Context: Athletes are often examined for return to sports using a functional-testing algorithm. No research has determined whether a closed kinetic chain (CKC) isokinetic testing bout influences the reliability of functional tests. Objective: To determine whether a concentric CKC isokinetic test bout alters test–retest reliability of lower extremity functional testing. Design: Subjects particip...

background and aim: total hip replacement (thr) is done comprehensively all over the world. despite the effects of braces on control of thr complications , few studies have been performed on this subject. the purpose of this study was to evaluate immediate effect of hip abduction brace on mobility and functional balance of patients with thr.    materials and methods: eight men and nine women wi...

Purpose: Design and development of functional movement screening in athletes are one of the important measures taken for reducing the injury in professional sports. Today, functional movement screening aimed at identifying athletes susceptible to injury is designed and implemented based on fundamental functional patterns and the performance of that particular sport. Currently, there are no stan...

abstract background: tamoxifen, a synthetic anti-estrogen agent, is administered as an adjuvant treatment in breast cancer. since various studies have indicated that tamoxifen can change some hormones and bound globolines, controversial results have been achieved using this medicine on thyroid functional tests (tft). the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of tamoxifen on tft...

Objectives: Pronation distortion syndrome is one of the common physical deformities, that causes distortions in the skeletal structures of the feet. The current study aimed to determine the effects of 12 weeks of systematic and functional corrective exercises on the body posture of students with pronation distortion syndrome.  Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 30 volunteers suffering ...
