Objective: A neuro-developmental illness, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a collection of intricate neurological conditions marked by challenges with social interaction and communication as well as reluctance to change. The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of a particular bundle of physical exercises and remedial games on the motor abilities of kids diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
Materials & Methods: In the Iranian regions of Rasht, N = 36 boys with autism spectrum disorder were included in an experimental investigation using random selection. Three groups of twelve boys each were used in the sample for the intervention, which included a control group, a package of physical exercises, and a selection of corrective games. Oseretsky Bruininks Upper-limb coordination as well as gross and fine motor abilities were assessed using the Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2). Using SPSS version 23 software, the analysis of variance statistical test was used for the statistical analysis.
Results: The findings demonstrated that after a period of specific remedial games and physical exercises, the mean gross motor abilities considerably improved (P=0.01). Additionally, there was a significant difference in upper limb coordination (P=0.03), gross and fine motor skill total (P=0.02), and fine motor skill differences (P=0.03) between the two training groups.
Conclusion: The study's findings indicated that both programs had a positive impact on the motor abilities of youngsters diagnosed with autism spectrum condition. Furthermore, the findings indicated that the physical exercise program used in this study has shown significant impacts on the motor abilities of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, in comparison to the chosen corrective games. According to the findings of this study, the researcher recommends the physical training program introduced in this research as an appropriate regimen for enhancing the motor abilities of individuals with autism spectrum condition.

Objectives: The incidence of the upper cross syndrome is common in people with depressive disorders due to being in constant and repetitive positions. Due to diseases in the upper quadrant of the body in this syndrome, the proper function of sensory receptors in the ligaments is impaired. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a selected corrective exercise program course on the function and proprioception of the cervical area in people with depression and upper crossed syndrome.
Methods: Thirty people with depressive disorder were purposefully selected and divided into two groups: Experimental and control. The Beck depression questionnaire was used to measure depression. The upper extremity functions and joint position error were measured by a Y-balance device and a cervical range of motion device. The experimental group received the selected corrective exercise program.
Results: The selected corrective exercise program had a significant effect on the variables of upper extremity functions and proprioception in the cervical area.
Discussion: The corrective exercises of the present study can be recommended to experts as an effective method or treatment to improve posture, function, and cervical proprioception in people with depression who have the upper crossed syndrome.
