Abstract

The increasing elderly population presents challenges in healthcare services, particularly related to decreased mobility and independence in daily activities. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in maintaining and improving the mobility function of older adults through appropriate evaluation and intervention approaches. One simple, valid, and reliable measurement tool for assessing functional mobility is the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG). This study aims to examine the role of physiotherapy in increasing independence in older adults through functional mobility assessment using the TUG. The method used was a descriptive-analytical study with a cross-sectional approach in a group of older adults. Measurements were conducted using the TUG to assess mobility, balance, and fall risk. The assessment results were then used as the basis for planning physiotherapy interventions, which included muscle strength training, balance training, and functional exercises. The results showed that older adults with better TUG scores had higher levels of independence in daily activities. Targeted physiotherapy interventions based on TUG results have proven effective in improving mobility and reducing fall risk. Therefore, using the TUG as an initial assessment tool is crucial in determining appropriate rehabilitation strategies. In conclusion, physiotherapy plays a significant role in increasing the independence of older adults through an approach based on functional mobility assessment using the TUG. Routine implementation of this assessment is expected to support optimal quality of life for older adults.

Abstract

Adolescents are a population group vulnerable to various reproductive health issues, making adequate knowledge essential for developing positive health behaviors. However, access to accurate reproductive health information remains limited. This community service program aimed to improve students' knowledge of reproductive health through educational activities. The program was conducted on May 29, 2026, at Senior High School X, involving 100 students through the stages of situation analysis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The intervention was delivered using lectures and interactive discussions, while the evaluation employed a pre-test and post-test design consisting of 10 questions. The results showed that 92% of students had previously received reproductive health information, primarily from the internet. Before the intervention, 42% of students had good knowledge, 54% had moderate knowledge, and 4% had poor knowledge. After the educational intervention, the proportion of students with good knowledge increased to 91%, while the proportions with moderate and poor knowledge decreased to 8% and 1%, respectively. Reproductive health education proved effective in improving students' knowledge and should therefore be implemented continuously by involving schools and healthcare professionals.
