Abstract

Introduction: The alterations that occur in the vertebrae are Kyphosis, Lordosis, and Scoliosis. Kyphosis affects the majority of the elderly. Kyphosis is a type of deformity wherein the human spine becomes bent. The most frequent alterations in the vertebrae are atilted head forward (cervical kyphosis), an increase in the thoracic kyphosis curve, a flattened lumbar curve (lumbar kyphosis), and a reduction in the width of the intervertebral discus, resulting in a lower height. The focus of this research was to study the effects of TLSO on vertebral alignment postures in older people with kyphosis. Method: This research is a quasi-experimental research with one group pre and posttest design techniques. This research was conducted from March to October 2021 at the PosyanduLansia Sawahan, Ngemplak, Boyolali. Elderly who meet the requirements for this research subject include up to 30 elderly people. Each study subject will receive the TLSO intervention and then assess their spinal alignment before and after treatment.Paired Samples T-test was used to analyze the data in this study. Result: The application of TLSO had a statistically significant effect on alignment before and after the intervention (t = 35.98, mean difference = 8.34, and p value = 0.000). Conclusion: The use of TLSO has an impact on reducing spinal curvature so it is good for maintaining body posture according to normal alignment.

Abstract

Background: Farmers are people who carry out activities in the agricultural sector, both garden farming, fields, rice fields, fisheries, and others on land with the aim of obtaining economic benefits. Farmers have prevalence of knee pain symptoms that lead to reduced mobility and ability to work. Knee pain occurs due to heavy and continuous pressure such as standing, squatting, lifting crops, and hoeing. In this case to treat knee pain using a tool in the form of a knee lifter to determine the ability to reduce knee pain. Objective: To determine the effect of using a knee decker on reducing the degree of knee pain in farmers in Mojopuro Village, Sragen Regency. Methods and Subjects: This research was conducted from March to April in Mojopuro Village, Sragen Regency using a quantitative research method using a quasi-experimental one group pre-test and post-test design. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. The subjects used were all farmers who experienced knee pain. Results: A statistical analysis with a p-value 0.000 less than 0.05 revealed that using a knee decker had a substantial impact on lowering the severity of knee pain in farmers by 43% from a sample of 25 people who had knee pain Conclusion: There is an effect of using a knee decker to reduce the degree of knee pain in farmers, so that increasing mobility and ability to work.

Abstract

Background: Running performance is influenced by environmental and geographical factors, particularly terrain variations like slopes in trail running. Such conditions increase injury risk, especially to the lower extremities, with the knee joint being highly vulnerable. Knee deckers—elastic supports available in multiple sizes—are designed to mitigate injury risks by enhancing joint flexibility, providing stabilization, and reducing pain during daily activities or sports. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of knee deckers in alleviating knee pain among trail runners. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted. From a population of 163 trail runners, 30 participants were selected via purposive sampling based on inclusion/exclusion criteria. Pain levels were assessed before and after knee decker use. Results: Wilcoxon test analysis revealed a statistically significant reduction in knee pain (p = 0.000, p < 0.05), confirming the intervention’s effectiveness. Conclusion: Knee deckers significantly reduce knee pain in trail runners, supporting their utility for injury prevention and pain management.
