The disorder diagnoses when children have significant reading, writing, and math skills lower than expected. One of the characteristics of children with a learning disorder is the presence of anxiety symptoms, which are often chronic, and failure to address them can negatively affect the child's growth and academic performance. Assertiveness training is a structured intervention that uses to reduce the symptoms of anxiety. The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of assertiveness training on anxiety symptoms of male school-age children with special learning disorders in Tehran City, Iran. Materials and Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental research in which a pre-test in addition post-test design with a control group used along with a five weeks follow-up. The population included 8-11 year-old male children who were studying in the Learning Disorders Centers in Tehran City in the school year 2019-2020. The sample consisted of 130 male school-age children who were in convenient selected from the five educational districts (2, 13, 12, 18, and 15). At first, the Colored Progressive Matrices (CPM) assessed all subjects and 72 children who got a normal intelligence quotient (≥85) completed the Child Spence Anxiety Scale (SCAS-C). The studied sample was selected according to the formula for the determining the sample size and the probability of its drop-out (34 people). After scoring the SCAS-C, 45 children received a moderate anxiety (44-88 points). Thirty-four students (19, 10, and 5, respectively with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia) were randomly selected among them and matched based on their age, school grade and socio-economic status. They randomly assigned to the experimental and control group with mean and standard deviation of age 10.45±2.25 and 8.87±1.89 respectively. The experimental group divided into three subgroups (six people in two groups and five people in one) due to the efficacy of training in small groups and participated in 10 assertiveness training sessions (twice a week and 90 minutes for per session) while the control group received only the mainstream programs in the Learning Disorder Center. All subjects assessed by the SCAS-C at the end of the training sessions and five weeks follow-up. The obtained data from pre-test and post-test situations analyzed by using univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance.

Osteoarthritis causes progressive disability and changes in gait parameters, decreased function and quality of life of patients by causing malalignment of the knee in the frontal plane following destruction of articular cartilage. Braces as a mechanical intervention are a successful treatment for osteoarthritis knee and its associated malalignment. Using a three-point pressure mechanism, braces create a natural alignment in the knee by straps attached to the thigh and shank shells, which reduce the medial knee load and correct the valgus alignment. This distributes the force properly while walking. However, applying a constant force on three pressure points of the leg, thigh and affected knee joint reduces the Adduction angle of the knee in all phases of gait cycle, while the correction of the adduction angle of the knee in patients is essential only in phases between 30% to 60% of the stance phase, when the knee deviation reaches its peak. The aim of this study is to design and fabricate a brace joint with a new intermittent correction mechanism for patients with osteoarthritis medial compartment knee and to investigate its effect on a patient's gait parameters. Technique The new joint design of the knee brace was based on the conversion of the knee extension movement at the end of the swing on the sagittal plate to the abduction movement on the frontal plate by stretching the converter piece. Participant gait was assessed in two ways with and without braces. Kinematic variables including knee joint angles in the sagittal and frontal planes and spatio-temporal variables of patient gait were measured and recorded. Results The overall results of the new brace joint function on the knee showed that the angle of flexion of the knee in the swing phase increased from 44.72 ° to 46.19 ° when using brace. Also, knee adduction angle in the stance phase decreased from 4.25 ° to 2.3 ° and patient's walking speed while wearing the brace increased from 0.88 m / s to 0.93 m / s. On the other hand, step length increased from 1.125 m to 1.451 m when using brace and the percentage of stance phase decreased from 63.53 to 62.68 when using brace. Result In this one-sample study, a knee brace with a new joint was able to help correct the direction of knee joint in the frontal and sagittal plane and affect the patient's gait parameters.

The present study aimed to investigate the performance on production of inflectional morphemes & phrase & clause structures of children with moderately severe hearing loss (MSHL) and compare with those of the children with normal hearing (NH). Materials & Methods: Participants were 88 children with NH, aged 2-5 years old, and 10 children with MSHL, aged 5-6 years old recruited by convenient sampling. Speech therapists collected language samples in a free play context, and then they transcribed and segmented language samples according to P-LARSP. From 100 analyzable units, they identified, allocated and counted 14 inflectional morphemes and all clause & phrase structures in each language sample. Results: Children with MSHL had significantly fewer numbers of inflectional morphemes (p = 0.004), verb/complement + personal pronoun (p = 0.009), and prefix /mi/ as a tense marker (p = 0.025), lower MLUmorpheme/analyzable utterances (p = 0.003), higher percentages of one-word utterances (p = 0.001), and lower numbers of clause structures in stage V (p = 0.002) compared with children with NH aged 4-5 years old. While the types of clause structures in children with MSHL were similar to the children with NH aged 24-36 months, the types of produced inflectional morphemes were restricted compared with the all groups of children with NH. Conclusion: The present study revealed that children with MSHL lag behind younger children with NH in grammatical aspects of Persian language. They used simpler clauses, limited numbers & types of inflectional morphemes, and clause & phrase structures, and mainly relied on one-word utterances. Continued monitoring of grammatical outcomes is warranted considering that children who are MSHL are at increased risk for language problems.","PeriodicalId":46374,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF REHABILITATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75192737","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}

These activities begin in infancy and are modified at different stages of development. Cultural values, parental expectations, social routines, and the physical environment influence daily activities. Concerns about children's use of time and daily activities are not new, but studies on them are rare. So to have more information and knowledge about children's lives and well-being, we need to have more information about their daily activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the time allocated to daily life activities based on the day of the week, age and gender in healthy children under 5 years in Isfahan. Methods: In this survey (descriptive-analytical) study in which healthy children under 5 years old in Isfahan were present, from different age groups according to the population of that age group, 240 girls and boys so that the number of girls and boys were equal in the age categories of less than 1 month, 2 to 3 months, 4 to 6 months, 7 to 12 months, 1 to 2 years and 3 to 5 years, were selected by multi-stage, stratified, cluster and convenience sampling . In order to collect research data, demographic questionnaire and time use diary tools were used. Results: The results showed that on weekdays, among the components of daily life activities, the most time with an average of 150.59 minutes per day is devoted to eating (and drinking) and the least time with an average of 0.02% per day is devoted to caring of Personal belongings, while in the last days on average the most time is spent eating (and drinking) and the least time is spent on other daily activities. In different age groups on weekdays, infants 0 to 1 month with an average of 273.35 minutes per day have the most time and children 25 to 60 months with an average of 154.65 minutes per day have the least time devoted to daily life activities on weekdays. Meanwhile, infants in the age group of 0-1 months on a weekend spent the most time on daily activities and children in the age group of 25-60 months spent the least time on daily activities. Girls and boys spent the most time eating (and drinking) among the activities of daily living on a weekend, while boys and girls spent the least time on other daily activities that are not categorized in this study.
