Abstract

Background: Neck pain is a major public health problem, especially for the elderly. One cause of neck pain is myofascial pain syndrome. Myofascial pain syndrome is characterized by the presence of trigger points that arise from the junction bands of muscle fibers. Three studies found that the prevalence of neck pain in the elderly was between 8.8% and 11.6%. Chronic neck pain causes increased muscle tone, decreased joint range of motion, functional impairment and activities of daily living, and decreased quality of life in the elderly. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of combining myofascial release technique and ultrasound with self-exercise and ultrasound in reducing pain and neck disability for the elderly. Methods: This experimental study used a randomized pre- and post-test control group design. The variables in this study were pain and neck disability. The participants were 24 people who were divided into Group 1 with myofascial release technique (n = 12) and Group 2 with self-exercise (n = 12). The intervention was given 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Results: The results showed that neck disability significantly decreased before and after the intervention in both groups (p<0.001). There was also a significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Myofascial release technique and self-exercise are effective in reducing neck pain and disability in the elderly with myofascial pain syndrome. However, the combination of ultrasound and myofascial release technique is more effective than ultrasound and self-exercise in reducing neck pain and disability in the elderly with myofascial pain syndrome.

Abstract

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) can cause patients to experience negative symptoms that can significantly affect their ability to use their hands to perform daily activities. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a combination of splinting and exercise therapy with or without ultrasound therapy in improving CTS symptoms and the functional status of patients. Methods: This randomized pre and post-test control group design study was conducted in private physiotherapy practices in the Denpasar area from August to September 2022. Twenty-four subjects with unilateral CTS were randomly divided into an Intervention Group (n=12; splinting, exercise therapy, and ultrasound therapy) and a Control Group (n=12; splinting and exercise therapy only). Splinting was used all day and night for four weeks. Exercise therapy was given three times per week for four weeks. Ultrasound therapy was given once a day, three times per week, for four weeks. The subject's symptoms and functional status before and after treatment were evaluated using the Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTSQ), which consists of the Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) and the Functional Status Scale (FSS). Results: Significant improvements were found in SSS and FSS in Group 1 (SSS: p=0.000; FSS: p=0.000) and Group 2 (SSS: p=0.000; FSS: p=0.000), and a significant between-group difference was found in SSS (p=0.000) and FSS (p=0.001). Conclusion: The addition of ultrasound therapy to splinting and exercise therapy is more effective than that in improving the symptoms and functional status of patients with CTS.

Abstract

Background: Weaving has risk for experiencing nonspecific low back pain (LBP) that caused by bad posture and prolonged sitting duration. Poor sitting position causes musculoskeletal disorders, one of which is pain. Complaints of pain that is felt in the waist, causing functional limitation of movement when moving due to postural errors, are called nonspecific LBP. Weavers with good body positions have a low risk of nonspecific LBP complaints and increased productivity. This study aimed to determine the relationship between sitting position and nonspecific LBP complaints in Buton Sarong weavers in Baubau City. Methods: This study used an analytic observational research design with a cross-sectional approach. The research subjects were taken using probability and purposive sampling techniques. The independent variable measured was the sitting position using the rapid entire body assessment (REBA). The dependent variable measured was nonspecific LBP using a physiotherapy history-taking process. Results: There were 63 weavers in this study, 51 people (81%) had a low sitting position, and 12 (19%) had medium risk. The Spearman's rho non-parametric analysis test showed no relationship between sitting position and nonspecific LBP complaints in this population (p=0.819). Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between sitting position and nonspecific LBP complaints.

Abstract

Background: One of the most affected functional movements in the elderly due to aging is gait. Several parameters must be considered when conducting a gait analysis, including stride speed, length, width, and variability. This study aimed to provide an overview of gait in the elderly group. Methods: The research method used was a literature review in the form of a literature review, compiled based on secondary data from several research journals related to gait in the elderly. This Literature Review contains journals from databases such as Google Scholar and PubMed. Results: Through the elaboration of several studies comparing the elderly group with younger individuals, it could be seen that three aspects influence gait in the elderly, namely sensory, cognitive, and musculoskeletal. Conclusion: The elderly have a loss in sensory, cognitive, and musculoskeletal function as they age, resulting in slower and shorter stride lengths when compared to younger people.

