Abstract

Introduction: Dynamic balance is a crucial ability in children's motor development, especially at the elementary school age. Traditional games such as engklek (hopscotch), egrang batok kelapa (coconut shell stilts) are believed to provide effective stimuli for enhancing children's balance function. To determine the difference in effects between the traditional games engklek and egrang batok kelapa on improving dynamic balance in children aged 9–10 years. Methods: This study is a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest two-group design. The population consisted of 70 students, and the sample included 41 students from SDN Kuwonharjo, Magetan, aged 9–10 years, divided into two groups: a control group with standard training dosage and an intervention group with modified training dosage. Measurements were conducted using the Balance Beam Test (BBT) before and after the intervention. Results: There was a significant improvement in dynamic balance in both groups (p < 0.05). However, the difference test showed no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.416), indicating relatively similar effectiveness between engklek and egrang batok kelapa. Conclusion: Both traditional games, engklek and egrang batok kelapa, are equally effective in improving dynamic balance in children aged 9–10 years. These games can serve as enjoyable, practical physiotherapy alternatives in school settings.

Abstract

Anak berkebutuhan khusus (ABK) memiliki hak yang sama untuk berkembang secara fisik, mental, dan sosial melalui aktivitas fisik yang sesuai. Namun, keterlibatan orang tua dalam mendukung aktivitas tersebut di rumah masih terbatas akibat kurangnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman orang tua mengenai pentingnya aktivitas fisik bagi ABK dan memperkuat peran mereka sebagai fasilitator utama. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi pemberian pre-test dan post-test serta ceramah edukatif interaktif kepada 50 peserta yang terdiri dari orang tua. Hasil pre-test menunjukkan rata-rata pemahaman sebesar 86.2%. Setelah edukasi, skor post-test meningkat signifikan menjadi 100% jawaban orang tua benar, menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan dan kesiapan peserta. Kesimpulannya, pendekatan edukatif yang terstruktur dan kontekstual efektif dalam membangun literasi orang tua serta mendorong perubahan sikap positif. Kegiatan ini memiliki potensi untuk dikembangkan melalui pelatihan lanjutan, media edukasi digital, dan kolaborasi lintas sektor guna mendukung keberlanjutan intervensi di tingkat keluarga. Kata Kunci: Stimulasi, Aktivitas, Perkembangan, Motorik, Fisioterapi Children with special needs (CSN) have equal rights to physical, mental, and social development through appropriate physical activities. However, parental involvement at home remains limited due to a lack of knowledge and skills. This community engagement program aimed to enhance parents’ understanding of physical activity for CSN and strengthen their role as primary facilitators. The method involved pre-test and post-test assessments and interactive educational lectures for 50 participants, including parents. Pre-test results showed an average understanding of 86.2%. After the intervention, post-test scores significantly increased to 100%, indicating improved knowledge and readiness. In conclusion, structured and contextual educational approaches are effective in building parental literacy and promoting positive behavioral change. This initiative holds potential for future development through advanced training, digital educational media, and cross-sector collaboration to ensure sustainable family-level interventions.
