[ 1 ] - The efficacy of a home-mechanical traction unit for patients with mild to moderate cervical osteoarthrosis: A pilot study

Background: Traction has been suggested to be an effective treatment for symptoms of neck disorder in patients with no contraindications. However, according to previous researches, the effectiveness of traction is controversial, particularly compared to other conservative treatments. This trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of sustained traction, using an over-the-door home cervical trac...

[ 2 ] - Comparison of the postural control between football players fol-lowing ACL reconstruction and healthy subjects

  Background :Rupture of the Anterior Cruciate Ligment (ACL) is a common knee injury. The purpose of this study was to determine the balance control in football players with and without ACL reconstruction in posture of injury.   Methods : Sway of the center of gravity of 15 patients with ACL reconstruction was compared with 15 healthy, age and sex-matched subjects as the control group. All test...

[ 3 ] - مقایسه پایداری تشخیص قرینگی برخی آزمونهای مفصل ساکروایلیاک بین معاینه شونده علامتدار و بدون علامت ابتلا به درد پایین کمر

مقدمه و اهداف تکرارپذیری آزمون­های دستی اهمیت زیادی دارد، زیرا آزمون­های دستی مفصل ساکروایلیاک در ارزیابی این ناحیه زیاد استفاده می­شوند و اینکه آزمون پاراکلینیک موفقی وجود ندارد. هدف مطالعه حاضر اندازه­گیری پایداری تشخیص برخی از آزمون­های دستی مفصل ساکروایلیاک و همچنین مقایسه آن بین معاینه­شونده علامت­دار و بدون علامت بود. انجام این مقایسه تاکنون در مطالعات مشابه انجام نشده بود. مواد و روش ­...

[ 4 ] - اندازه گیری ترس از حرکت یا آسیب مجدد، قبل و بعد از انجام آزمون‌های عملکردی در بیماران با نقص رباط صلیبی قدامی

مقدمه و اهداف یکی از شایع‌ترین آسیب‌های ورزشی، پارگی رباط صلیبی قدامی است. علی­رغم صرف هزینه‌های بسیار برای جراحی بازسازی این رباط همچنان نرخ بازگشت به سطح پیش‌ از آسیب در میان این بیماران پایین است. یکی از موانع بازگشت به سطح پیش‌ از آسیب، ترس از حرکت‌ یا آسیب مجدد (کینزیوفوبیا) در این بیماران است. هدف مطالعه­ی حاضر، اندازه‌گیری کینزیوفوبیا قبل و بعد از انجام آزمون‌های عملکردی در بیماران با ن...

[ 5 ] - The Effect of Voluntary and Electrically Stimulated Quadriceps Muscle Fatigue on Postural Control

Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of voluntary and electrically stimulated quadriceps muscle fatigue on postural control. Methods: Sixteen healthy young males participated in this quasi-experimental study. All subjects performed two fatiguing exercises with equal intensity of isometric maximal voluntary contraction: Voluntary (VOL) and Electrical Stimulation (ES). The ...

[ 6 ] - Apoptosis of Rat Adipose-Derived Stem Cells during Transdifferentiation to Schwann-Like Cell

Background: Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are a population of pluripotent cells used for tissue engineering purposes. The main purpose of the present study was to transdifferentiate the ADSCs to Schwann-like cells and to determine the intensity of apoptosis in ADSCs during the transdifferentiation process. Methods: ADSCs were isolated from the inguinal adipose tissue of adult rats and the ...

[ 7 ] - School Screening of Spinal Malailgments in 7-9 years old students in South of Tehran-Iran: A cross sectional study

Background: This study was performed to determine the prevalence of spinal deviation such as forward head posture (FHP), exacerbated kyphosis, lumbar lordosis and scoliosis among 7 to 9-year-old students in the south of Tehran Done. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 2114 healthy students with an average age of 7.99 ± 0.81year, 1059 of which were females and 1055 were males. ...

[ 8 ] - Manipulation Effect on Lumbar Kinematics in Patients with Unilateral Innominate Rotation and Comparison with Asymptomatic Subjects

Background: Lumbar motion analysis is used as a clinical method in the diagnosis and treatment of low back pain (LBP). So far, no studies have shown if manipulating the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) will change spinal kinematics.Objective: The main objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of SIJ manipulation on the lumbar kinematics in subjects with innominate rotation and to compare l...