Abstract

Introduction: Cycling is a physical activity that enhances physical fitness and involves moving various body parts, such as muscles and bones. This activity can lead to musculoskeletal complaints, including Non-Specific Low Back Pain (NSLBP), often caused by improper cycling posture. This study investigates whether non-ergonomic cycling positions contribute to the onset of NSLBP in cyclists. Methods: This study utilized a cross-sectional design and purposive sampling technique to select subjects according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The total sample comprised 44 cyclists. Data were collected through interviews to determine the duration, distance, and frequency of cycling, followed by pain examinations, palpation, and neurodynamic tests such as the Slump and Bragard tests. Cycling positions were assessed using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA). Results: Chi-square analysis showed a p-value of 0.001, indicating a significant relationship between cycling position and NSLBP complaints. Conclusion: This study concludes that there is a relationship between cycling position and Non-Specific Low Back Pain. Educating cyclists on ergonomics, as well as incorporating warm-up, cool-down, and stretching during breaks, can be steps to reduce NSLBP complaints. Keywords: non-specific low back pain, cycling position, cyclists, ergonomics, back pain

Abstract

Introduction: Aging brings about notable changes in the musculoskeletal system, affecting muscle flexibility and dynamic balance among the elderly. This study explores the correlation between hamstring muscle flexibility and dynamic balance in elderly residents of Bagendang Hulu Village, Central Kalimantan. Decreasing flexibility with age can lead to stiffness and reduced mobility, impacting daily activities. Hamstring muscles, crucial for tasks like standing and walking, contribute significantly to balance, despite their decreased flexibility in older adults. Dynamic balance, essential for mobility and fall prevention, integrates sensory, motor, and cognitive functions, influenced by muscle strength and joint functionality. Method: This cross-sectional study involved 66 participants aged 60-94 years from Elderly Integrated Health Posts. Hamstring flexibility was assessed using the Chair Sit and Reach Test, and dynamic balance was measured with the Timed Up and Go Test. Results: The study found no significant correlation (p > 0.05) between hamstring muscle flexibility and dynamic balance in this population. Conclusion: Active engagement in senior gymnastics is recommended to enhance physical fitness and overall quality of life, addressing factors such as cardiovascular health, hypertension risk, blood sugar regulation, flexibility, and balance maintenance. Future research should focus on larger sample sizes, controlling for medical histories, and balancing participant demographics to provide deeper insights. Understanding these relationships can inform interventions aimed at enhancing musculoskeletal health and reducing fall risks among elderly populations.

Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) in the knee causes various health problems, including pain and limited movement that reduces productivity and quality of life, causing disability. This study aims to determine the comparative effectiveness between home-based exercise and kinesiotape in lowering pain and disability in the elderly with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: It was an experimental study with a randomized pre-test and post-test control group design. There were 30 participants divided into 2 groups: Group 1 with Kinesiotape and Group 2 with Home-Based Exercise. The intervention was given 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Disability was measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and pain was measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: The p-value for WOMAC and VAS scores before and after intervention is <0.001 in kinesiotape and Home-Based exercise interventions, which states that there is a significant improvement in lowering disability. Comparative analysis between groups also showed p< 0.001. Conclusion: Kinesiotape and home-based exercises are both effective in reducing knee pain and disability in elderly with knee OA. However, home-based exercises have proven to be more effective than kinesiotape. Home-based exercises are recommended as the primary intervention to decrease pain and disability in elderly individuals with genetic knee OA.

Abstract

Elderly individuals undergo various changes in their social, mental, physical, and body functional aspects. Workers in the agricultural sector, especially in areas like Takmung Village, frequently engage in activities that require prolonged use of the knees. This can increase the risk of knee osteoarthritis and injuries, especially during actions such as kneeling, squatting, or standing for extended periods while working. As a result, many farmers in Takmung Village experience discomfort and pain in their knees. Therefore, the community service activity aims to identify the characteristics of the elderly and enhance knowledge and understanding related to the prevention and management of ACL injuries and knee osteoarthritis. The community service activity was conducted from June to August 2023 at the Banjar Lepang Meeting Hall in Takmung Village, Klungkung Regency, and was attended by 54 productive elderly individuals. The activities began with planning, permit management, coordination meetings, training preparation, socialization implementation, health examinations, and pre-test and post-test evaluations. Out of the 54 elderly participants, 53 showed increased knowledge through pre-test and post-test assessments, while only one experienced a decrease. The impact of the socialization activities resulted in improved knowledge among the elderly regarding methods to prevent ACL injuries and knee osteoarthritis. They also gained awareness of suitable physical exercises to prevent and alleviate symptoms associated with ACL injuries and knee osteoarthritis conditions.
