“…One of these rehabilitation programs is vestibular exercises that can be useful in the treatment of unilateral, bilateral, balance disorders, and control or reduction of symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, etc. (Farzin et al, 2018). In fact, it can be inferred that vestibular rehabilitation provides the necessary stimuli for central sensory reorganization and integration, thereby, improving control of the body’s proper posture through the three mechanisms of substitution, adaptation, and habit.…”

The aim of this study was to compare the effect and durability of perturbation and vestibular exercises on balance and the risk of falling in people with visual impairment (VI). Thirty-six men with VI were divided into three groups, including a control and two experimental (perturbation and vestibular) groups. The experimental groups performed perturbation and vestibular exercises for 4 weeks and three sessions per week. Biodex balance system was used to assess balance and falling risk before and after training interventions. To evaluate the effects within and between groups at three levels of measurement: pre-test, post-test, and durability effect between three groups, repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and one-way ANOVA were used. Repeated measures ANOVA test showed that both experimental groups showed significant improvements in static balance, dynamic balance, and falling risk. In comparison between the groups, the results showed that in the post-test and durability stages, there was a significant difference between the groups and the perturbation exercise group had a greater effect on the dependent variables. Due to the effectiveness of exercises, it is recommended that people with VI pay attention to balance-based perturbation exercises to strengthen the somatosensory system and vestibular exercises to strengthen the vestibular system.

Introduction:Sexual function and quality of life (QOL) are compromised in female with multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent studies emphasize on functional suspension training using body weight resistance against gravity. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of total body resistance exercise (TRX) on sexual function and QOL in patients with MS.Materials and Methods: Among 93 female patients referred to Isfahan Multiple Sclerosis Society (IMSS) 34 females in the age range of 20 to 50 years with expanded disability status scale of 1-4 were selected as a statistical sample. The participants were intentionally selected into two of control (n=15) and experimental (n=19) groups. The experimental group received the TRX program for 8 weeks and the control group received their usual care.Results: The results showed that there was a significant improvement in physical function (P=0.001), role limitations due to physical problems (P=0.001) and emotional (P=0.015), physical health (P=0.018), sexual function (P=0.018) and sexual satisfaction (P=0.040) of the experimental group compared to the control group. However, no significant differences were found n relation to pain (P=0.485), emotional well-being (P=0.468), energy (P=0.459), health perceptions (P=0.600), social function (P=0.116), cognitive function (P=0.896), concern about their health distress (P=0.118) and mental health (P=0.091), between the two groups.Conclusion: TRX has the necessary components to improve the physical dimensions of quality of life and sexual function of patients with MS.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, autoimmune, inflammatory nervous system disease, which is emerged under the influence of the loss of myelin in the white matter of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. The most complications in MS include tiredness, muscle cramp, tremor, unsteady gait, and inability to move. This study aimed to compare the effect of selected exercises with TRX and aerofitness on balance and proprioception in patients with MS. Material & Methods: A total of 30 women with MS referred to the Isfahan MS association in the age range of 20-50 years with an extended disability scale score of 1-4 were purposefully selected and randomly assigned into two selected groups of TRX exercises (n=15) and aerofitness (n=15). The subjects in both groups performed TRX and aerofitness exercises for eight weeks, three sessions per week (60 min per session). Balance and ankle proprioception were measured by the stork balance test and isokinetic device, respectively. Paired and independent t-tests were used to analyze the data (P<0.05). (Ethic code: IR.UI.REC.1398.042) Findings: The results showed that the selected exercises with TRX and aerofitness increased balance and ankle proprioception significantly in the patients with MS (P<0.05). Regarding the comparison between TRX and aerofitness, it was shown that TRX (P<0.01) had a more significant effect, compared to aerofitness exercises (P<0.05). Discussion & Conclusion:The results showed that the selected exercises with TRX and aerofitness improved balance and ankle proprioception in patients with MS. Therefore, it is recommended to perform these exercises as a training intervention to improve the balance and ankle proprioception in people with MS.
