Method: In this semi-experimental study, 42 female professional basketball players (age 19-25 years) were assigned to three groups (neuromuscular (NM), strength (ST), and combined training (CM)) and one control group. The Multivariate analysis of the variance (MANOVA) test was used to compare between groups’ data. Dynamic balance and performance measurements (vertical jump, agility and sprint) of athletes were assessed before and after six weeks’ intervention by star excursion balance test (SEBT), Sargent vertical jump device, Shuttle Run device and sprint 27-meter test. Result: Results of the MANOVA test showed all between-group differences for dynamic balance, sprint and agility were just significant between the control group with NM, ST and CM groups (P≤0.05), in addition, the CM group was different significantly between NM and ST groups (P≤0.05). Balance and high jump within-group differences showed a significant increase in NM, ST and CM groups in the high jump variable (P≤0.05). for sprint and agility, within-group results showed a significant decrease in NM, ST and CM groups (P≤0.05). Besides the larger effect size was seen in the combined group for all variables. Conclusion: It seems that neuromuscular, strength and combined training are similarly effective in improving the balance and functional performance of female basketball athletes. and there is not a significant difference between them.","PeriodicalId":436083,"journal":{"name":"Physical Treatments: Specific Physical Therapy Journal","volume":"229 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123297178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Autism spectrum disorders, is a neurodevelopmental disorder with deficit in social interaction characteristics, relationship and stereotyped behaviors. This study was seeking to examine Iranian parents’ perceptions on physical activity for their children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: In this study, an explanatory qualitative methodology used and data collected via semi-structured phone interviews. The samples included 40 parents (aged 25-50 years), in Iran who had children with ASD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 Edition DSM-5 criteria (aged 7-12 years). Results: The results showed that the parents observed their children’s physical activity to decrease greatly contrast to before the pandemic. Parents experienced weight gain, increased anxiety, increased stereotypic behaviors, and decrease orderliness, communicative interactions, and social skills. The parents stated that, when their children were more active before COVID-19 pandemic, they were more cheerful, more adaptable and communicated more verbally. The results determined that parents believed that physical activities have positive effects on the development of their children’s physical health and behavior. They also reported some barriers to their children's participation in physical activity. Conclusion: Participate in daily physical activity and support by parents, were consequential factors to promotion their physical and behavioral health, and the development of their independent performance and quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":436083,"journal":{"name":"Physical Treatments: Specific Physical Therapy Journal","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133625969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various complications such as disability, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, stress, decreased sexual function and quality of life have been reported with chronic low back pain. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the relationship between demographic, health status and physical fitness, socio-economic indicators and sexual function indicators on the quality of life of women with chronic non specific low back pain. Method: The present cross-sectional study was performed in 2020 in the private center of Cyrus Physiotherapy in Tehran, Iran. Thirty married women with non-specific chronic low back pain who were sexually active and living in Tehran were included in the study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. At first, the goals and process of the study were explained to them and they were given written consent to participate in the study. Then demographic information was recorded and pain, sexual function and quality of life were measured using relevant tools. This study was reviewed and approved by the ethics committee of the University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences (Ethics Code: IR.USWR.REC.1399.083) . IBM SPSS Statistics v22 software was used for statistical tests. Pearson correlation test was used to examine the relationship between the above variables. Results: The mean and S.D of age of participants was 38.6 ± 7.48 years . Pearson correlation test analysis showed that between quality of life with body mass index (R = -. 406, P = .026) inversely, and with sexual function score (R = .379, P = .039), general health status (R = .436, P = .016), physical fitness status (R = .406, P = .026 ) and level of education (R = .463, P = .010)) There is a significant direct relationship, but between quality of life with age (R = -. 172, P = .364), number of children (-166. R =, P = .382), pain intensity (R = -. 181, P = .339) and regular exercise (R = - .159, P= 40 .402), no significant relationship was found. Quality of life, respectively, showed a stronger relationship with education level, health status, physical fitness status and body mass index, and finally sexual performance index. Discussion & Conclusion: In women with chronic non-specific back pain participating in the present study, the lower the body mass index, the higher the level of education and sexual function score, as well as the general health and physical fitness status. The quality of life of the present study participants was better. However, the results of this study did not confirm the relationships between quality of life and age, number of children, pain intensity and regular exercises. Improving education, health status, fitness status and body mass index, and sexual function index help improve quality of life.","PeriodicalId":436083,"journal":{"name":"Physical Treatments: