Abstract

Shoulder pain is a musculoskeletal disorder that can cause discomfort, limited upper body movement, and a reduced quality of life. Physical activities or sports that involve repetitive use of the upper extremities, such as badminton, volleyball, or weightlifting, often cause spasms or injuries to the shoulder muscles. Infrared (IR) therapy provides superficial heat that can increase vasodilation, improve blood circulation, and reduce muscle spasms, while passive exercises aim to maintain or increase ROM and muscle strength. However, research on the combined effects of IR and passive exercises on shoulder pain is still limited. This study is an experimental study (quasi-experimental) with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 10 respondents with shoulder pain. The intervention was carried out for 16 treatments with a frequency of 3-4 times a week. IR was administered at a distance of ± 30 cm from the skin surface in the shoulder area for 10-20 minutes per session. Pain levels were measured using the VAS before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant decrease in pain levels from 7.60 ± 1.50 to 1.80 ± 1.13 (p=0.000) with an average decrease of 5.80 and a very large effect size (Cohen's d = 4.4). The combination of IR and passive exercises was proven to be effective in reducing shoulder pain through improved blood circulation, muscle relaxation, and increased ROM. This combination therapy can be recommended as a simple, safe, and effective non-pharmacological physiotherapy intervention for patients with shoulder pain

Abstract

21st-century learning requires students to develop critical thinking skills and sustainability awareness to address global challenges. Initial observations indicated that students’ critical thinking skills ranged from less critical to moderately critical, while sustainability awareness was moderate. This study investigated the effect of ESD-based Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on these two outcomes among Grade 10 students at SMA Pertiwi 1 Padang. A quasi-experimental posttest-only control group design was employed, involving an experimental group receiving ESD-based PBL and a control group receiving the regular learning approach. Data were collected using a critical thinking essay test and a sustainability awareness questionnaire and analyzed using MANOVA. The results showed a significant multivariate effect (Wilks’ Λ = 0.285, F(2,62) = 77.707, p < 0.001, η²p = 0.715). Univariate analysis showed significant effects on critical thinking skills (F = 152.873, p < 0.001, η²p = 0.708) and sustainability awareness (F = 10.633, p = 0.002, η²p = 0.144). The experimental group obtained higher mean scores for critical thinking (78 vs. 52) and sustainability awareness (79 vs. 72). These findings indicate that ESD-based PBL was associated with higher critical thinking skills and sustainability awareness, although the findings are limited to immediate post-intervention outcomes.
