“…The planar deviation was defined by (Raymakers et al, 2005) as the square root of the sum of the variances of displacements in ML and AP directions. While it has been argued that this variable may be less discriminant than the range or the mean velocity (Raymakers et al, 2005) and has shown a small relative reliability, with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.5, in eyes-open condition, and a poor absolute reliability (Qiu & Xiong, 2015), the planar deviation has been used in multiple previous works to quantify human stability (Ilett et al, 2016;Xiong & Karim, 2013).…”

“…MS symptoms not only restrict an individual's general health but also affect their ability to perform daily physical activities. Balance plays a vital role in daily activities, and reduced physical control reduces personal stability; thus, it decreases functional independence, exacerbates disability, and increases the risk of falling (Ilett et al 2016, Seyedoshohadaee et al 2016. All these factors substantially influence Psychological Wellbeing (PW) in patients with MS.…”

Background: Psychological disorders often threaten the mental health of individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Higher levels of psychological wellbeing and life satisfaction provide these patients with better social relationships and greater biopsychological health. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological wellbeing, early maladaptive schemas, resilience and perceived social support mediated by self-compassion and hope in women with MS. Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted from August to October 2019. The study population consisted of all female patients with MS who were admitted to Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, Milad Hospital, and Charity Foundation for Special Diseases in Tehran City, Iran. Using the stratification convenience sampling method, 300 patients were recruited as the study sample. The research instruments included the Self-Compassion Scale, Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire-Short Form, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale, Ryff’s Scale of Psychological Wellbeing, and the Adult Hope Scale. The collected data were analyzed by structural equation modeling. SPSS and AMOS were used for analyzing the collected data. Results: There was a positive and significant relationship between self-compassion, hope, resilience, perceived social support, and psychological wellbeing (P<0.01). There was also a negative relationship between early maladaptive schemas and psychological wellbeing in the study participants (P<0.01). The indirect path analysis data indicated that self-compassion and hope played a mediating role in the relationship between perceived social support, resilience, early maladaptive schemas, and psychological wellbeing (P<0.01). Conclusion: The designed model fitted the empirical data very well. Therefore, the research components can help researchers, therapists, and psychiatric nurses to design better procedures to care for patients with MS.

“…Tai Chi differs from other forms of exercise such as running, because the complex series of movements requires the individual to concentrate while performing each movement. Concentration during repetitive tasks aids in the learning process, especially in the damaged nervous system [ 27 ]. In many patients with diabetes, the feet provide false (signal) information to the brain about ground reaction forces due to impaired sensory function [ 28 ].…”

BackgroundOne of the effects of diabetes mellitus (DM), peripheral neuropathy, affects the sensation in the feet and can increase the chance of falling. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of Tai Chi (TC) training combined with mental imagery (MI) on improving balance in people with diabetes and an age matched control group.Material/MethodsSeventeen healthy subjects and 12 diabetic sedentary subjects ranging from 40–80 years of age were recruited. All subjects in both groups attended a Yang style of TC class using MI strategies, 2 sessions a week for 8 weeks. Each session was one hour long. Measures were taken using a balance platform test, an Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale, a one leg standing test (OLS), functional reach test (FRT) and hemoglobin A1C. These measures were taken twice, pre and post-study, for both groups.ResultsBoth groups experienced significant improvements in ABC, OLS, FRT (P<0.01) after completing 8 weeks of TC exercise with no significant improvement between groups. Subjects using the balance platform test demonstrated improvement in balance in all different tasks with no significant change between groups. There was no significant change in HbA1C for the diabetic group.ConclusionsAll results showed an improvement in balance in the diabetic and the control groups; however, no significant difference between the groups was observed. Since the DM group had more problems with balance impairment at baseline than the control, the diabetic group showed the most benefit from the TC exercise.
