Background and Objectives: Among the foot orthoses prescribed to improve postural control in chronic ankle instability, foot orthoses designed to affect both types of mechanical and functional instability have a limited research background. In the present study, a type of foot orthosis named the custom mold with a raised ridge around the perimeter was designed, and manufactured, and its effect ...

introduction: sensory-motor control and in general gaining balance will be impaired after an ankle injury and in fatigue situations. the aim of this research was to study the effect of exercise-based fatigue on static and dynamic balance in mountaineering athletes who were successful in returning to a suitable level of physical activity after an ankle sprain injury. materials and methods: 25 ac...

Thisarticle presents the evaluation of static and dynamic behavior of simply supported sigmoid functionally graded ordinary (SFGO) beam. A finite element method is used considering first order shear deformation for the analysis.The element chosen in the present case is different from the conventional elements in the sense that the shape functions of the element is obtained from the exact soluti...

In this study, a realistic model for dynamic instability of embedded single-walled nanotubes (SWCNTs) conveying pulsating fluid is presented considering the viscoelastic property of the nanotubes using Kelvin–Voigt model. SWCNTs are placed in longitudinal magnetic fields and modeled by sinusoidal shear deformation beam theory (SSDBT) as well as modified couple stress theory. The effect of slip ...

optimization of training results and improvement of response requires selecting appropriate stimulus and are goals of any training program. it seems that ischemic-reperfusion preconditioning (irpc) can be a suitable stimulus to increase submaximal contractile responses. therefore, this study aimed at investigating the effect of ischemic-reperfusion preconditioning and remote preconditioning (ir...
