted in the greatest mean difference in step length and walking speed variables.

Training on stable and unstable surfaces improves walking kinematic and TUG time variables in elderly wemon.

Military personnel need endurance training for increasing physical fitness and health in their jobs. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ranger training on muscular endurance and lipid profile in military students. In this semi-experimental study, 24 sophomore students from a military university were randomly selected and divided into experimental and control groups. Firstly, the subjects warmed up for 15 minutes, then they performed muscle endurance test (pre-test), and finally the results were recorded. After two days, the subjects returned to the laboratory and blood sampling was performed to assess lipid profiles (cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL). Then, the experimental group performed eight-week ranger training program. To collect the data in the post-test, the subjects performed the test again, and then blood tests were carried out. Independent t-test was used at the significant level of p<0.05 to analyze the data. The results showed that eight-week ranger training did not have a significant effect on muscular endurance of the students. In addition, there was no significant effect on cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, and HDL. According to the results of this study, it seems that some changes have to be made in order for effectiveness of physical fitness improvement programs and health in military students.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, autoimmune, inflammatory nervous system disease. It leads to the loss of myelin in the white matter of brain, spinal cord and optic nerves, and causes tiredness, muscle cramp, tremor, unsteady gait and some inability to move. The present quasi-experimental study used a pretest-posttest design.This study was conducted in 2013 on 24 women, referring to MS association in Mashhad, Iran. The subjects with the age of 27-37, expanded disability status scale or EDSS 1-4, were purposefully and voluntarily selected and randomly allocated to the experimental and control groups (n = 8 in each group).Training program for groups was carried out in 8 weeks, three sessions per week, and each session lasted about one hour. Patients walking speed was measured, using 25-foot walk test, before and after exercise. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and using analysis of Repeated measures at a significance level of P ≤ 0.05. after training program, the subjects walking speed were significantly increased. Significant improvements observed in walking speed characteristics of the experimental group(P ≤ 0.05).significant differences observed between post test scores in the experimental and control groups(P ≥ 0.05).The results of within-group analysis of variance showed that the external intervention was significantly(p <. 05). Because of increased effect on walking speed, we recommended training program as a complementary treatment alongside medicinal treatments for MS patients.

After low back pain, the neck pain is the most prevalent pain among (especially elderly) peoples. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of one period of exercise program on subjects neck ROM and chronic neck pain. For executing this study 60 elderly patient (24 Males and 36 Females) with mean age 56± 4.5 years old and 71± 4.4 kg with chronic neck pain randomly were selected. Executed exercise program was stretching (for three month) and strengthening exercises (for three month) to accompany with external support in remedial period. Training protocol started with one set of 8 repetition (in first session) and ended with three sets of 16 repetitions (in final session). For measurement of neck muscles flexibility, neck pain, neck range of motion and neck extensor muscles strength were used flexometer, visual analog scale (VAS), Leighton flexometer and dynamometer respectively. Independent and paired t test were used for statistical analysis (p≤ 0.05). The results showed that after accomplishment of exercise program, neck rang of motion and neck extensor muscles strength was increased but cervical lordosis degree and pain score was decreased. Based on this study results, we concluded that exercise program can decrease the amount of pain in people with neck pain. The probable mechanisms that through them exercise program have better results in patients with neck pain, we can refer to increasing cervical muscles strength, increasing range of motion and decreasing cervical lordosis degree.
