Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, inflammatory and chronic disease that occurs as myelin damage and destruction in the white matter of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves and causes functional problems in the patient. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of 8- week core stability training on some of functional indices in women with multiple sclerosis. ...

Objective: The 3000-meter run is one of the most popular and enduring materials among endurance and semi-endurance races and because of the special conditions of this field, which can use aerobic and anaerobic energy production systems at the same time. We evaluated the effect of eight weeks resistance and endurance training on physiological, functional factors and elite runner's record. Metho...

Background and Objective: Functional ankle instability (FAI), characterized by feeling of “giving way” and recurrent episodes of ankle sprain, is the most prevalent problem following ankle sprain which causes balance deficits and limitations in activity and sport and can affect health status. Little is known about correlation between self-reported instability-as chief complaint of i...

Objectives: Joint supporters can caused increasing proprioceptive information. Such proprioceptive information is needed for balance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of soft knee support on static and dynamic balance tests in male elderly (65 years and older). Methods & Materials: Via a randomized clinical trial study design, 22 elderly were selected and divided into tw...

This research was conducted to examine the effect of adding forward and backward running in a wobble training program on some of functional static balance tests. In this research 30 young male(15-35 years) with sprain of lateral ligaments (grade I,II) of ankle joint were selected by non-probability sampling and assigned randomly into three groups: Group 1 included 10 subjects that perfo...

Introduction: The present study evaluates reliability of functional balance assessment tests in children aged 7-10 and its correlation with selected anthropometric parameters. Methodology: Population of the study includes 80 students aged 7-10 (40 female and 40 male). The Sharpened Romberg Test was used for static balance, while timed up and go test, Tandem walk test, and Y test were used for ...

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the static and dynamic balance in basketball students with an ankle injury history. Methods: Subjects of this study were 36 elementary school basketball male students who participated in this study purposefully and voluntarily. Subjects were divided into two groups of 18 people with an ankle injury and the control group without ankle injury. To measur...
