background: rounded shoulder posture is a common abnormal posture in upper quarter. kinesiotape is a new intervention that recently used in rehabilitation. there are no studies have examined the effect of kinesiotape on rounded shoulder posture. therefore the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of scapular kinesiotaping and pectoralis minor stretching exercise on forward shoulder ...

background: human body posture influences on his/her physiological functions. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of forward shoulder correction on pulmonary function of elementary female students. methods: subjects of this quasi-experimental research were two groups (n=20) of students with normal posture (np) and forward shoulder posture(fsp)  which is divided randomly into...

background hamstring muscles play an important role in functional activities and relaxation and most people around the world suffer from the shortened muscles. different methods of repairing were suggested and there were disagreements with regard to determination of one technique with high efficiency. objectives this study aimed to introduce more effective method, either a static stretch or hol...

A mathematical model of short-term cardiovascular regulation is used to investigate how heart period variability reflects the action of the autonomic regulatory mechanisms (vagal and sympathetic). The model includes the pulsating heart, the systemic (splanchnic and extrasplanchnic) and pulmonary circulation, the mechanical effect of respiration on venous return, two groups of receptors (arteria...

the range imaging based on conventional pulse compression technique requires lfm signal that sampled by nyquist rate. in order to high resolution increased in range in pulse compression, so the lfm bandwidth has to increase. consequently this procedure dictated limitations on adc sampling. the stretch processing is one of techniques decreasing nyquist rate in radars. in this method the nature o...
