Recent studies in rehabilitation procedures emphasize on functional suspension training using body weight resistance against gravity by unstable tools and equipment that are similar to daily activities. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of total body resistance exercise (TRX) suspension training on functional balance in patients with MS. Materials & Methods: This study included 34 females with MS and expanded disability status scale of 1-4 as well as the age range of 20-50 years who referred to Isfahan MS Society. The participants were intentionally selected and assigned nonrandomly into two groups of control (n=15) and experimental (n=19). The training protocol included 8 TRX movements with four difficulty levels from simple to difficult for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week, and each session lasting 45 minutes. ...

One hundred fourteen middle age (20-30 years-old) person (228 feet) based on hallux valgus angle (HVA) divided into; control group (74 feet), mild HVA (88 feet) and moderate HVA (66 feet). Radiography picture was used for analysis HVA. Then picture was taken by scanner and research variables measured by using AutoCad software. The results of this study did not show significant differences between groups in length of the first of metatarsal and distal phalanx of the hallux (p>0.05). The length of the Proximal phalanx of the hallux in mild and moderate HV groups was significantly shorter than control group (p=0.001). Also the length of the thumb in mild and moderate HV groups was shorter then control group (p<0.05). The maximal amount of hallux deviation was in mild, moderate HV an control group respectively (p=0.000). There ...

Recent studies emphasize on functional suspension training using body weight resistance against gravity. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of total body resistance exercise (TRX) on sexual function and QOL in patients with MS. Materials and Methods: Among 93 female patients referred to Isfahan Multiple Sclerosis Society (IMSS) 34 females in the age range of 20 to 50 years with expanded disability status scale of 1-4 were selected as a statistical sample. The participants were intentionally selected into two of control (n=15) and experimental (n=19) groups. The experimental group received the TRX program for 8 weeks and the control group received their usual care. Results: The results showed that there was a significant improvement in physical function (P=0.001), role limitations due to physical problems (P=0.001) and emotional (P=0.015), physical health (P=0.018), sexual function (P=0.018) and sexual satisfaction (P=0.040) of the experimental group compared to the control group. However, no significant differences were found n relation to pain (P=0.485), emotional well-being (P=0.468), energy (P=0.459), health perceptions (P=0.600), social function (P=0.116), cognitive function (P=0.896), concern about their health distress (P=0.118) and mental health (P=0.091), between the two groups. Conclusion: TRX has the necessary components to improve the physical dimensions of quality of life and sexual function of patients with MS.

Recent physical exercises tailored to improve the activity of daily living people with MS have focused on the functional training. Objective: To investigate the effect of total body resistance exercise suspension training on mobility, proprioception, and muscle strength of the knee in people with MS. Design: Single-blind pretest and posttest control group design. Setting: Referral Center of Multiple Sclerosis Society. Participants: Thirty-four women with relapsing–remitting MS were participated in this study. The mean (SD) of their age was 36.44 (4.88) years, and the Expanded Disability Status Scale was 2.35 (0.94). The participants were divided into 2 groups: control group (n = 15) and training group (n = 19). Intervention: The training group performed the total body resistance exercise pro...

One hundred fourteen middle age (20-30 years-old) person (228 feet) based on hallux valgus angle (HVA) divided into; control group (74 feet), mild HVA (88 feet) and moderate HVA (66 feet). Radiography picture was used for analysis HVA. Then picture was taken by scanner and research variables measured by using AutoCad software. The results of this study did not show significant differences between groups in length of the first of metatarsal and distal phalanx of the hallux (p>0.05). The length of the Proximal phalanx of the hallux in mild and moderate HV groups was significantly shorter than control group (p=0.001). Also the length of the thumb in mild and moderate HV groups was shorter then control group (p<0.05). The maximal amount of hallux deviation was in mild, moderate HV an control group respectively (p=0.000). There wasn't significant different between 1 and 2 intermetatarsal angle (IMA) between control and mild group (p=0.732). The angle between 1 and 2 intermetatarsal in moderate HV was significantly higher then control and mild HV groups (p<0.05). Also dislocation of sesamoied bones there was not significant different between groups (p=0.001). It is concluded, that length of the first metatarsal and phalanxes the hallux cannot considered as an endogenous risk factor in mild to moderate HV.
