Abstract

Introduction: Musculoskeletal pain complaints are complaints in the form of mild to severe pain due to joints, ligaments, tendons, and skeletal muscles disorders. One of the factors causing complaints of musculoskeletal pain is ergonomics or work posture. Jobs that has a high risk of experiencing musculoskeletal pain complaints is the laundry business because the work activities are carried out with poor work postures such as twisting, bending and repeating for a long time. This research aims to understand the correlation between work postures and musculoskeletal pain complaints, especially in laundry workers. Methods: This research applies a cross sectional approach in analytical observational method. Sampling used purposive sampling technique with a sample of 47 people. Work posture was measured using the Ovako Work Posture Analysis System (OWAS), while musculoskeletal pain complaints were measured using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire. Results: Based on the results of the non-parametric spearman rank analysis test, the value obtained was ρ=0.002 (ρ<0.05) and the correlation coefficient r=0.441. Conclusion: Based on the research results, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship, sufficient strength, and the same direction between work postures and musculoskeletal pain complaints among laundry workers in Denpasar, Bali

Abstract

Flat foot atau telapak kaki datar merupakan kelainan muskuloskeletal yang ditandai dengan tidak terbentuknya arcus pedis akibat kelemahan otot intrinsik kaki. Arcus pedis memiliki peran biomekanis penting sebagai penopang berat badan dan sebagai daya ungkit (lever arm) dalam aktivitas lokomotorik. Gangguan fungsi arcus dapat menyebabkan penurunan stabilitas postural dan keseimbangan dinamis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh towel curl exercise dalam meningkatkan keseimbangan dinamis pada anak dengan kondisi flat foot. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pre eksperimental design dengan rancangan penelitian one group pretest-posttest dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 10 anak. Intervensi berupa towel curl exercise. Towel curl exercise diberikan pada anak dengan menginstruksikan anak mencengkram handuk kecil dengan menggunakan jari kaki dalam posisi duduk, kemudian memindahkan handuk ke dalam wadah yang telah disediakan. Latihan diberikan selama 4 minggu, dengan frekuensi 3 kali per minggu dan setiap sesi terdiri atas 10 repetisi per set, diulang sebanyak 2 set . Penilaian keseimbangan dinamis dapat dilakukan dengan diagonal dynamic balance test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rerata nilai pre-test sebesar 44,50 dan post-test sebesar 54,00. Uji hipotesis dengan paired sample t-test menghasilkan nilai signifikansi 0,001 (p<0,05), yang menandakan adanya perbedaan bermakna antara sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Selisih rata-rata peningkatan keseimbangan dinamis tercatat sebesar 21,34%. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah towel curl exercise terbukti efektif meningkatkan keseimbangan dinamis pada anak dengan kondisi flat foot.

Abstract

Background: Down syndrome is a condition of a genetic disorder caused by an abnormality of chromosome 21. Statistical data shows that the average incidence of Down syndrome worldwide is 1 in every 700 births. This incident will increase with the increasing age of pregnant women. This study aims to compare the addition of sensory motor training to shoulder stabilization exercise to further improve upper extremity strength and fine motor coordination in the Down syndrome population.  Methods: This research is an experimental study with blocked randomization. Group 1 (n=15) given the combination of sensorimotor exercises and shoulder stabilization exercise, while the Group 2 (n=15) were given shoulder stabilization exercise. The sampling technique used in this study was purposive sampling. The intervention was given 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Measurements were carried out using the manual muscle test (MMT) and the manual abilities classification system (MACS). Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon Test and the Mann–Whitney U test to compare differences between the two independent groups. Results: The MMT value was p=0.037 (p<0.05) and the MACS value was p=0.041 (p<0.05). These results indicate a significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Adding sensorimotor training in shoulder stabilization exercise intervention can improve upper extremity strength and fine motor coordination in down syndrome population. It is suggested to add sensorimotor training in down syndrome population.
