objective neuromuscular characteristics in down syndrome result in generalized muscular hypotonia, developmental delays and sensory integration deficits. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of simultaneous sensory stimulations and current occupational therapy approaches on motor functions development of infants with down syndrome. materials & methods eighteen infants with down synd...

In this paper, a new method based on genetic-fuzzy algorithm for multi-objective optimization is proposed. This method is successfully applied to several multi-objective optimization problems. Two examples are presented: the first example is the optimization of two nonlinear mathematical functions and the second one is the design of PI controller for control of an induction motor drive supplie...

aging has negative effects on motor and cognitive functions, therefore finding appropriate strategies to prevent the decline of these functions is necessary. it seems that cardiovascular fitness obtained by aerobic activity is a physiological mediator that explains the relationship between physical activity and improved cognitive performance. the aim of this research was to assess the effects o...

In this paper a fuzzy expert system for predicting the performance of a switched reluctance motor has been developed. The design vector consists of design parameters, and output performance variables are efficiency and torque ripple. An accurate analysis program based on Improved Magnetic Equivalent Circuit (IMEC) method has been used to generate the input-output data. These input-output data i...

Background and Objective: Cerebro-Vascular Accident (CVA) is considered to be one of the main causes of acquired motor disability in adults. Different motor rehabilitation programs are being designed in order to improve motor difficulties of patients with CVA. In the current study we aimed to assess the effect of task-based mirror therapy on upper limb functions and activities of daily living i...

OBJECTIVE Neurodevelopmental treatments are an advanced therapeutic approach practiced by experienced occupational therapists for the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy. The primary challenge in children with cerebral palsy is gross motor dysfunction. We studied the effects of neurodevelopmental therapy on gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy. MATERIALS & METHODS I...
