Abstract
Objective: Parkinson’s Disease(PD) is the most common movement disorder in the world that causes Hpokinetic dysarthria in patients.80-90% of these patients have speech and language disorders. Diadochokinesis(DDK) test is one of the best and most common tools to evaluate neurological disorder speeches of any type and any severity. The purpose of this research is to configurate relation of oral DDK and disease severity.
Material and Methods: in this cross sectional ,analytical and noninterventional study 27 PD patients were chosen from clients of movement disorder clinic of neurology ward of Rasool Akram educational and treating center using convenience sampling and under inclusion criteria conditions., Mean of monosyllable diado test is evaluated by speech and language pathologist and evaluation of disease severity is done by neurologist using UPDRS-III. Diado of 21 age-sex matched group was assessed. Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficient and independent sample t-test are used to analyz data.
Results: PD patients showed significantly slower diado(P<0.001). no significant relation is found between DDK and disease severity (rs=0.360, P=.0.065) There is positive correlation between toe tapping part of UPDRS and DDK(rs=0.412,P=0.033).Sexuality doesn’t affect the results.
Conclusion: this study shows DDK rate Parkinson patients is lower compare to normal people. There is no correlation between mean monosyllable DDK and disease severity(based on UPDRS-III). Sexuality doesn’t affect the mean DDK of patients.

Abstract
Background: Ankle foot orthoses are effective in controlling wide-range orthopedic deformities. Two difference methods (prefabricated and custom-made) were used for construction of AFOs. However, the high cost of custom devices prevents some patients from purchasing them. Some patients and orthotics prefer to prefabricated devices. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the prefabricated AFOs (PAFO) can provide similar pressure distribution as custom-made AFO (MAFO) in healthy people.
Objective: The purpose of the current study was to the comparison of two different fabrication methods of AFO by plantar pressure in asymptomatic adults. Methods: In this study, peak pressures (PP) were recorded with Pedar-x system while pressure insole was placed between foot and AFO. Twenty-four subjects participated in this study completed a total of three 8-m walking trials in each of two types of AFOs.
Results: The PP was significantly decreased in the heel (P < 0.004), first metatarsal (P < 0.001), and second metatarsal head regions (P < 0.003) in MAFO when compared to PAFO but PP was significantly decreased in second toe (P < 0.027) and toes 3-5( P < 0.003) regions in PAFO in comparison with MAFO. No significant differences were observed at the other regions.
Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated that significant differences were observed in PP at the almost regions when comparing two AFOs. So they should carefully prescribe for using with various disorders.

Abstract
Background & Purpose: Amputation is one of the major causes of durable disability. One of complications of amputation is impairment in balance performances. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of eight weeks aquatic exercise on static balance in veterans with unilateral lower limb amputation.
Materials and methods: Nineteen veterans men with lower limb amputation randomly divided in control (n=10) and experimental (n=9) groups. The static balance between two groups was measuring by the stability platform device. Then experimental group performed eight weeks aquatic exercises in a pool, while the control group was doing only their daily activities. After eight weeks the static balance in both groups was measured again. The data were analyzed statistically using the student’s t-test for comparisons between and within the groups before and after the intervention.
Results: Results showed that difference between pre-test and post-test scores was statistically significant in experimental group, while the difference not observed in the control group. Also, between the post test scores of the experimental and control groups, there are significant differences, but between the pre-test scores, no observed significant difference.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that aquatic exercise can improve the static balance of veterans with unilateral lower limb amputation. Therefore, this type of exercise can be used in the training and rehabilitation of this group of people.

Abstract
Aims: The Iran-Iraq war is a momentous event in Iranian peoples’ life. Various social stratum including veterans have played an effective role to defense Iran Islamic revolution and the country. This study aimed to investigate the role of education and income level on social capital of veterans.
Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 522 veterans with document and exact percent of devotee recorded at Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs of the Amol City in 2011. Subjects were selected by simple random sampling. Data were collected using researcher-made questionnaire containing 24 questions. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16 and One-way ANOVA test.
Findings: The mean number of reliable neighbors of veterans was 4.62±9.17 persons, the mean number of reliable friends was 6.43±1.29 persons and the mean number of reliable relatives was 16.35±3.16 persons. The subjects had less trust to the society overall and they were stated that they were respected less by the society compared to their family and the Martyrs Foundation. Educational level just had significant effect on veterans’ utilization of friends and income level just had significant effect on having reliable neighbors. The effect of educational level solely had significant effect on social capital of respect and trust to the society and income rate on veterans’ utilization of mental social capital was significant in all three areas.
Conclusion: Going from inter-group level (family and relatives) towards extra-group level (the Martyrs and Veterans Foundation and the society), veterans’ utilization of both two social capital types decreases.

