● There is limited evidence that SEAS exercises can be effective in improving Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). 
● The moderate evidence suggests that the Schroth exercise can be effective in correcting AIS.
● There is no strong evidence to make a definitive choice between the SEAS and Schroth exercises.

Plain Language Summary 
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is one of the most complex and harmful deformities in the musculoskeletal structure of the body, which causes many problems for these patients, especially during the growth spurt. SEAS and Schroth exercises seem to be more prominent among other therapeutic exercises. The most important advantage of the SEAS method is that it is easy to do at home and with family members; however, it takes a long time to correct scoliosis, which is one of its disadvantages. On the other hand, due to the complex exercises of the Schroth method, it requires the presence of adolescents in the clinic, but one of the most important benefits of this method is the correction of scoliosis in a short time. Thus, although the limited to moderate evidence suggests the effectiveness of both Schroth and SEAS in treating AIS, in general, the Schroth method is more prominent.

● Role of abnormal kinetics in the development of patellofemoral pain (PFP) has not been fully investigated.
● Higher loading rates have been associated with knee osteoarthritis and PFP.
● Higher loading rates in PFP patients may correlated to the development of pain and tibiofemoral joint osteoarthritis.

Plain Language Summary 
Protective mechanisms in patients with patellofemoral pain (PFP) result in a decrease in the capacity of active shock absorption and higher passive shock absorbency via the viscoelastic properties of bone and cartilage. As a result, higher loading rates may have destructive effects on the tibiofemoral joint and development of knee osteoarthritis.

● This research utilized qualitative methodologies through semi-structured phone interviews to understand the experiences, attitudes, and feelings of parents using open ended questions.
● The results of this study showed the physical activity levels in children with autism spectrum disorder has substantially decreased compared to before the COVID-19.
● Most of the parents reported weight gain, increased anxiety, decreased orderliness, effective communication, and social skill.

Plain Language Summary 
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 along with home quarantine which has created many challenges for children with ASD and their parents, the researchers decided to pursue research to explore the perception of Iranian parents about their child’s physical activity during the COVID19 pandemic. Interviews are used to achieve insights into a person’s experiences, attitudes, and desires among 40 parents who had children with autism spectrum disorder. Based on the findings of this study, following the COVID19 pandemic, the levels of physical activity in children with ASD have decreased. Parents also observed weight gain, increased anxiety, decreased orderliness and increase stereotypic movements in their children. Parents and educators can play an important role in this physical activity promotion. Iranian parents express a clear need for regular physical activity participation for their children with ASD to help cope with challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and home quarantine orders.
