Abstract Introduction: Coordination and balance is an indicator to determine the degree of independence of the elderly in performing daily activities. Method: In this quasi-experimental study, with a pre-test-post-test design, 30 elderly men referred to Arak nursing home with a mean age (68.03 ± 6.05 years), weight (62.20 ± 9.50 kg) height (163.77 ± 6.93 cm) was available as a sample and random...

Background and purpose: Decreased balance in standing and walking is a common problem of hemiparesis following stroke. The purpose of this study was to quantify and compare the balance control between right and left hemispheric stroke patients and to determine the effect of balance, functional and strengthening exercises on both groups of patients. Methods and Materials: This clinical tria...

Introduction: Maintaining balance in the feet and wrists while helping to improve poor center of gravity adjustment, balancing and properly applying force to climb climbing requirements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of six weeks of training on neuromuscular performance balance and lower extremity function Girls rock climbing.

Background & Objectives: Postural control is a complex function that maintains the vertical center of gravity (COG) and requires the cooperation of three sources of proprioceptive, visual, and vestibular systems. However, somatotype, an anthropometric factor, and fatigue disturb postural control, which leads to sports injuries. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of functional f...

Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate convergent validity, test-retest reliability and internal consistency of the Persian translation of the Fullerton advanced balance (FAB) for use in Iranian community- dwelling older adults and improve the quality of their functional balance assessment. Methods & Materials: The original scale was translated with forward-backward protoco...
