Abstract

Background: Myogenic low back pain is a disorder characterized by pain in the lower back. Low back pain can have an impact on impaired functional ability. Some of the factors causing functional disorders are physiological factors, poor body posture, and unergonomic work postures. Adolescents are a group that is vulnerable to experiencing functional decline in the lower back due to pain in the lower back as a result of the demands of activity during the learning process, by spending most time sitting, and having busy learning schedules, which make physical activity tend to be low, which can result in decreased lower back functionality. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of ultrasound and core stability exercise on functional abilities in sufferers of myogenic low back pain in adolescents. Methods: The research design was pre-experimental with a one-group pre-and post-test design. From a total population of around 100, after simple random sampling, 57 subjects were obtained with measurements using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Results: The results of the normality test data analysis using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, ODI pre-test 0.072, and ODI post-test 0.157, and for hypothesis testing using the paired sample t-test P 0.000, so that there is a significant difference. Conclusion: The clinical implications could be the influence of providing ultrasound and core stability exercises on improving lower back function in adolescents. So the hypothesis is accepted.

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

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a common health problem among the elderly, often interfering with daily activities and reducing quality of life. Aging affects the spine’s structure and function, increasing the risk of LBP. Non-pharmacological interventions such as core stability exercises have shown potential in reducing pain and improving function. This training program improved the knowledge and skills of both health cadres and older adults, making it a useful non-pharmacological therapy to enhance quality of life. Methods: This community service program was conducted in Tohudan Village, Karanganyar, Central Java, from February to July 2023, involving elderly individuals experiencing LBP and local health cadres. The intervention included educational sessions, training in core stability exercises, and evaluations of participants’ knowledge and skills. The exercises taught included diaphragmatic breathing, raising limbs, bridging, and quadruped positions. The evaluation was conducted through structured qualitative interviews with participants and cadres. Results: The program showed positive outcomes, with increased understanding and skill among health cadres and elderly participants in performing core stability exercises. Interviews with participants and cadres supported these findings—participants reported reduced pain and improved ability to perform daily activities after regular exercise, while cadres felt more confident in guiding others to perform correctly and maintaining programme continuity. Conclusion: Core stability exercise is an effective non-pharmacological intervention to reduce low back pain and improve the quality of life among the elderly. Training community health cadres ensures sustainable impact, enabling continued support for elderly individuals suffering from LBP. Further referrals to health facilities are recommended if symptoms persist.

Abstract

Background: This study investigated the immediate effects of the Kinesio Taping (KT) mechanical correction technique on balance, joint mobility, and muscle strength in healthy young adults. The findings aim to clarify whether this taping method can contribute to improved postural control and functional performance in individuals without musculoskeletal disorders. The purpose of this study: was to examine the immediate effects of kinesio taping on balance among adolescents. Methods: A pre-experimental, one-group pre- and post-test design was employed. Accidental Sampling technique 106 healthy individuals aged 18-25 years (20 males, 86 females) participated. KT was applied to the gastrocnemius, soleus, and Achilles tendons using specific techniques (10-50% stretch for gastrocnemius, Method I for Achilles, and Y method for gastrocnemius). Balance was evaluated through the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), which measures reach distance in eight specific directions. Range of motion and muscle strength were also examined and differences before and after the KT intervention were analyzed using a paired sample t-test. Results: The participants had an average age of 19.20 years and a mean BMI of 21.63. Pre-intervention SEBT scores ranged from 38 to 84 (mean = 55.48, SD = 8.733), while post-intervention scores ranged from 37 to 79 (mean = 59.06, SD = 10.068). A paired sample t-test demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in SEBT scores following the KT intervention (p < 0.001), indicating enhanced balance performance after taping. Conclusion: This study indicates that applying KT’s “mechanical correction” technique to the ankle joint can immediately enhance dynamic balance in healthy young adults. These results highlight the potential role of KT as a supportive intervention to improve balance and possibly minimize the risk of injury.
