Variation during practice is widely accepted to be advantageous for motor learning and is, therefore, a valuable strategy effectively reduce high-risk landing mechanics prevent primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Few attempts have examined the specific effects of variable training in athletes who undergone ACL reconstruction. Thereby, it still unclear what extent variations different sensor areas lead effects. Accordingly, we compared versatile movement (DL) with movements...

OBJECTIVE: Motor imagery (MI) has been recently considered as an adjunct to physical rehabilitation in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). It is necessary assess MI abilities and benefits MS by using a reliable tool. The Kinesthetic Visual Imagery Questionnaire (KVIQ) was developed ability stroke other disabilities. Considering the different underlying pathologies, present study aimed examine validity reliability of KVIQ patients. METHOD: Fifteen were assessed 2 sessions (5-14days apart)...

Background and Purpose: The effectiveness of motor imagery (MI) as an adjunct to physical rehabilitation has previously been shown. Motor ability can be affected by neurologic disorders that affect cognitive function. This study was designed assess MI in persons with mildly disabling relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) based on the functional dysfunctions. Methods: Twenty-two participants RRMS 23 age-, gender-, education-matched comparison subjects were evaluated a battery tasks,...

The physical health assessment of university students in Iran is a national large scale examining behaviors among tertiary education students. Understanding risky which are the major sources global mortality and morbidity adulthood key objective this assessment. In academic year 2012–2013, newly admitted (N = 151,671) at 74 governmental eligible universities that had center from 28 provinces were invited to participate program. evaluated by using questionnaire. test-retest reliability method...

Mental imagery impairment has been reported in schizophrenia. The present study aimed to investigate the neural evidence for mental patients with participants included 20 chronic schizophrenia and 18 healthy control subjects. Event-related potentials were recorded during a hand rotation task, which instructed judge laterality of hands displayed different orientations. performances significantly less accurate slower than subjects on task. Moreover, showed reduced rotation-related negativity...

Aim Deficits in mental imagery ability have been reported patients with schizophrenia. However, there is scarce evidence about the correlation between impairment rotation and other cognitive deficits patients. The aim of this study was to assess ability, along measures function Methods performance 29 schizophrenia compared healthy controls. Mental measured Hand Rotation Task, functions were Brief Assessment Cognition Schizophrenia ( BACS ). Results On significantly slower less accurate...

Objectives: As a major feature of the disease, motor-related complications, including loss balance and reduced ability to walk were seen in multiple sclerosis (MS). The purpose this study was investigate effect core stability exercises transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) as non-invasive brain on balance, walking capacity, quality life patients with MS. Methods: In randomized clinical trial pretest-posttest design, 29 female an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) less than 4.5...

The aim of this study was to compare the effect and durability perturbation vestibular exercises on balance risk falling in people with visual impairment (VI). Thirty-six men VI were divided into three groups, including a control two experimental (perturbation vestibular) groups. groups performed for 4 weeks sessions per week. Biodex system used assess before after training interventions. To evaluate effects within between at levels measurement: pre-test, post-test, repeated measures...

Purpose: Visually-impaired individuals encounter difficulties in balance control and quality of life, experience more instability, compared to healthy people. Thus, the present study aimed evaluate effects vestibular exercises training program on postural control, risk falling, life with visual impairment. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest group design. In total, 24 men impairment were randomly divided into experimental groups. The performed 4-week exercise for 3 weekly...

Considering the potential effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to improve motor imagery purpose this study was investigate effects tDCS on prefrontal and postparietal cortex in hand mental rotation (HMR). This investigation a single-blind, randomized which 60 healthy right-hand college students (30 males 30 females, age 24.27±0.19 years) volunteered attend. Using simple random method, participants were divided into four groups: anodal: F4 (n=15) P4 (n=15), sham: (n=15)....

Objectives: Walking and balance control are determining factors in the independence of elderly because they main components daily physical activity. This study evaluated effectiveness Dynamic Neuromuscular Stability (DNS) training on gait function elderly. Methods: had a pre-test/post-test design. It was quasi-experimental performed 30 older men aged 60-70 years Qom Province, Iran, 2021. The randomly divided into experimental (n=15) groups. Experimental Group (EG) participated three 45-min...

Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of 6 weeks Dynamic Neuromuscular Stability (DNS) training on performance (lower limb strength, flexibility, fall risk) and quality life in elderly. Materials Methods: This was a quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design. research performed 30 elderly males, aged 60-70 years Qom Province, Iran 2021. examined were randomly divided into experimental control groups (n=15/group). Furthermore, group participated three 45-minute...

Background and Aims Physical mental disabilities diseases increase with the onset of old age. On other hand, observation older people who have considerably maintained their cognitive physical abilities by changing lifestyle rejects belief that age is always associated profound defects. In this regard, study aimed to investigate effectiveness Tai Chi exercises on balance, fear falling, working memory, selective attention in women. Methods The present an applied which 47 women a mean...
