Abstract

Cervical Root Syndrome (CRS) is caused by spinal nerve root compression, manifesting as neck pain, sensory disturbances, and functional impairments. This study evaluates the effectiveness of combining Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Neck Calliet Exercise in managing CRS symptoms. A case study was conducted on a 52-year-old woman presenting with pain and functional limitations due to CRS. The interventions were applied in four sessions over two weeks at Ciremai Hospital, Cirebon. TENS was administered at 50-200 Hz frequency and 50-150 µs pulse duration for 15 minutes, targeting the m. splenius capitis and m. upper trapezius muscles bilaterally. The Neck Calliet Exercise included active movements, isometric contractions, and contract-relax stretching. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), while functional disability was evaluated with the Neck Disability Index (NDI). Post-intervention results revealed a significant reduction in pain across all neck movements, with some movements achieving complete pain resolution. Functional disability scores improved from moderate (42%) to mild (28%), demonstrating enhanced cervical mobility and motor control. These findings suggest that combining TENS and Neck callit exercise provides a synergistic approach to alleviating pain and improving functional outcomes in CRS patients.

Abstract

Objective: to determine whether there is a difference in the effect between balance training and strengthening exercises on pain and functional ability in knee osteoarthritis. Design: two group pre-test and post-test. Subjects & Treatments: 16 patients (n=16) with knee osteoarthritis who met the study criteria were divided into 2 groups. Group I was given balance training while group II was given strengthening training. Each was treated 12 times, 2 times a week. Place of Study: Physiotherapy Room, Medical Rehabilitation Installation of RSUD 45 Kuningan. Time: November 7, 2022 to February 15, 2023. Measurement Tools: WOMAC Index. Analysis: Non parametric test, Wilcoxon & Mann Whitney Test. Results: Wilcoxon pre-post pain test of group I showed p = 0.020 (p<0.05) and Wilcoxon pre -post functional ability test showed p = 0.101 (p>0.05) which means there is an effect of providing balance training on pain but no effect on functional ability. The Wilcoxon pre-post pain test for group II showed p = 0.016 (p <0.05) and the Wilcoxon pre -post functional ability test showed p = 0.119 (p>0.05) which means there is an effect of strengthening exercises on pain but no effect on functional ability. Mann Whitney test of pain between the two groups showed p = 0.832 (p>0.05) and functional ability showed p = 0.713 (p>0.05) which means there is no difference in effect between treatment groups I and II. Conclusion There is no difference in the effect between balance training and strengthening exercises on pain and functional ability in knee osteoarthritis.
