Abstract

Background: Aging is associated with declining physical health and decreased quality of life in the elderly population. In response to the rising challenges faced by the aging demographic, this study aimed to investigate the effects of low-impact aerobic exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness and overall quality of life in the elderly. Methods: A quasi-experimental study design was employed involving 42 elderly participants who underwent a three-month low-impact aerobic exercise intervention. This study was conducted in the work area of the Surakarta City Health Service from June to August 2023. Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured using the Harvard Step Test, and quality of life was assessed through the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire. The effect of low-impact aerobic exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness and quality of life was analyzed using the non-parametric test Wilcoxon Test.Results: Most respondents were aged 60–65 years (66.7%) and female (71.5%). The study revealed a significant improvement in both cardiorespiratory fitness (p=0.025) and quality of life (p<0.000) among the elderly participants after low-impact aerobic exercise intervention.Conclusion: Low-impact aerobic exercise has an effect on increasing cardiorespiratory fitness and  quality of life in the elderly. This finding is expected to be one of the main therapies that can help maintain the health and well-being of the geriatric population.

Abstract

Introduction: Long-term flatfoot deformity will cause foot, ankle and knee pain. In addition, it will cause repeated acute trauma until foot deformity occurs. The constant pressure experienced by the muscles due to prolonged abnormal posture and repetitive movements will provide neurological adaptations and change biomechanics, causing muscle imbalance. One of the interventions that physiotherapy can provide in dealing with flatfoot is strengthening exercise. To determine the effect of strengthening exercise on postural balance and functional ability in flatfoot. Methods: This study used a quantitative method of quasi-experimental type with a group pre-test and post-test design. The sample was 32 respondents with a purposive sampling technique. Measurement of postural balance using the pediatric balance scale and measurement of functional ability using the Oxford ankle and foot questionnaire. Strengthening exercise intervention with a dose of 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Results: Based on the Wilcoxon test, the results were obtained with a significance value on postural balance of 0.004 (p<0.05) and functional ability of 0.008 (p<0.05). Conclusion: There is an effect of strengthening exercise on postural balance and functional ability in flatfoot children.

Abstract

Introduction: Flatfoot is characterized by a decrease or flattening of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot. Flatfoot can also occur physiologically, which is then referred to as flexible flatfoot. Normally the arch of the foot is formed in the first five years of life at an age range of 2-6 years. The arch of the foot plays an important role in absorbing ground reaction forces and supporting the body's weight during activities. Methods: The research design uses a cross-sectional study approach, which aims to find or study the relationship between flatfoot and balance in children aged 7-12 years. A total of 32 respondents aged 7-12 years who met the inclusion criteria were obtained through flatfoot examination using a wet footprint examination and balance examination using the Pediatric Balance Scale. Result: The results of the Pearson Correlation Test show a significance value of 0.031 (p<0.05) between the variables flatfoot and balance, which means there is a relationship between flatfoot and balance in children aged 7-12 years. Conclusion: The correlation coefficient value is 0.383, which means that the strength of the relationship between the two variables is quite strong with the direction of the relationship being positive, which means that the higher the degree of flatfoot in the child, the lower the child's balance.
