Highlights 
● The corrective exercises can improve landing kinematic and increase performance in male basketball players with medial knee displacement. 
● This exercises program can prevent noncontact knee injuries caused by medial knee displacement during functional activities like drop vertical jump.

Plain Language Summary 
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of correction of medial knee displacement during drop vertical jump on the performance of male basketball athletes. After participating in 10 sessions of the corrective exercise program, the basketball players experienced significant improvements in kinematic variables during drop vertical jump (such as reduced medial knee displacement) and also significant improvements in performance variables. The implications of this study might suggest that personal trainers, coaches, and basketball players employ this corrective exercise program to improve knee kinematic during drop vertical jump and enhance athletes’ performance.

Highlights 
● Strength training can improve balance in older adults.
● Balance training can improve balance in older adults.
● Combination of balance and strength training can improve balance in older adults

Plain Language Summary 
The weakness of balance can result in irrecoverable damages, so this study aimed to compare three training programs on the balance of inactive older men. For this purpose, we put the subjects in three different groups, and each of them performed one kind of training program, i.e., strength, balance, and combined (strength and balance) training for 8 weeks. At the end of the protocol, we compared the change in balance in all groups. The result showed that all methods could improve older people’s balance significantly, so we recommend these methods for improving balance in older adults. 

Highlights 
● The groups with balance-corrective exercises showed significant improvement in static and dynamic balance. These exercises can improve balance performance in mentally retarded students with developmental coordination disorder
● Balance-corrective exercises can be one of the best ways to improve posture control, balance and motor performance of mentally retarded people with developmental coordination disorder.

Plain Language Summary 
Mentally retarded students with developmental coordination disorder have more balance problems. Physical activities such as balance-corrective exercises can be used as a completely safe and low-cost way to improve their balance. In this study, we found out that balance-corrective exercises for 8 weeks can improve balance performance of these students. Hence, this intervention is recommended as a useful method for improving individual autonomy in such group of people.

Highlights 
● The selected plyometric training significantly improved Sargent and Illinois jumping tests.
● The selected plyometric training significantly improved dynamic balance.

Plain Language Summary 
To improve the skill level of athletes, researchers always seek innovative and efficient training programs and methods. This study is presenting one of the new techniques.

Highlights 
● The effects of cortical and peripheral stimulation on brain activity in patients with LBP are unknown.
● The study will provide high-level evidence about cortical effects of transcranial direct current stimulation and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for low back pain treatment.
● Our finding can assist clinical practice and decision-making process for the treatment of low back pain.

Plain Language Summary 
This clinical trial will assess the effects of cortical and peripheral stimulation on brain activity in patients with chronic low back pain. The results of this study may help to find a more effective treatment for chronic low back pain.

Highlights 
● Corrective exercises with and without myofascial release methods have a significant effect on forward shoulder deformity.
● Corrective exercises with the myofascial release are more effective than corrective exercises alone in the correction of forward shoulder deformity.
● Corrective exercises with myofascial release have more persistent results than corrective exercises alone in the correction of forward shoulder deformity.

Plain Language Summary 
Forward shoulder posture (aka rounded shoulder posture) is a common condition in the shoulder and neck. It can cause neck and upper back pain, along with tension-type headaches. One of the best methods for correcting this condition and preventing subsequent pain is by applying specific exercises. Result of this study showed that both training methods (training with and without of myofascial release) could be useful in correcting the forward shoulder deformity.

Highlights 
● A long-term corrective exercises program with using brace improves thoracic kyphosis curve in a 14-year-girl with adolescence idiopathic scoliosis.
● A long-term corrective exercises program with using brace improves postural control factors in a 14-year-girl with adolescence idiopathic scoliosis.

Plain Language Summary 
The main goals of all therapeutic interventions are to restrict or stop the spine curvature increase in scoliosis and its consequences. This case study showed that simultaneous use of a brace and long-term corrective exercises with an emphasis on the development of postural control variables could be useful in correcting the scoliosis curves in an adolescent girl with idiopathic scoliosis.
