Introduction and purpose: The ability of the elderly to maintain balance during cognitive activity changes. Given the importance of recognizing the nature of the balance disorder among the elderly and the importance of verbal commands in rehabilitating such disorders, the purpose of this study was to investigate the Effectiveness of Dual Task and Focus of Attention Intervention on Balance in El...

a one dimensional dynamic model for a riser reactor in a fluidized bed catalytic cracking unit (fccu) for gasoil feed has been developed in two distinct conditions, one for industrial fccu and another for fccu using various frequencies of microwave energy spaced at the height of the riser reactor (fccu-mw). in addition, in order to increase the accuracy of component and bulk diffusion, instanta...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of motor and cognitive dual-task training on dynamic balance of elderly women. For this purpose, 27 old women (aged 60 -82 years) from the old people center of Birjand city were selected randomly and divided into 3 groupd based on their TUG scores. The groups comprised of cognitive dual-task training, motor dual-task training and contro...

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of inherent and incremental ability theories feedback on dynamic balance in middle-aged women. 29 middle-aged women (age: 50-60) randomly assigned into two groups (inherent ability= 15 subjects, and incremental ability= 14 subjects). Both groups after the dynamic balance pretest (Timed Up and Go) received different instructions feedback. Immediate...

abstract type-ii fuzzy logic has shown its superiority over traditional fuzzy logic when dealing with uncertainty. type-ii fuzzy logic controllers are however newer and more promising approaches that have been recently applied to various fields due to their significant contribution especially when the noise (as an important instance of uncertainty) emerges. during the design of type- i fuz...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of task repetition on accuracy of iranian efl learners ’speaking ability. in order to achieve this purpose, a null hypothesis was developed: there is no statistically significant difference between accuracy speaking ability in iranian efl learners by use of task repetition. ; of course i should mention that, beside this null hypothesis, an...

Background and purpose: Physical activity is one of the components of impulsivity and is one of the risk factors for falls in elderly. In the other words, it causes loss of balance. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between impulsivity level in elderly and their ability in maintaining balance. Materials and methods: This cross-Sectional study was performed in 50 elder...
