aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Kegel exercises on pain and quality of life in girls aged 18 to 25 years with primary dysmenorrhea.In the present quasi-experimental study 40 single girls in Bandar Abbas referred to the clinic were selected sampling and availability and divided randomly into two groups; one experimental group and one control group .The experimental group received the treatment (Kegel exercises for 10-15 minutes, three times a week) for 12 weeks, but the control group received no treatment .VAS was measured and rate pain and rate of Quality-of-Life was recorded. All of the above variables were measured both before and after the treatment.The data were analyzed through Analysis of Covariance at the significance level of P≤0.05. The results showed that there was a significant improvement on the scores obtained from the measuring pain scores and pain intensity scores of the experimental group after 12 weeks of receiving therapeutic exercises (P=0.001), whereas no such significant improvement was observed in the control group. The results also suggest a significant difference in the Quality-of-Life scores of the experimental group after receiving the treatment(P=0.001), but there was no such significant difference in the control group. Considering the results of the current study, it seems that the selected Kegel exercises can reduce the severity and duration of primary dysmenorrhea pain, Therefore, Kegel exercise may be effective in treating primary dysmenorrhea and improving the quality of life of these individuals.

The decrease in dynamic balance of children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy is a major contributor to the impairment of these patients. Therefore, this study aims the effect of a period of Aquatic Exercise on shoulder joint range of motion and motor function in children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy. In the present quasi-experimental study 30 children with spastic cerebral palsy were selected from the volunteer children cerebral palsy in Isfahan through target sampling and availability and divided randomly into two groups; one experimental group (15 participants, aged10/5±1/9,weighing 37/4±6/6 kilograms, with the height of 129/1±14/7centimeters) and one control group (15 participants, aged 10/6±2/0, weighing 37/8±6/3, with the height of 129/0±15/6 centimeters). The experimental group received the treatment (Aquatic exercises for 60 minutes, three times a week) for 6 weeks, but the control group received no treatment and was engaged in daily routine activities. shoulder joint range of motion was measured by a goniometer and Step length were measured Caliper test. All of the above variables were measured both before and after the treatment (Aquatic exercises). The data were analyzed through Analysis of T Independent and Dependent at the significance level of P≤0.05.The results showed that there was a significant improvement on the scores obtained from the tests measuring shoulder joint range of motion, and Step length of the experimental group after 6 weeks of receiving exercises (P≤0.05), whereas no such significant improvement was observed in the control group. Considering the results of the current study, it seems that Aquatic exercises are effective on the shoulder joint range of motion and motor function of children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy, which makes it a desirable environment for children with cerebral palsy.
