Abstract
Aim. Groin pain related to adductor strain in athletes is a common problem in sports medicine as much as groin injuries. The purpose of the present study was to investigate effect of diode laser and Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) on groin adductor strain in handball athletes. Materials and Methods. Forty handball male and female athletes with adductor groin strain were divided randomly into two groups. The experimental group (A) received (Diode laser 905 nm), FDM and medical treatment, while control group (B) received the sham laser, FDM and medical treatment. Outcome measures included the Copenhangen hip and groin outcome score (HAGOS) and pressure algometry. Results. both groups showed significant difference in the post treatment outcome measures, but the experimental group showed a more significant improvement than the control group with p-value > 0.05. Conclusion. the results imply that treatment of adductor groin strain in handball athletes by FDM and diode laser (905 nm) [LLLT] is more effective than FDM alone.

Abstract
Background. A fault posture of head can disturb the body balance. Forward head posture (FHP) is one of common faulty postures seen among university students. Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is a quick method of neuromuscular training used to increase muscle strength, improve dynamic balance control and eventually correct posture.
Purpose. A randomized controlled trial was designed to investigate the effect of WBV training on craniovertebral angle and dynamic balance control in subjects with forward head posture.
Methods. Forty-five participants (11 males and 34 females, 18-23 years old) were randomly allocated into 3 equal groups: group (A) received traditional treatment (stretching and strengthening exercises) + postural advices, group (B) received whole body vibration training + postural advices, group (C) received traditional treatment + whole body vibration training + postural advices, 3 sessions /week for 4 weeks. Outcome measures included craniovertebral angle (CVA), overall stability index (OSI), anteroposterior stability index (APSI) and mediolateral stability index (MLSI) that were assessed at baseline and 4 weeks post-intervention.
Results.  Comparing all groups post training revealed that there were statistically significant increases (p < 0.05) in all measured variables (CVA, OSI, APSI and MLSI) in favour of group (C), while there were statistically non-significant differences between group A & B (p > 0.05).
Conclusion. The conjugation of WBV training with traditional treatment of FHP improved craniovertebral angle and dynamic balance control in subjects with forward head posture.
