Abstract

Introduction: Fractures occur in individuals of all ages. However, the type and location of the body varies greatly depending on different factors, mainly related to the quality of the individual bone and the nature of the trauma. The population over 50 years of age in Sweden is expected to increase by 18% between 2010 and 2025, and it is estimated that the number of faults will increase by 26% during this time. The highest incidence of fractures recorded in the data are fractures of the clavicle, tibia, and fractures of the humerus. Case presentation: Immobilization after a fracture of the distal humerus will cause limited mobility of the elbow joint due to stiffness. A 10-year-old boy named An.AN was diagnosed with joint stiffness and postoperative pain . Implementation and results: The provision of infrared and muscle energy techniques in the case of joint stiffness of the distal 1/3 of the distal humerus is very necessary to reduce pain both at rest, motion, and pressure as well as to increase the range of motion of the joint and improve the limited functional ability of the elbow. Discussion: This study was conducted for 4 weeks and was carried out 2 times a week to receive infrared intervention and muscle energy technique. Infrared is given for 15 minutes in the elbow area and muscle energy technique with post isometric relaxation to reduce pain and increase the range of motion of the elbow joint. This study is expected to provide many advantages for this case. Conclusion: the provision of infrared and muscle energy techniques that are carried out twice a week for 4 weeks can be given to patients with postoperative joint stiffness to increase joint range of motion and improve function.

Abstract

Background: Squat to stand training is one of the core muscle and lower extremity muscle strengthening exercises that aim to improve lower extremity muscle power to prepare foot muscle in the standing process.Objective: This study aims to find the effectiveness of squat-to-stand training on a down syndrome patient aged 19 months.Method: This study is single-subject research on a Down Syndrome patient aged 19 months old with walking delay, hypotonia on both legs, unable to stand independently, and muscle weakness on both lower extremities. The subject had received squat-to-stand training for four weeks, twice a week, and a follow-up at each end of the session.Result: there is an improvement in XOTR assessment, where the baseline result was T that interpreted as the presence of muscle contraction with minimum movement, and after four weeks of intervention, there is an improvement in the muscle tone and movement compared with the baseline though have not met the X value yet, with normal muscle power interpretation.Conclusion: squat-to-stand training is practical but does not significantly improve lower extremity muscle power in Down Syndrome patients.
