Abstract
Introduction: One of the common undesirable postural abnormalities that poor mobility has brought to humans due to the significant growth of technology and widespread use of tools and communication devices is the excessive increase of the back arch (hyperkyphosis) and forward head deformity. Therefore, the aim of this research is to review the effects of rehabilitation exercises on people with kyphosis and forward head posture.
Methods: The current study was a systematic review, searching for articles in Persian and Latin from the beginning of December 2005 to the beginning of April 2023, using the Wos, SID, Magiran, Scopus, ISC, PubMed and Google Scholar databases.
Results: A number of seven articles in the field of rehabilitation exercises reported that corrective exercises improve forward head and kyphosis, as well as posture. One article indicated that the use of braces reduced trapezius muscle electrical activity in patients with kyphosis, which may delay fatigue onset.
Conclusions: : The current review study showed that exercise protocols improve kyphosis and forward head complications, as well as improve pain and maintain proper posture in affected individuals.

Abstract
Introduction: Using treatment interventions in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are essential. Also, some studies have reported that medical insoles decrease the rate of incidence of ACL injury. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigated the acute effect of short-term anti-pronation insoles on foot pressure variables in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with pronated feet during running.
Methods: The present study was a semi-experimental type that was done at 2022 in Ardabil city. The sample of this study consisted of 13 individuals with both ACLR and pronated foot aged 23.4±2.5 years and 13 healthy ones aged 22.9±4.1 years that was selected with available sampling method. Plantar pressure values were recorded during running with and without anti pronated foot orthoses by foot scan device (sampling rate: 300 Hz). Two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures was used for statistical analysis.
Results: Results of the present study demonstrated a decreasing of peak plantar pressure variables on first (P=0.044), second (P=0.010), and fifth metatarsal (P=0.027) regions after using anti-pronated insoles during running stance phase.
Conclusions: Overall, it could be stated that foot orthoses possibly reduced plantar pressure and ground reaction force variables after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in individuals with pronated feet during running. However, further study is needed to better establish this issue.

Abstract
Introduction: The difference in altitude due to the foot's arch in individuals with pes cavus affects transitional movement parameters and may increase the risk of injury. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine rehabilitation exercises on the mechanics of transitional movements in individuals with an excessive arch of the foot.
Methods: This study was a narrative review. Articles were searched in both English and Persian languages from April 2015 to September 2024 using databases such as Scopus, PubMed, SID, MDPI, Google Scholar, Web of Science (WOS), and ScienceDirect. Considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 68 articles were selected. After a detailed review, 58 articles that did not meet the selection criteria were excluded, and 10 articles were selected for final analysis.
Results: The findings of 5 studies indicated that corrective exercises and rope skipping exercises lead to improved postural control and balance. The results of 2 other studies showed that therapeutic exercises, walking, and running can prevent the occurrence of lower limb injuries. Another study demonstrated that a combination of static stretching and electrical stimulation can be beneficial in managing pes cavus. Additionally, mobilization of the talonavicular and first metatarsophalangeal joints was found to be effective in reducing pain associated with this condition.
Conclusions: It seems that rehabilitation exercises focused on enhancing balance in individuals with excessive foot arch may improve transitional movements, postural control, and reduce the rate of lower limb injuries.