Specific Physical Therapy Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124004969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The promising results of Schroth and Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis (SEAS), among other methods of exercise therapy, have attracted the attention of many researchers and therapists. However, there is still vague evidence of their effectiveness and the superiority of one. Therefore, this review aims to evaluate and compare the effects of Schroth and SEAS exercises on correcting AIS. Method: Searches were conducted in databases including Cochrane, MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar during 2005 to December 2021 using keywords related to AIS. Inclusion criteria were the papers using Schroth and SEAS exercises as an intervention. The PEDro scale was used for evaluating the quality of the papers. Results: Ten papers with an average PEDro score of 6.2 were licensed to enter the study. Five randomized controlled trials (RCT) and one clinical controlled trials (CCT) reported a significant reduction in Cobb angle (CA) (greater than 5°) by using the Schroth method (moderate). Moreover, two CCTs and one RCT indicated a significant reduction in CA (greater than 5°) by using the SEAS method (limited). However, no paper was found for choosing superiority between Schroth and SEAS (no evidence). Conclusion: Although there is limited to moderate evidence in the studies, it seems that both Schroth and SEAS exercises were effective in improving AIS, which was more prominent in the study of Schroth method. Nevertheless, accessing to high-quality papers is necessary for achieving more accurate results in the future.","PeriodicalId":436083,"journal":{"name":"Physical Treatments: Specific Physical Therapy Journal","volume":"125 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129696643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, there are ambiguities in choosing the best option. Therefore, the present study was designed to compare these methods. Methods: This randomized clinical trial included 60 patients with NCLBP (25-45 yrs). After selection, they were randomly divided into three groups (20 patients in each) of OEH (including core stability exercises and education), Hydrotherapy, and Physiotherapy (including hot pack, ultrasound, and TENS), then received interventions for 12 weeks. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain before and after treatment. ANOCOVA and paired t-test were used to analyze the data and a significant level of P <0.05. Results: The results showed that all three treatments used in this study had a significant effect (p <0.05) on reducing the pain intensity for the patients after the intervention. There was no significant difference between the three treatments in reducing pain; however, OEH method could reduce the pain to a greater extent (32.79%). Conclusion: Although the present study reaffirms the effectiveness of all three-treatment approaches, no significant differences were found in the selection of the best option. However, depending on the patient's condition, one of these methods can be selected. Therefore, we introduce hydrotherapy, and Physiotherapy methods for the elderly, severe pain and disability, and OEH as an available method to save money, time and, most importantly, prevent Covid-19 disease.","PeriodicalId":436083,"journal":{"name":"Physical Treatments: Specific Physical Therapy Journal","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121784178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To decrease the number of injuries, prevent early retirement, and provide a healthy and safe environment for players, preventive programs are highly recommended. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Sportsmetrics Soccer Training (SMST) on Landing Error Scoring Systems (LESS) and dynamic balance in soccer players. Methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial with pretest-posttest design and training (TG) and control (CG) groups. The statistical population comprised young soccer players over 18 years old recruited from Zulfaqarnasab Soccer Academy in Sanandaj City, Iran. The study participants were 29 soccer players with three years of experience in soccer clubs. The subjects were randomly assigned into TG (n=14, mean±SD age=18.40±0.5 years, mean±SD height=180.40±6.86 cm, mean±SD weight=70.47±9.62 kg) and CG (n=15, mean±SD age=18.64±0.08 years, mean±SD height=179.57±6.72 cm, mean±SD weight=64.64±6.61 kg). The TG group performed SMST three times a week for six weeks (each session lasted 35 to 45 minutes). The CG did not receive any intervention. The LESS (intraclass correlation [ICC]=0.82-0.99) and the Y-balance (ICC=0.91- 0.99) were used for assessing landing errors and dynamic balance. The obtained data were analyzed using the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) (P≤0.05) in SPSS (version 24). Results: The TG showed a significant improvement in scores of LESS (F=48.23, P=0.0001), anterior reach (F=18.26, P=0.0001), posteromedial reach (F=21.15, P=0.0001), and posterolateral reach (F=17.94, P=0.0001) in posttest compared to their baseline results.

This study was performed to investigate the short- and long-term effects of KT on shoulder pain and functional stability in swimmers with SIS. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study (randomized control trial), 28 swimmers with SIS were randomly allocated to the taping and control group. We used the Davis test and Upper Quarter Y-Balance Test (UQYBT) to assess the functional stability of the shoulder girdle and also the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to assess pain. The data were gathered in three time points: pre-test, 20 minutes, and 72 hours after the procedure. For statistical analysis, we used repeated-measures analyses of variance with a significance level of α<0.05. The analyses were done in SPSS. Results: The results showed that the taping group had a significantly improved in Davis test and UQYBT in the follow-up and the post-test and also significantly improved in VAS in the post-test compared to the control group. Also, the mean scores of pain, UQYBT, and Davis tests in the follow-up were significantly improved.
