● The TheraBanddd exercise improves the Q angle in individuals with genu valgum abnormality.
● The TheraBand exercise improve distance of ankle medial malleolus in individuals with genu valgum abnormality.
Plain Language Summary
Physical posture is the alignment of different body parts with each other. When an individual is in a poor physical posture,due to the high pressure on different body parts, the body direction generates a deformity. This constant pressure, even if relatively low, could cause non-anatomical compatibility. Genu valgum also increases the Q angle in this group. The Q angle is the angle between the quadriceps muscle line and the patellar tendon line, i.e. reported to be 10-14 degrees in men and 14-18 in women. TheraBandd exercises, as a safe tool, are effective to improve the neuromuscular system, muscle strength, and the ability to perform functional tasks. The obtained statistical results suggested that TheraBandd training significantly decreased the Q angle and the distance of ankle medial malleolus in the explored subjects with genu valgum deformity.

● Individuals with forward head posture showed significantly weaker dynamic postural stability (more postural sways) than normal ones.
● No significant difference was observed in static postural stability between individuals with and without forward head posture.
Plain Language Summary
The rising use of media devices, such as smartphone and PCs in the era of technology has made us maintain specific postures for long periods, which results in some sort of adaptations accordingly. These adaptations make the body to deviate from normal posture. Sustaining a good posture is a big part of our health. It ensures that the bones are well aligned with the rest of the body, while the tension in the muscles and ligaments is properly distributed. It also keeps the body parts in their correct positions with the least stress. The key to good posture is the position of the spine. Forward head posture is a poor habitual neck posture which is known by moving the head in forward direction in relation to the rest of the body. This posture is increasing in individuals as an outcome of the modern lifestyle. We need a good balance to do everything. Deviating from normal posture can affect the optimum function of the body. Since with forward head posture the body gets out of the line of balance, we aimed to see if the balance control could be affected with the forward head posture; hence, we selected students with normal posture and forward head posture and measured static and dynamic balance and compared the scores of the two groups. The results showed a dysfunction in individuals with forward head posture performing dynamic balance compared to the normal ones.

● Using comprehensive electronic surveillance methods for data collection can reduces missed data.
● The use of easy access and user-friendly tools to record sport injuries provides effective and accurate data.
Plain Language Summary
Sport injuries cause athletes, clubs and insurance companies to huge direct and indirect costs, keeping the athlete away from training and match for days and even months, loss of job opportunities and quality of life. Sport injury data collection is the first step of achieving injury prevention. Sports injury surveillance systems try to collect information related to sports injuries. The present study compared the injuries reported to Sport Injury Surveillance System (SISS) and Sport Injury Reporting System (SIRS) in a period of 6 months. Comprehensive systematic and web-based electronic surveillance methods reduce missing data. It is also effective to use easy access and user-friendly tools to record sport injuries in order to facilitate and accelerate injury reporting.

● The core exercise program could improve pain and performance in women with patella femoral pain syndrome.
● The hip strengthening program could improve pain and performance in women with patella femoral pain syndrome.
● There were not any difference between core exercise and hip strengthening programs regarding pain intensity and performance.
Plain Language Summary The purpose of current study was investigate the effects of two exercise programs including core stability exercise and hip strengthening exercise on pain and performance of women with patella femoral pain syndrome. The result of study showed the both kind of exercise programs could improve pain and performance of women with patella femoral pain syndrome. However, there were not any difference between core exercise and hip strengthening programs regarding pain intensity and performance.

● SME reduced pain and increased strength, facilitated the frequency and activation time of quadriceps and hip abductor muscles.
● SME reduced PD and DNV.
Plain Language Summary
Therapists are always looking for a comprehensive treatment approach to provide the best therapeutic outcome with an emphasis on improving movement patterns in patients with PFPS. The present study provided a comprehensive treatment approach for patients with PFPS.

● MS is among the present century diseases with a large outbreak in Iran and worldwide.
● Physicians used to advise patients with MS to avoid exercise, i.e. because of fatigue.
● However, today, exercise therapy, is a cost-effective and influential method in reducing functional impairments in patients with MS.
● The problems of balance and postural control are prevalent in patients with MS.
Plain Language Summary
A large number of females and males suffer from MS. The treatment of MS consists of supportive and rehabilitation care. Physicians used to advise patients with MS to avoid exercise, however, today, exercise therapyis an influential method in reducing functional impairments in patients with MS. The problems of balance and postural control, as well as falls, are prevalent in patients with MS. Vestibular rehabilitation is among the most significant manifestations in balance disorders. The present research aimed to examine the effects of a 6-week exercises on static balance and movement ability in female patients with MS.

● The plyometric fatigue protocol caused changes in the angles of the lower limb joints, some of which increase the risk of injury to the anterior cruciate ligament.
● Changes in the angles of the lower limb joints increase the risk of knee injuries, especially in healthy footballers.
Plain Language Summary
Football is a popular sport and has many fans all over the world. Many injuries occur in this sport some of which may cause an athlete to stay away from exercise. One of the most common injuries in football is knee injury, especially anterior cruciate ligament. Factors that can cause damage to this ligament include sudden changes in direction of movement. Excessive force applied to the knee joint and improper biomechanics during landing. Jumping and landing are common activities in most sports, which can increase the risk of knee injuries, however, most injuries have been shown to occur during one-leg landing and reduced knee acceleration. Most athletes decide to have surgery after a ligament rupture, but some athletes express dissatisfaction after reconstruction. Previous studies have shown that there is a possibility of re-injury in these athletes. Well defined that fatigue can increase the risk of injury. Fatigue is also an integral part of football. One of the fatigue protocols that has been used in recent years is the plyometric fatigue protocol, which has been welcomed by trainers due to its ease of implementation and the need for minimal equipment. Since most injuries occur during fatigue, research suggests that comparing them between two groups of healthy athletes and athletes with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction can yield beneficial results.
