In this paper a brushless permanent magnet motor is designed considering minimum thrust ripple and maximum thrust density (the ratio of the thrust to permanent magnet volumes). Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used as optimization method. Finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out base on the optimized and conventional geometric dimensions of the motor. The results of the FEA deal to ...

Objectives: To determine the role of child factors in the prediction of parental attitudes towards children and adolescents with CP in Iran. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. One hundred fifty-two children and adolescents with CP aged 7-17 years (mean = 10.93, SD = 3.46) with a mother aged at least 25 years were selected using systematic random sampling. The Mother-Child Relati...

Background & Objective:  Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. Postural control and motor function disorders are the most common MS related symptoms. Currently, exercise therapy seems to be the most effective non-pharmacological approach in controlling and improving these disorders. Thus, the present study intends to study the effect of ...

Objective: Poor motor skill performance can place children with ADHD at risk of developing a weak self-concept, high anxiety levels, and a poor social function. The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of a moderate- to high-intensity paintball game program on fitness, cognitive functions, and ADHD-related behavior in children with ADHD. Method: A total of 21 participants (age in ye...

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...

sleep deprivation (sd) increases the risk of human-error related accidents and a major cause of motor vehicle accidents. the overall prevalence of insufficient sleep in adults has been estimated at 20%. according to a comprehensive study prevalence of daytime sleepiness, among young adults (age 21 to 30 years), the average nocturnal sleep time during weekdays was 6.7 hours and on weekends was 7...

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 effect...
