● Digital technologies are one of the newest approaches used in the field of prevention, care, and treatment.
● Digital technologies provide opportunities for home rehabilitation by empowering the patients that can help with reducing costs.
● The use of digital technologies provides significant improvement in motor parameters and reduces pain in patients with knee OA and TKA.
Plain Language Summary 
OA is the most common progressive articular injury. Knee osteoarthritis causes pain and decreased physical activity. Up to now, no definitive cure has been identified for OA and only the required measures have been taken to manage it. Exercise at home can improve the pain, mobility, and quality of life of people with OA. Patient self-care is an important factor for managing OA and post-TKA care, for which the use of digital technologies are helpful in this regard. Exercise therapy through DVDs, websites, or video software on mobiles allows patients to exercise comfortably in their homes while watching a sports show. In addition, remote sensing technologies enable monitoring of patients adherence leading to individual and timely interventions during treatment, a major barrier that limits the effectiveness of long-term treatment programs.

● Modified pilates exercises are suitable for all ages, all ypes of physical impairment and of any region. 
● In our study, the modified pilates exercises demonstrated a significant improvement in the level of lumbar muscle endurance. 
● The modified pilates exercises effectively increased lumbo-pelvic motor control and reduced pain and disability. 
Plain Language Summary 
The study investigated the effect of modified pilates exercise on the lumbar and pelvic function in individuals with chronic low back pain. In general the experimental group demonstrated a significant improvement in their variable. Based on our study results, the modified pilates exercises increased muscle endurance, strength, ect which significantly affect on the control of lumbo-pelvic motion and reduced pain and disability. 

● During forefoot running, the research subjects attained 10% higher GRF values in the vertical direction, compared to rearfoot running.
● Forefoot running decreased the peak vertical GRF, compared to rearfoot running.
● Barefoot running decreased the peak vertical GRF, compared to shod running.
● Pair-wise comparisons revealed a significantly lower FyMed, Fy99.5%, and greater FyNe, Fz99.5%, and FzNe when running with the rearfoot strike, compared with forefoot strike methods.
Plain Language Summary 
The study subjects with pronated feet experienced greater loads values during forefoot running than rearfoot, which may imply an increased risk of running injuries. Therefore, forefoot running is not recommended for runners with pronated feet.

● Neuromuscular exercises improve balance among rock climbing girls.
● Improving balance among rock climbing girls after performing neuromuscular and functional exercises improved motor function. 
● Both exercises improved lower limb function compared to the control group.
Plain Language Summary 
Rock climbing is a sport that is full of excitement and the girls' interest in this field is increasing. Balancing is very important in this field, which needs to be strengthened among girl's athletes and those interested in this field. But ways to improve this factor will be very important because the choice of type of training based on criteria such as lower cost, ease of execution and its effectiveness is approved. Therefore, it is necessary to study this group of athletes. Neuromuscular training can be a good choice due to its physiological nature and effectiveness through receptors in the ankle and knee joints. Therefore, in this study, the effectiveness of neuromuscular and functional exercises on balance and lower limb function in rock climbing girls was investigated. In this study, two types of exercises were compared: functional exercises and neuromuscular exercises. Finally, both exercises were shown to improve balance and improve performance. The important point in this study was the lack of difference in effectiveness between neuromuscular and functional training; therefore, both exercises are equally effective.

● The study revealed how the related factors in patients with NCLBP are correlated with FMS.
● The results presented a negative correlation between pain and FMS in military personnel with NCLBP.
● The study results indicated a positive correlation between trunk muscle endurance and dynamic balance, and FMS in military personnel with NCLBP.
Plain Language Summary
Low back pain affects core stability and balance and leads to functional disability. Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) can be evaluated by several assessment tools. However, there is no comprehensive functional assessment tool for evaluating the complex and variable elements of functional movement in patients with CLBP. Recently, FMS has been increasingly used to evaluate fundamental movement patterns and practically identify individuals at risk of injury. The FMS challenge factors include coordination, limb mobility, postural control, balance, as well as core and pelvic stability. Therefore, the FMS may be a useful tool for identifying sensorimotor dysfunctions in patients with CLBP who tend to reduce mobility, balance, core stability, and coordination. This study aimed to assess the relationships between functional movement screen and pain, dynamic balance, and trunk muscle endurance in military personnel with non-specific CLBP.

● Trunk defects in adolescents and students can cause back pain in adulthood and lead to great socio-economic damage to society.
● Trunk defect is simply defined as the inability to precisely control the trunk in three dimensions. Deficiency in the neuromuscular control of trunk movements and delayed muscle response predispose to back and lower limb injuries.
● Core stability exercises include a wide range of exercises that aim to improve the control of the lumbopelvic and abdominal muscles. This is achieved by improving the strength and endurance of the core muscles. These exercises also lead to improved static and dynamic balance; all of which reduce the risk of injury.
Plain Language Summary
Core stability exercises improve the stability of the central region of the body and increase the strength and endurance of the core muscles. Besides, they improve static and dynamic balance in students; accordingly, the strategy of calling the muscles of this region is improved. Ultimately, this process reduces the risk of injuries to the trunk and lower limbs. The present study results revealed that core stability exercises lead to significant differences in strength, core muscle endurance, and static and dynamic balance in individuals.

● The performance tests such as Tuck jump, Functional Movement Screening (FMS), and double leg squat tests to predict injuries in wushu male players.
● These performance tests can prevent injuries in players.
Plain Language Summary
Wushu is among the most popular martial arts disciplines, originating in China. Most of the other martial arts are derived from this discipline. Wushu is a martial art that includes a combination of explosive, strength, and speed movements with combat techniques. The prevalence of wushu injuries at the 2009 Asian Championships was higher among women than men. Additionally, the highest prevalence of injury has been recorded in Mutai and Taekwondo. The prevalence of injuries in this discipline, according to studies, is 22807 incidents per 1000 athletes. Wushu competitions are held in the two styles of Sanda and Taolu. The Sanda section is performed as a fighting style, and the Taolu is conducted as a routine practice. Sanda style is more susceptible to injury due to its fighting mode. Performing hard and complicated movements, consistency in performing movements, and stability in performing techniques are the main factors in performing Taolu form in wushu competitions. The instability and vibration of the limbs cause points to be deducted from the athletes. In performing these movements, athletes who lack the necessary skills, strength, and ability present unstable movements. Our results showed that a significant relationship between motion screening tests, two leg squat and tuck jump tests, with athletes injuries. Based on the collected results, trainers and researchers are suggested to employ the Tuck jump, FMS, and double leg squat tests to predict injuries in wushu male players; this test can also be used to prevent injuries in players.
