Determination of risk factors for lower extremity injury by video analysis during springboard diving

2019

Background: Competitive diving has both a high speed impact and chronic repetitive character. Jumping from the springboard with poor posture or the sheer volume of dives can increase risk of chronic overuse injuries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between dynamic lower extremity malalignments and elite divers' approach the 1 m springboard. Methods: Passive or reflective markers were attached to posterior surface of the subjects' bodies. Twelve elite divers performed "Forward Diving Straight" with one of the Traditional (TRD) or Hurdle pre-flight (HPF) approach on the 1m springboard. Their dynamic malalignments of ankle, knee and hip were evaluated during diving performance. The relationship between approach pattern and dynamic malalignment of ankle, knee, and hip in the frontal plane at each step was determined using “Generalized Estimating Equation” (GEE) with the “Identity Function” and the “Normal Distribution”. Results: The results o...

The Efficacy of Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing: autobiographical memory performance and problem solving skills in women with post-traumatic stress disorder

2015

Back ground & aim: regular Eye desensitization and reprocessing is a kind of psychotherapy which effects the negative memories associated with stress and trauma and is the core of abnormalities related to trauma. Individuals use their autobiographical memories for assembling effective solutions in order to solve common problems. Dysfunctional problem-solving and over-generalized autobiographical memories are important negative results of these problems. The aim of this study was to determine the EMDR efficacy on PTSD symptoms decrease and enhance of problem-solving skills. Methods: This present semi-experimental included 32 patients of the emergency ward of Taleghani Hospital in Kermanshah, Iran, using purposive sampling method (judgment). Among 50 patients, 32 were screened and randomly divided in two experimental and control groups. A modified EMDR protocol was used for patients injured in traumatic events.The experimental group received eight intervention sessions weekly. The control group were placed in the waiting list and met a psychologist four sessions and received usual treatment.psychological questionnaires including revised scale in IES-R, SPSI-R & autobiographical memory test (AMT) were given to the patients and Kolmogorov-Smirnov and ANCOVA statistical tests were applied as well. Results: The results revealed that regular eye desensitization and reprocessing has a main effect on decreasing PTSD symptoms as well as decreasing the amount of over general autobiographical memory representations in women with post-traumatic stress disorder. In other words, the EMDR group patients have less symptoms and higher problem solving skills. Conclusion: The results showed that elements of EMDR based on ALP Francis Shapiro influenced the integration of traumatic event information and identifying the number of symptoms in patients having PTSD.

The Effect of Metacognitive Strategies and Observation of skilled model on Soccer Chip Task Learning

فصلنامه روانشناسی شناختی, 2018

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of metacognitive strategies and observation of skilled model on learning of soccer chip task. The present study was carried out by means of semi-experimental research design. Forty two students, aged 11-13 years old, in region 2th of Tehran, participated in this study. They were divided in 3 groups (control group, observation of skilled model, and observation of skilled model with metacognitive activities). Metacognition group had to complete a semi-structured written interview that prompting them to activate their high-order thinking, before and then of acquisition blocks. An experimental intervention study in of soccer chip shot was conducted with pre-, post-, retention and transfer tests. Repeated measures analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences between groups. The result revealed that metacognitive strategies prompting had significant influence on students' performance.

The Short-Term Effects of Plantar Vibration on Balance Disorder After Stroke (Case Report)

2013

Background: Balance disorders are common in patients following stroke. There are a number of physiotherapy modalities to treat balance impairments, one of which is vibration. The effects of vibration on balance disorders after stroke have not been investigated. This case report demonstrates the short-term effects of plantar vibration on the balance impairment of a patient with stroke. Case presentation: A 72-years-old man with right hemiplegia resulted from stroke was admitted for vibration therapy after not responding to standard rehabilitation interventions. He complained of balance problems despite walking independently. Main studied outcomes were timed up and go test and posturography. Foot sensation, ankle plantar flexor spasticity, and the passive range of ankle dorsiflexion were assessed, as well. Vibration with a frequency of 100 Hz was introduced to the sole of the affected foot for 5 minutes. After intervention, all tests were improved compared to the baselines. Conclusion: This case showed that the vibration was effective for improving balance disorder after stroke.

The Effect of FIFA Comprehensive Warm Up Program “11+” for the Prevention of Ankle Injuries in Soccer Players: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Journal of Research in Rehabilitation Sciences, 2015

Introduction: Ankle sprains are most frequent injuries in soccer. Previous studies showed that FIFA comprehensive warm up program 11+ reduce sport injuries but to date there is limited information on effectiveness of this program on prevention of ankle injuries. Thus, the aim of this randomized controlled Trial was to determine the effect of FIFA comprehensive warm-up program for the prevention of ankle injuries in male young soccer players. Materials and Methods: 980 male young soccer players from 35 teams participated in this study. Teams were randomly assigned to an intervention (n = 17 teams, 476 players) or a control group (n = 18 teams, 504 players). Teams in the intervention group performed the +11 at least twice a week as warm up prior training throughout the season. All participants of the control group continued their practice sessions as usual. All soccer-related injuries and player exposure to practice sessions and matches was registered prospectively by the coaches and ...
