Abstract

Background: Below-knee amputations are the most common amputations in amputation patients. One of the mobility devices that can be used by amputation patients is a prosthesis. The main function of the prosthesis is to help its users be able to walk again and carry out activities normally . The appropriate type of prosthesis is a key factor in rehabilitation. The choice of foot prosthesis type is one of the factors that affect the gait parameter where in the gait parameter there is a walking speed factor. In most cases, the limb wearing the prosthesis does not compensate the amputated limb well, this can affect the speed of walking Method and Subject: This type of research uses analytical observational methods, with a cross-sectional research design. The subjects of this study were users of transtibial prosthesis type SACH foot and single-axis foot. The sample from this study was 16 respondents with purposive sampling techniques. The measuring instruments used in this study were meters and 10 MWT (Meter Walk Test). Results: Based on statistical tests using Mann Whitney, the results were found that there was a difference in walking speed in transtibial prosthesis users of SACH foot and single-axis foot types. Where the p-value (sig) < 0.05 is 0.001 with an effect size (large effect difference) of 0.83 which means it has a high or strong difference effect. Conclusion: there is a difference in walking speed in users of SACH foot and single-axis foot type prosthesis transtibials.

Abstract

Background: People of all ages frequently have knee pain, which frequently strikes unexpectedly after an injury or physical activity. Tennis players may suffer from degenerative illnesses, injuries, or excessive and repeated motions that cause knee pain. Using a knee support with an open patella design is one way to manage pain. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether using knee supports can help tennis players with their knee problems. Methods and Subjects: This study included a one-group pre-test and post-test design, a quantitative research approach, and a quasi-experimental methodology. Purposive sampling was used in the sample process, and 13 respondents satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Before and after utilizing the knee support—which is only worn during play—pain levels were assessed using a Visual Analog Scale. results: The Wilcoxon test got results with a value of 0.001, indicating a significant effect because P <0.05. In conclusion, this study shows how well knee support helps to reduce knee pain in tennis players.
