Abstract

The number of elderly people worldwide is estimated to increase by 56% between 2015 and 2030. In Indonesia, the number of elderly people is estimated to increase by 23.66 million people, and is expected to continue to increase until 2035. Impaired cognitive function is one of the most common symptoms in the elderly. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2017 there were 47 million people worldwide who experienced impaired cognitive function. Therefore, appropriate treatment is needed to improve the cognitive function of the elderly. Due to impaired cognitive function, a person becomes dependent on other people to care for themselves. To overcome this cognitive function disorder, it is necessary to carry out community service activities (PKM) in the form of outreach to the community about the importance of Pilates training for the elderly with the aim of overcoming cognitive function disorders in the elderly. Pilates exercise combines strength, flexibility and balance. Pilates exercise is a sport that focuses on lumbo-pelvic stabilization and activation of other body muscles. The methods applied in this activity are lectures, discussions and demonstrations of Pilates exercises and evaluation. Based on the results of the evaluation carried out, this socialization activity shows positive and satisfying benefits for the elderly where the elderly's understanding of Pilates exercises has improved. Previously they felt the exercises were very heavy and difficult to implement, but after doing them it turned out that these exercises were very interesting and easy to do. In fact, most of the elderly show a very high desire to continue to learn more and practice these exercises. Overall, this socialization activity received a positive response from the elderly, so it is hoped that it can encourage and motivate the elderly to independently carry out this exercise, considering that Pilates training is very useful in improving cognitive function. By increasing the understanding and interest of the elderly in this exercise, the elderly can develop this exercise on an ongoing basis, both individually and in groups, in order to maintain, develop and improve the cognitive function of the elderly so as to achieve the quality of society in general.

Abstract

Background: Falls are a common health challenge experienced by the elderly and can significantly affect their quality of life. The leading causes of falls include decreased trunk muscle strength and disturbances in the vestibular system. Ironically, many older adults are unaware that these risks can be reduced through simple and regular physical activity. Therefore, interventions in the form of education and structured exercise, delivered directly at the community level, are considered a strategic approach to promote preventive behavior. Objective: This Community Partnership Program (PKM) aimed to  improve the knowledge, practical skills, and motivation of elderly individuals in preventing fall risks through trunk muscle exercises and Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises. Method: The activity was conducted at Pagar Jati Public Health Center, Lubuk Pakam, involving 20 elderly participants. It consisted of two main sessions: an educational session covering the causes of falls, the role of trunk muscles, and the body's balance system; and a practical session where participants performed both exercises under the guidance of the implementation team. Evaluation was carried out through initial discussions, observation of participant engagement, and a simple pre-test and post-test. Results: The program showed a significant impact. A total of 85% of participants demonstrated improved understanding of fall risk and its prevention, 78% were able to perform the exercises correctly, and 90% expressed a commitment to continue the exercises independently at home. Participant satisfaction reached 92%. The elderly showed high enthusiasm throughout the activity, with many stating that this was the first time they realized the importance of light exercises in maintaining balance. Conclusion: This activity successfully enhanced the cognitive and motor skills of elderly participants in fall prevention. The combination of trunk muscle exercises and Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises proved effective in improving postural control, vestibular adaptation, and overall body stability. This hands-on approach is highly effective and recommended for sustainable implementation within community-based health promotion and prevention programs for the elderly.

Abstract

Spondyloarthrosis cervical atau kondisi proses degenerasi pada discus intervertebralis dan jaringan pengikat persendian antara ruas-ruas tulang belakang sering dirasakan oleh manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk untuk mengetahui defenisi dari Spondyloarthrosis, anatomi fisiologi Neck and Shoulder, patofisiologi dari Spondyloarthrosis Cervical, dan mengetahui apakah penggunaan TENS, Ultra Sound, dan Terapi latihan dapat mengurangi rasa nyeri dan menjaga aktivitas fungsional pasien. Metode pelaksanaan penelitian melalui pemberian triment fisioterapi yang dilaksanakan pada seorang pasien, Ny. N. Degenerasi menyebabkan diskus mulai menipis karena kemampuannya menyerap air berkurang sehingga terjadi penurunan kandungan air dan matriks dalam diskus menurun. Spondiloartrosis servikalis yang mengenai C4, C5, C6 yang menyebabkan nyeri dan kesemutan yang berlebih sepanjang lengan kanan, sehingga OS membutuhkan penengangan berupa modalitas TENS dengan metode koplanar, 2 channel, arus by-symm dan menggunakan analgesia nyeri dan sensori dan modalitas US serta latihan peregangan pada leher. Dengan harapan nyeri pada bahu dan kesemutan berlebih serta perlengketan jaringan yang di rasakan OS berkurang.