Abstract
Aims: The utilization of prosthesis not only changes the gait pattern in the patients with lower-limb amputations, but also applies asymmetrical forces on the limbs leading to disturbances. Therefore, it is very important to identify the application mode of earth’s reaction forces on the lower limbs in walking. The aim of this study was to analyze the components of earth’s reaction forces in healthy leg and prosthetic leg in the patients with unilateral below the knee amputation.
Materials & Methods: In the observatory cross-sectional study, 10 patients with unilateral below the knee amputation of rehabilitation clinics of Isfahan were studied in 2013. The subjects were selected via non-probable available sampling method. Qualisys motion analysis system was used to record different gait phases. Kistler force plate was used to measure the earth’s reaction forces. Data was analyzed by SPSS 22 software using independent T test.
Findings: In the prosthetic leg, the propulsion impulse (p=0.01) and vertical impulse (p=0.05) of the reaction force of the earth and the loading rate (p=0.03) were lower than the healthy leg by 5.82N/s, 63.25N/s, and 12.8N/s, respectively. Time to peak reaction force of the earth on the prosthetic side was more than the healthy side by 4.9s (p=0.05).There was no significant difference between prosthetic and healthy legs in braking impulse, medio-lateral impulse, peak of braking force, peak of propulsion force, and unloading rate (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Greater propulsive impulse, vertical impulse, and loading on the healthy leg than the prosthetic leg in the patients with unilateral below the knee amputation shows that there is a greater loading time interval on the healthy leg.

Abstract
Aims: One of the three main organs undergone the most injuries and side-effects due to the mustard sulfur is the lung. The effects of the breathing exercises on such side-effects have been studied. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of the breathing exercises on the lung volume and the fatigue in the chemically injured veterans.
Materials & Methods: In the semi-experimental study, 23 veterans with pulmonary chemical injuries and a history of exposure to the mustard sulfur were studied in Arak Township in 2015. The subjects, selected via the purposeful available sampling method, were randomly divided into two groups including experimental (n=13) and control (n=10) groups. An 8-week breathing exercise program was conducted in experimental group. The program consisted of three 30- to 45-minute stacked-lip and diaphragmatic breathing sessions per week. The lung function and the fatigue severity were assessed before and after the intervention. Data was analyzed by SPSS 21 software using paired T test and one-way covariance analysis.
Findings: The breathing exercises in experimental group significantly increased the lung indices and significantly reduced the mean fatigue level (p<0.05). Nevertheless, no significant difference was observed between the pretest and posttest results in control group (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The breathing exercises can improve the breathing pattern and reduce the fatigue level in the chemically injured veterans.

Abstract
Aims: Caused by prosthesis, the kinematic and kinetic pattern changes during walking in persons with unilateral lower-limb amputation lead to muscle and joint pains. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of below-knee prosthesis on the muscle force, as well as the knee and hip contact force, in the persons during walking.
Instrument & Methods: In the quasi-experimental study, eight non-veteran male persons with lower-knee amputation referred to Technical Orthopedic Clinic of Rehabilitation Faculty of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences were studied in 2015. The subjects were selected via available sampling method. The Qualysis motion analysis system was used to measure the walking kinematic variables. Kinematic data was recorded by Qualysis Track Manager 2.7 software and was analyzed by OpenSIM 3 software. Data was analyzed by SPSS 22 software using independent T test.
Findings: The healthy stance time percentage and the healthy vibration time percentage were significantly more (p=0.001) and lesser (p=0.04) than the prosthetic side, respectively. The anterior-posterior, vertical, and medial-lateral hip and knee contact forces and the forces of the selected lower limbs, as well as the hip extensor, abductor, and flexor forces and the knee extensor force, at the healthy side were more than the prosthetic side, but insignificantly (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The unilateral lower-knee prosthesis increases the healthy weight-bearing time percentage during walking. In addition, the healthy lower-limb joints are overloaded to some extent, which is due to more activities of the lower-limb muscles.
