[ 1 ] - The Consistency and Construct Validity of Wolf Motor Function Test With Functional Variables and SF-36 Questionnaire in Iranian Stroke Patients
Background: One of the most important indicators for assessing the validity of a scale is the determination of the construct validity of that scale. Since no standard gold test exists to measure the upper limb function in patients with stroke, the study of the construct validity of the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) is of particular importance. Objectives: To evaluate the construct validity o...

[ 3 ] - بررسی ارتباط بین یافته های سونوگرافی با درد، دامنه حرکتی، سطح ناتوانی و آستانه تحمل فشار در بیماران مبتلا به سندروم درد میوفاشیال عضله تراپزیوس فوقانی
Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the association of ultrasonography findings with pain, range of motion, disability, and pressure pain threshold in patients with upper trapezius myofascial pain syndrome. Methods: A total of 60 subjects with upper trapezius myofascial pain syndrome (mean age: 25.90±4.47 y mean weight: 63.53±7.76 kg mean height: 166.55±5.65 cm and pa...
[ 4 ] - بررسی تاثیرات وابسته به دوز لیزر کم توان روی درد و دامنه حرکتی بیماران مبتلا به بیرون زدگی دیسک کمر
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of low level laser therapy (LLLT)on pain and range of motion(ROM) in patients with lumbar disc protrusion. Materials & Methods: A sample of convenience of 45 patients randomly assigned to 3 groups (n=15) including: High dose LLLT group (Dose= 40 j/cm2,age=35/886±5/8 mass= 70/4±8/7), low dose LLLT group (Dose= 7 j/cm2 ,age=36/13±6/3 mass= 69/3±13/5) and c...
[ 5 ] - The Correlation of Supra Patella Effusion With Pain and Disability in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis
Objectives: The present research aimed to evaluate the relationship of supra patella effusion with pain and disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis by Ultrasonography (US). Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 60 patients with knee OA (Mean±SD score of body mass index: 29.81±5.64 kg/m2 and age: 50.48±7.57 years) were selected by nonprobability sampling method. Supra patella effusion wa...
[ 6 ] - The Effects of Ultrasound-Guided Dry Needling on Patients With Myofascial Pain Syndrome: A Review Study
Objectives: Dry Needling (DN) is a novel and effective intervention for patients with Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS). Some characteristics, such as needle penetration depth, needle insertion into the target muscle, and trigger points must be identified in this intervention. The Ultrasound (US)-guided DN is a technique that involves needle insertion at the site of injury and the simulation of ti...
