The postural control system is a complex motor system which is formed basedon an interaction of different dynamic processes and many laboratory techniquesrecognize performance disorders using a wide range of neurological signs andsymptoms. The present research aimed to assess the reliability of commonly usedclinical measures of balance and to investigate the effect of age, height, weight andBMI on performing clinical balance tests. For this purpose, 133 participants (agerange 18-59 yr) who had at least 3 sessions of sport activity per week, participatedin this research. Clinical balance tests included finger-to-nose (FTN), single legstance (SLS), tandem stance and time-up-and-go (TUG). The results showed thatthe first performance of each three trials was slower. The relationship betweensome factors and these balance tests were examined. The results revealed that FTNand TUG especially TUG test were the most stable measure to assess sportsrelated concussion

The aim of the current research was to compare motor development in 3–6-year-old children from Ahvaz with Denver developmental screening test II. Themethodology of this research was descriptive – survey. The statistical populationconsisted of children from Ahvaz and 1044 children aged between 3 and 6 wereselected from Ahvaz kindergartens by cluster random sampling method. Denverdevelopmental screening test II was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics wereused to compute frequencies and percentile rank to set percentile points. Thefinding showed that children from Ahvaz had a delay in all percentile points (25%,50%, 70% and 90%) in gross movements with regard to Denver test. Also, they hada delay in all percentile points (25%, 50%, 75% and 90%) in fine movements withregard to Denver test.
