Abstract

Low Back Pain (LBP) is a prevalent health issue caused by improper posture during activities, resulting in pain, stiffness, or muscle tension in the lower back (Minghelli, 2017). It is a major cause of disability, particularly among adults, and a common reason for seeking healthcare (Bento et al., 2019). The Indonesian Ministry of Health (2022) reports that 60-80% of the global population experiences at least one episode of LBP in their lifetime. This study used a pre- and post-test two-group design with random assignment. Group I received Core Stability Exercise therapy, while Group II received Aquatic Exercise Therapy. Both groups underwent treatment twice weekly for eight weeks. The study involved outpatients at KRMT Wongsonegoro Hospital, Semarang. Results: Core Stability Exercise significantly reduced pain in myogenic LBP patients (p=0.00). Aquatic Exercise Therapy also showed significant pain reduction (p=0.00). A significant difference was found between the two therapies (p=0.036), with Aquatic Exercise Therapy having a greater effect (mean=3.942) compared to Core Stability Exercise (mean=3.275). Core Stability Exercise and Aquatic Exercise Therapy both significantly reduce pain in myogenic LBP patients, with Aquatic Exercise Therapy being more effective.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition where a person's blood pressure is at 130/80 mmHg or more. Hypertension can also be called a silent killer disease, meaning that this disease often occurs without any complaints and signs that appear beforehand (WHO 2018). If this hypertension is left untreated, it can cause complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, and stroke. The estimated number of people with hypertension in Indonesia is 63,309,620 people, and the death rate from hypertension is 427,218. In Indonesia, hypertension that occurs in the 31-44 age group is 31.6%, 45-54 years old 45.3%, 55-64 years old 55.2% Therefore, hypertension cannot be underestimated (Riskesdas, 2018). Objectives: (1) to determine the effect of yoga on reducing blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension, (2) to determine the effect of progressive muscular relaxation on reducing blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension, (3) to determine whether there is a difference in the effect between yoga and progressive muscular relaxation on reducing blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension, (4) to determine which has a greater effect between yoga and progressive muscular relaxation on reducing blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension. Methods: This study is an experimental study, using a two group pre-test and post-test design involving 20 subjects who were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group I was given progressive muscular relaxation treatment and group II was given yoga treatment. With a frequency of exercise once a week for 3 weeks. The measuring instrument in this study used a sphygmomanometer. Results: Hypothesis I test using paired sample t-test obtained a p value: 0.000 (p <0.05) while hypothesis II test using paired sample t-test obtained a p value: 0.000 (p <0.005) for hypothesis III test using independent sample t-test obtained a p value: 0.042 (p <0.005). Conclusion: (1) there is an effect of yoga on reducing blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension, (2) there is an effect of progressive muscular relaxation on reducing blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension, (3) to find out whether there is a difference in the effect between yoga and progressive muscular relaxation on reducing blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension, (4) yoga has a greater effect than progressive muscular relaxation on reducing blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a global health problem with increasing prevalence. According to data from the International Diabetes Federation (1), more than 537 million people worldwide suffer from DM. Aerobic exercise has been recommended as a non-pharmacological intervention to control blood glucose levels, but further research is needed to determine its effectiveness in various clinical contexts. Various measures are taken to prevent and control diabetic neuropathy and improve peripheral circulation through the five pillars of DM management, namely education, nutrition, physical activity, pharmacological therapy, and blood glucose monitoring. Physical activity is an important element in preventing and managing type 2 DM. Aerobic exercise is a series of deliberately selected movements that follow the rhythm of music that is also selected so as to create certain rhythmic, continuity, and duration provisions. Subjects and Method: This study used 30 subjects with a quasi-experimental method with one group pretest and posttest design with control. The total sample was 30 patients, namely 15 in the intervention group and 15 in the control group. This study was conducted on subjects aged 40-60 years in Tohudan Village, Colomadu, Karanganyar. The intervention group underwent an aerobic exercise program three times a week for 12 weeks, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Blood sugar levels were measured before and after the intervention. Results: There was a significant effect between random blood glucose levels in patients given the intervention, with a mean difference of -46,000, indicating that after being given an aerobic exercise intervention, random blood glucose could decrease by about 46 mg/dl. Conclusion: There is an effect of aerobic exercise on blood sugar control in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Background: Non-ergonomic work positions and monotonous postures, when maintained for extended periods, can have detrimental effects on workers, leading to muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, which may result in neck pain. Non specific neck pain refers to pain that can be provoked by static neck postures over long durations, neck movements, and tenderness upon palpation of cervical muscles without accompanying pathological conditions. Physiotherapy interventions that can be applied to reduce non-specific neck pain include post-isometric relaxation and stretching exercises. Objectives: To determine which intervention is more effective between post-isometric relaxation and stretching exercises in reducing non-specific neck pain. Methods: An experimental study with a two-group pre-and-post test design was conducted over two weeks in September 2024. Subjects were workers in a garment factory who met the inclusion criteria. A total of 52 subjects were randomly divided into two groups. Group I (n=27) received treatment through post isometric relaxation, while Group II (n=25) received treatment through stretching exercises. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to measure the reduction in neck pain. Results: Based on the results of the pre-post test statistical test of groups I and II, a value of p = 0.000 (p< 0.05) was obtained, which means that there is an effect of the pre-post test statistical test of groups I and II. For the post-test statistics of groups I and II, a value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) This indicates a difference in effect, with a mean difference of 26.51 in the PIR group and 14.2 in the stretching exercise group.Conclusion: Post-isometric relaxation is more effective in reducing pain in non-specific neck pain. Keywords: Non-specific neck pain, Post isometric relaxation, Stretching exercise, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

Abstract

Latar belakang: Kualitas tidur yang buruk berdampak pada sistem kardiovaskuler, neuromuskuler, dan muskuloskeletal. Mahasiswa fisioterapi berisiko mengalami gangguan tidur akibat stres, kurangnya aktivitas fisik, dan paparan layar gadget yang tinggi. Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan antara durasi menatap layar gadget dan tingkat aktivitas fisik terhadap kualitas tidur mahasiswa fisioterapi Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta. Metode: Penelitian observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional pada 87 mahasiswa. Kualitas tidur diukur menggunakan PSQI, aktivitas fisik diestimasi melalui VO₂max, dan durasi screen time dicatat per hari. Analisisstatistik menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman dan regresi logistik biner untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh gabungan variabel. Hasil: Terdapat hubungan signifikan antara aktivitas fisik dan kualitas tidur (r = +0,518; p < 0,01), tetapi tidak terdapat hubungan signifikan antara screen time dan kualitas tidur (r = -0,173; p = 0,132). Analisis regresi logistik menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas fisik secara signifikan memengaruhi kualitas tidur (OR = 8,556; 95% CI: 3,015–24,276; p < 0,001), sedangkan screen time tidak berpengaruh signifikan (OR = 0,584; 95% CI: 0,203–1,684; p = 0,320). Kesimpulan: Aktivitas fisik berhubungan positif terhadap kualitas tidur dan memiliki pengaruhdominan dibandingkan durasi screen time. Saran: Intervensi untuk meningkatkan kualitas tidur pada mahasiswa sebaiknya fokus pada peningkatan aktivitas fisik, sementara manajemen screen time dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai pendukung.
