Abstract
Background and Aim: Several stretching methods have been shown to increase flexibility of the short muscles. Previous research suggests muscle energy techniques produce increments in range of motion, but there are many variations of muscle energy techniques. The purpose of our study was to determine the efficacy of muscle energy techniques with 50% of maximal voluntary isometric contraction and 10 second hold in compared to control group.
Materials and methods: A sample of 30 female subjects (aged 20 -25 years) participated in this study. All subjects had limited hamstrings flexibility in degrees of passive knee extension. The subjects in experimental group (n=15) received 3 muscle energy techniques (50% MVIC, hold time=10 sec) for 4 weeks, whereas the control group (n=15) remained without treatment. Before and after range of knee extension was measured for all subjects.
Results: The paired t test revealed a significant differences in flexibility for experimental group (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in flexibility gains in control group (P<0.001). Treatment group had significant greater flexibility than the control group (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Muscle energy techniques with above protocol produce an increase of hamstring flexibility.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Hamstring muscles are biarticular muscles, which conducted to pelvic and knee. Shortness of hamstring muscles can influence on the upper and lower joints of its attachment .With respect of the high prevalence of shortness of these muscles, accurate assessment of these muscles is important. There are many tests for assessment of hamstring muscles length During using the straight leg raise (SLR) test, pelvic rotation can contribute to the angle of SLR, while pelvic movement in passive knee extension (PKE) is limited. This study was designed to measure the relationship between two alternative tests in order to use of simple and accurate PKE test for measuring of hamstring length.
Material & Method: 3308 healthy girls (3-17 years) were tested, and hamstring length were determined with using of two tests (SLR and PKE) for both side of lower limbs and measured of active SLR and popliteal angle (PA) with goniometer. Results: Pearson che-squre analysis showed significant relationship(r = 0.529(R), r = -0.435(L), p< 0/05) between PKE and SLR .
Conclusion: Results demonstrated relationship between two tests, in all of ages and both side. SLR and PKE tests can use for assessing of hamstring muscles shortness, but PKE test may be a useful alternative in comparison with activeSLR for providing an indication of hamstring muscle length.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Developmental coordination disorder is characterized by motor in-proficiency, resulting in significant impairments in social and academic functioning. We examine whether life style differences between elementary male students in two socio-economic different areas of Tehran may be reflected in developmental coordination disorder prevalence rates.
Materials and Methods: Two matched groups of 70 children were compared by use of BOTMP short form.
Results: The results show that the standard scores for children in the first area were significantly higher than the sixteenth area (P= 0.026).
Conclusion: Above findings suggest that different life styles may influence the motor skills and developmental coordination disorder prevalence in elementary children.

Abstract
Background and Aim: The goal of this study is to determine the effects of comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program (CCRP) on various domains of health related quality of life (HRQOL) in coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) patients.
Materials & Methods: Forty- four post CABG patients aged 40 - 60 years (mean age = 52.95, SD = 6.02) participated in Phase II CCRP. The SF-36 health survey was used to assess the HRQOL before and after the CCRP and at three-month follow up. The data of patients were compared before and after the intervention and with the normal values of age matched (45-64 Yrs., 882 persons).
Results: The findings showed that there was a significant difference in seven domains of HRQOL between patients prior to CCRP and general population (P ≤ 0.05). There was a significant difference in all HRQOL domains after CCRP (P ≤ 0.005). Five out of 8 domains of HRQOL were unchanged at least 3 months after the CCRP, whereas there was an improvement in 3 domains of HRQOL (P ≤ 0.05).
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the physical and mental health interventions in CCRP are among critical keys to prevent and/or at least decrease the adverse effects of surgery on HRQOL.

Abstract
Background and aim: Ankle plantar flexor is one of the most susceptible muscles to plasticity and contracture after acquired brain injury. The application of thermal agents was introduced before muscle stretch or active exercises in spastic patients for their relaxation effects. The main aim of the present study was to compare the short-term effect of the ultrasound (US) and infrared (IR) on patients with plantar flexor muscle spasticity.
Materials and Methods: 21 patients were randomly allocated placed to either US(n=11)or IR(n=10)groups. The main outcome measures were, H max / M max ratio, Original Ashworth Scale(OAS), active and passive range of motion (ROM).These tests performed before, immediately after and 15 minutes after the intervention.
Results: There were no significant changes in H max / M max ratio and OAS after the intervention in both groups. The significant changes of the H max / M max were observed 15 minutes after intervention in the US group .The change in OAS was also statistical significant in IR group in this period. The changes in active and passive ankle dorsiflexion ROM after the intervention were statistically significant in US group. These changes show the significant changes for ankle passive ROM after15 minutes of the intervention in IR group.
Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that one session application of the ultrasound and infrared are not effective in the treatment of muscle spasticity. The ultrasound improved the ankle active and passive ROM. Further research is needed.

Abstract
Background and aim: With respect to attachment and mechanical relationship of hamstring and calf muscles, interaction between their function is unavoidable. Inspite of prevalence of hamstring and calf muscles shortness, there is not any statistical data about the relationship of shortness of above-mentioned muscles in Iran. The aim of this study was to verify of this prevalence.
Materials and methods: In this study 3308 healthy girls with age 3-17 years old participated. Length of calf muscles with dorsi flexion angle and hamstring with hip flexion angle (SLR) in both side were measured.
Results: The prevalence of hamstring and calf muscles shortness with together was20% in right and 25% in left side .The Prevalence of hamstring and calf muscles shortness with together in 20 district was greater than 3.The greatest amount was seen in secondary school(31.6%).
Conclusion:The results indicated that most of subjects who had hamstring shortness, they had also calf muscles shortness, so if there is any shortness in one of them, we shouhd pay attention to shortness of the another.

Abstract
Background and aim: The communicative functioning of children who stutter can be assessed in a variety of ways. Standardized tests are an important tool to assess communication skills particularly in stuttering children .The purpose of the present study was to translate the Test of childhood Stuttering (TOCS) into persian and investigation of validity and reliability of the test .
Materials and methods: In this research, 40 stutterers and 40 non-stutterer were evaluated. After the translation of the Test according to Protocol IQOLA and its equalization to Persian Language, Content validity and Face validity of it were determined by the opinions of experts. Then, for concurrent validity determination 80 stutterer and non-stutterer children were examined by TOCS and SSI3 .In order to test reliability, test -retest and Cronbach,s alpha were used.
Results: Entirely relevant items had simple translation. The translation items had content and face validity correlation between the marks of TOCS and SSI3 (p=0.000, r= %92). TOCS has high Test-retest ( p=0.000, ICC= %97) and internal reliability (p=0.000,α=%90).
Conclusion: Persian equalized TOCS (Test of childhood stuttering) have high validity and reliability. it might be useful to differentiate stuttering children among normal ones.
