purpose: this research aimed to study the effect of 8 weeks core stability training on static balance of the children with down syndrome. methods: a total of 16 children with down syndrome from rehabilitation center of noor abad city were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups of control (n=8) and experimental (n=8). at the pretest and posttest, subjects’ static balances were evaluated by ...

abstract   introduction: balance is one of the most important contexts in ageing. improving balance in middle age can prevent falling down in elderly which impose the financial and mental costs to society. imbalance between dominant and non-dominant leg can lead to some problems. that’s way; studying effects of similar exercise on dominant and non-dominant legs of body can prevent problems caus...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of five minutes of plantar flexor static stretching (PSS) on the balance and gait of the elderly. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-five subjects aged 65 years and above performed 5 min of PSS in the form of wedge board standing. The sway length of each subject's center of mass was measured to examine the subject's static balance....

this article studied static deflection, natural frequency and nonlinear vibration of a clamped-clamped microbeam under discontinues electrostatic actuation. the electrostatic actuation was induced by applying ac-dc voltage between the microbeam and electrode plate. in contrast to previous works, it was assumed that length of the electrode plate was smaller than that of the microbeam. in additio...

This paper analyzes the effects of structures and loads on the static bending and free vibration problems of bilayer beams. Based on static mechanical equilibrium and energy equilibrium, the static and dynamic governing equations of bilayer beam are established. It is found that the value of the thickness ratio has a significant effect on the static and dynamic responses of the beam, and the st...

load modeling is widely used in power system studies. two types of modeling, namely, static and dynamic, are employed. the current industrial practice is the static modeling. static modelss are algebraic equations of active and reactive power changes in terms of voltage and frequency deviations. in this paper, a component based on static modeling is employed in which the aggregate model is deri...
