Background and Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common diseases in the central nervous system, caused by damage to myelin sheath. This study was done to compare the effect of eight weeks of core stabilization, theraband resistance and combined training on functional endurance and postural control in male patients with MS. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 40 male patients with MS were non- randomly divided into three experimental and one control groups (each group, n = 10, age range 25 to 35 years, BMI between 20 and 25, and physical disability scale of 1 to 5.4). Core stabilization, theraband resistance and combined training, balance berg test and 6-minute walk test were performed in order to exercise protocols. Results: Capacity movement and postural control were significantly improved in experimental groups in comparison with control group (P<0.05). The most variability was related to the combination of training program. Conclusion: Eight weeks of core stabilization, theraband resistance and combined training improves functional endurance and postural control in men with MS.

Background and Objective: Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most prevalent complications of diabetic micro-vascular that causing sensory loss of the legs, pain and disorder in proprioception after destroying of the lower limbs nervous system afferents consequently leads in balance disorder. This study was done to determine the effectiveness of reflexology and Yumeiho massages on lower limb pain and keep balance in females with diabetic neuropathy.

Methods: In this semi-experimental study, thirty-four patients with diabetic neuropathyin lower limb non-randomly divided into reflexology, Yumeiho and control groups. Pain and balance were measured using the visual analogue scale, Sharpened Romberg and berg test respectively that were completed at baseline and after 6 weeks. Six weeks of Yumeiho and reflexology massaging were applied over 3 days in week for 30 minutes on the experimental groups.

Results: Pain and balance of patients singnificantly improved in reflexology and Yumeiho groups in compared to controls (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between reflexology and Yumeiho groups.

Conclusion: Reflexology and Yumeiho massages have a same impact on the pain rate and balance of lower limb in women with diabetic neuropathy.
