amodified technique is designed to prepare aligned nanofibers to challenge the existing limitations in collecting methods of nanofibers such as, thickness of collected layer, alignment and productivity of nanofibers. collecting and simultaneously heating of the aligned nanofibers were carried out by using a rotating drum fixed on top of syringe needles and applying hot air flow. this electrospi...

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 ...

Muscle atrophy following injury can be alleviated by periodic, lateral muscle compression via massage therapy or periodically actuated magnetically hydrogel implants that simulate massage. Although contraction parallel to a muscle’s contractile axis is well known superior such for promoting strengthening in both athletic training and mechanobiology, it not whether this the case preventing disus...

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...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the effects of balance training and muscle training around the ankle joints on the gait of elderly people who have experienced a fall. [Subjects] Twenty-six elderly people with a risk of falling and a Berg Balance Scale score of 37 to 50 points who had experienced a fall in the last year were randomly and equally assigned to either a balance traini...

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...
