● Yoga exercise improved the thoracic spine curvature in asthmatic patients.
● Yoga exercise increased the respiratory capacity and volume in asthmatic patients.
Plain Language Summary
Children with asthma often are less physically and mentally active than normal ones. Eventually, they develop abnormal body postures and have difficulty in breathing. In this study, we tried to answer whether Yoga practice can correct chest misalignment and respiratory problems in asthmatic children. For this purpose, 30 children with mild asthma were randomly divided into the control and experimental group. After the intervention, the findings showed that Yoga exercise corrected spinal misalignment and increased lung capacity in children with asthma

● People who are blind had limited mobility in each dominant and non-dominant limb of the ankle and knee joints.
● There is a significant relationship between ankle and knee flexibility with balance, motor function and risk of falling in visually impaired Individuals.
● The use of stretching exercises can be an effective factor in increasing the range of motion of the lower limb joints of visually impaired Individuals.
Plain Language Summary 
Blindness knows no borders and can affect people regardless of age, gender, nationality, religion, race and social and economic class. Visual impairment both psychologically and physically affects a person's daily and natural activities and causes problems in orientation, accurate and correct movement in the direction of joint movement, social dependence and decreased self-confidence. As a result of these people, due to the fear of injury during movement and daily activities, the amount of physical activity decreases and the person may become sedentary. Decreased exercise and inactivity is one of the things that blind people deal with, which can lead to dysfunction of various joints in the body. Decreased range of motion can occur due to lack of proper exercise and low mobility. As a result, joint activity, muscle length, and range of motion of the joints are also affected, and in the end, the entire musculoskeletal, nervous, and joint systems of the body are disrupted, which also causes dislocation and damage in these organs.

● The high rate of upper disabilities in elite women athletes.
● The relationship between characteristics such as BMI, weekly training, and number of training sessions per week with upper limb disability in elite women athletes in various sports.
● The relationship between sports and the degree of inability to perform daily tasks.
● The importance of the shoulder joint in volleyball, handball, softball, and swimming.
Plain Language Summary
The shoulder joint plays an important role in upper limb mobility. Repeated movements from the top of the head stress the shoulder joint and disrupt the stability of the shoulder joint, which causes pain in the shoulder joint. If left untreated, instability and pain over time can lead to upper limb disability. The causes of upper limb disability are related to the sport and are of great importance due to the athlete's disability and high medical costs. This problem may lead to early retirement in athletes. Due to their nature, they are among the sports in which upper limb disability is related to the field has a high prevalence. Due to the importance of upper limb disability, it is necessary to compare the disability in athletes of the desired disciplines. A total of 120 athletes in the fields of volleyball, handball, softball, and swimming active in the Premier League and national teams were examined in this study. The athletes had a high rate of overhead movements, the results showed that the severity of disability in athletes above the head and there was a significant difference between the fields in the study and also the characteristics of BMI, training hours, and the number of training sessions per week. There was a significant difference between athletes of different fields.

● The vGRF in the coper group was greater than the control group.
● The spatiotemporal parameters were not significantly different between groups.
● No differences observed in injured and healthy feet of coper group.
Plain Language Summary 
Lateral Ankle Sprain (LAS) is the most common injury in people with physical activity. Chronic ankle instability is a pervasive term used to classify a person with mechanical and functional ankle instability. Among these, there are also people who do not experience recurrent ankle sprains after the initial injury, and are often referred to the "coper" group in studies. Walking is very important in daily life and its dynamic stability is essential for independence during daily activities. People with a history of LAS experience imbalance, increased lateral ankle pressure during stance phase of walking, and recurrent ankle sprain. Given the importance of ground reaction force and walking variables in the occurrence of injury, the purpose of this study was to compare spatiotemporal parameters of walking and vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) and time to vGRF values in the coper group and healthy control. 28 active female college students as coper ankle sprain(n=14) and healthy control (n=14) groups participated in the present study. The gait-test was performed on a 10-meter path and the information related to the stance phase was recorded by the foot scanning device. The spatiotemporal parameters and the values of the vGRF and time to reach them were obtained from each test. The results showed that the coper group did not differ from the healthy control group in spatiotemporal parameters. Unlike spatiotemporal parameters, the vGRF in the coper group was higher than in the control, which it can be the cause cartilage of the ankle joint damages. Due to the relationship between vGRF value and secondary injury reduction, training of right walking as the main part of rehabilitation programs can be one of the therapeutic goals to prevent the frequency of ankle sprain and re-injury in coper athletes.

● The study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Persian PTPSQ.
● This instrument was valid to measure patient satisfaction with Physical Therapy.
● This instrument can be used in clinical setting and studies.
Plain Language Summary 
A valid and reliable tool that could measure the satisfaction with physical therapy care for Persian-speaking patients will improve communication and enhance the involvement of people in research on health care quality and disparities. We aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Physical Therapy Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PTPSQ). In this methodological study, 297 patients from Physiotherapy Centers in Kerman (Iran) were evaluated by using the PTPSQ questionnaire. The psychometric evaluation included factor analysis, divergent validity, and convergent validity and analysis of floor and ceiling effects. Reproducibility and internal consistency were investigated. The ICC was in the range of 0.80-0.94 with the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.92. Standard Error of Measurement (SEM), Minimal Detectable Change (MDC) and Coefficient of Variation (CV) for the questionnaire were 5.14, 14.39 and 0.21, respectively. Factor analysis revealed the 3-factor model. The relationship between the PTPSQ scores and the patient satisfaction index was relatively good (>0.40). Our results showed strong psychometric properties of the PTPSQ and can be recommended to use in the Persian-speaking population.

• Microscopic index analysis is a realistic and easy way of determining obesity and risk factors for heart diseases.
• Researchers have found that low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of both genders are the strongest determinants.
• Body mass index is a popular and essential approach used in multiple epidemiological studies and is suggested as a method for obesity screening and early clinical assessment.
Plain Language Summary
Evidence indicates the exactness of central obesity indices. For example, Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) and Waist Circumference (WC) are more distinctive predictors of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndromes. Each of these indices has its advantages and disadvantages. Among these, body mass index is regularly used to evaluate overweight and obesity. However, the central obesity is more important than lean body mass as it has demonstrated an intense relationship with cardiovascular diseases, contrary lipid profile, and hyperinsulinemia in men.
