9-(5-Bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10-decahydroacridine-1,8-dione dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate

In the title compound, C21H19BrN2O2·C2H6OS, the indole ring system is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.050 (3) Å for the non-bridgehead C atom adjacent to the N atom. The two cyclohex-2-enone rings adopt half-chair conformations. An intramolecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. The solvent molecule exhibits minor disorder of the S atom [site occupancies = 0.8153 (16) and 0.1847 (18)]. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the bc plane

In the title mol­ecule, C24H28N2O3, the cyclo­hexene ring is in a sofa conformation and the 1,4-dihydro­pyridine ring is in a slight boat conformation. In the indole ring system, the pyrrole and benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 2.63 (7)°. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol­ecules into C(6) chains parallel to the b axis and pairs of weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link inversion-related chains into a ladder motif through R 2 2(18) rings. A weak intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond is also observed.PubMedScopu

Validity and reliability of the Modified Four Square Step Test in individuals with ankle sprain

Abstract Background Postural instability and gait abnormalities are frequently observed after an ankle sprain. A modified Four Square Step Test (mFSST) was developed to assess dynamic balance during gait. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the mFSST in individuals with ankle sprains. Methods The study included 39 individuals with grade 1 and 2 ankle sprains with a mean age of 30.36 ± 6.21 years. The dynamic balance of the participants was assessed with the mFSST and Timed Up & Go test (TUG). To determine the test-retest reliability of the mFSST, the test was repeated approximately 1 h apart. Results The test-retest reliability of the mFSST was excellent (ICC = 0.85). Furthermore, when the concurrent validity of the mFSST was examined, a high correlation was found between with the TUG (r = 0.78, p < 0.001). Conclusion The mFSST is a valid and reliable clinical assessment method for evaluating dynamic balance during walking in individuals with ankle sprains. We think that the mFSST is preferable in clinical evaluations because its platform is easy to prepare and requires very little equipment
