Abstract

Background: Upper limb weakness is the most disability caused by stroke. The availability of physiotherapists is still limited in Indonesia. The exoskeleton robot is a developing technology that involve in stroke rehabilitation therapy. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of exoskeleton robot-assisted therapy on improving muscle strength of patients after stroke. Methods: An experimental study with two groups pre-test and post-test design carried out using consecutive sampling among outpatient stroke patients in Diponegoro National Hospital (RSND) and William Booth Hospital (RSWB), Semarang. Patients in the robotic group (RG) (n=8) received 16 training sessions. Each session consists of 30 passive and ten active-weighted elbow flexion-extension with the exoskeleton robot. Meanwhile, the control group (CG) (n=8) received equivalent training of conventional therapy. The primary outcome of muscle strength was measured by Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) and handheld dynamometer. Pre and post-test MMT score data in each group were analyzed by Wilcoxon test, while handheld dynamometer score data were analyzed by paired t-test. Data between the two groups were analyzed by Mann-Whitney test and unpaired t-test. Results: Significant improvements were shown for the MMT score (RG: p=0.014, CG: p=0.034). There were significant handheld dynamometer score improvements on muscle strength for elbow flexor and extensor in RG (p = 0.008 and p = 0.005 respectively) and in CG (p=0.036 and p=0.008 respectively). No significant differences for MMT and handheld dynamometer score between the two groups. Conclusion: The exoskeleton robot-assisted therapy was as effective as conventional therapy for improving muscle strength in stroke patients.

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Indonesia masih mengalami masalah gizi yaitu masih terdapatnya status gizi kurang bahkan gizi buruk. Nutrisi yang rendah atau buruk dapat mengurangi massa otot skeletal dan pernapasan, yang menyebabkan penurunan FVC dan FEV. FVC dan FEV merupakan parameter dari fungsi paru. Penelitian terdahulu menyebutkan bahwa olahraga dapat meningkatkan fungsi dari sistim pernapasan. Senam Sehat Anak Indonesia (SSAI) merupakan salah satu pilihan olahraga pada anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh SSAI terhadap FEV1 dan FVC pada anak underweight. Metoda: Penelitian ini menggunakan one group pre and posttest design. Populasi target adalah 24 anak underweight berusia 9-12 tahun di SDN Tembalang. Dilakukan pemeriksaan FEV1 dan FVC sebelum dan setelah pasien melakukan SSAI. Perbedaan sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan menggunakan uji t-berpasangan. Nilai p dianggap bermakna apabila nilai p<0,05. Hasil: Peningkatan FEV1 (0,66±0,25) liter, FVC (0,22±0,28) liter setelah SSAI berturut-turut p=0,23 dan p=0,71. Diskusi: Pada SSAI dilakukan gerakan-gerakan senam yang dapat meningkatkan elastisitas paru serta memperkuat otot-otot pernapasan sehingga meningkatkan volume udara yang dapat diambil saat bernapas. Peningkatan nilai FVC dapat disebabkan oleh peningkatan volume dan elastisitas paru-paru. FEV1, FEV bervariasi dan tergantung dari otot pernapasan. Pada penelitian ini walaupun tidak bermakna secara statistik namun dalam rerata nilai FEV1 dan FVC terdapat peningkatan setelah SSAI. Hal ini mungkin dikarenakan frekuensi senam yang digunakan adalah frekuensi yang paling minimal yaitu 2 kali per minggu. Simpulan: SSAI 2 kali per minggu selama 6 minggu sebagai salah satu pilihan olahraga pada anak underweight usia 9-12 tahun namun dalam penelitian ini tidak didapatkan peningkatan bermakna pada FEV1 dan FVC. Diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut menggunakan frekuensi latihan yang lebih banyak dan durasi yang lebih panjang serta menggunakan kelompok kontrol. Kata kunci: Anak underweight; Forced Expired Volume in one second (FEV1); Forced Vital Capacity (FVC); Senam Sehat Anak Indonesia (SSAI) Introduction: Indonesia is still facing nutritional problems, the presence of low nutritional status and even poor nutrition. Low or poor nutrition can reduce skeletal and respiratory muscle mass, which causes a decrease in FVC and FEV. FVC and FEV are parameters of lung function. Previous research suggests that exercise can improve the function of the respiratory system. Senam Sehat Anak Indonesia (SSAI) is one of the sports for children. This study aims to analyze the effect of SSAI on FEV1 and FVC in underweight children. Method: The design of this study was one group pre and post test design. The target population was underweight children at Tembalang Elementary School. FEV1 and FVC were examined before and after the patient underwent SSAI. Difference before and after treatment using paired t-test. The p value is considered significant if the p value <0.05. Results: There was no significant increase of FEV1 (0.66 ± 0.25) liters, FVC (0.22 ± 0.28) liters after SSAI with p= 0.23 and p = 0.71, respectively. Discussion: At SSAI, gymnastic movements are performed that can increase lung elasticity and strengthen breathing muscles, thereby increasing the volume of air that can be taken while breathing. Increased FVC is caused by an increase in lung volume and elasticity. FEV1, FEV varies and depends on the respiratory muscles. In weak expiratory muscles, a person's ability to expiration rapidly decrease and also the FEV1.FVC index. The mean of FEV1 and FVC values ??after SSAI increased but were not significant. In this study, although not statistically significant, the mean values ??of FEV1 and FVC were increased after SSAI. This may be due to the frequency of gymnastics used is the most minimal frequency of 2 times per week. Conclusion: SSAI twice per week for 6 weeks as one of the exercise choices in underweight children aged 9-12 years but in this study no significant increase in FEV1 and FVC was found. Further research is needed using more exercise frequency and longer duration and using a control group.Keywords: Underweight children; Forced Expired Volume in one second (FEV1); Forced Vital Capacity (FVC); Senam Sehat Anak Indonesia (SSAI)

Abstract

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis were the fourth cause of disability in the world in 2020. Limitation of physical activity that occurred in elderly with osteoarthritis can affect the socio-economic aspects of the elderly, causing a decrease in health-related quality of life (HRQoL). In addition to osteoarthritis, recent studies have shown an association between history of hypertension, diabetes, and family support on quality of life in the elderly. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between physical factors, comorbid diseases, and psychological factors on the quality of life of the elderly with knee osteoarthritis. METHOD: This study was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The samples were patients with knee OA who underwent therapy at the William Booth Hospital Semarang and the Diponegoro National Hospital that met the inclusion criteria. The research subjects were 61 respondents selected through consecutive sampling. The analysis test performed using the Chi-square method and logistic regression with p-value considered significant if p <0.05. The instrument used in this study was a demographic characteristic questionnaire, VAS, family APGAR, and OPQOL-35. RESULTS: There was a significant relationship in the assessment of the level of pain and family function on the quality of life of the elderly with knee OA (p = 0.003 and p = 0.042). Assessment of other physical factors consisting of gender (p = 0.637), duration of illness (p = 0.2), and degree of radiology (p = 0.532), as well as comorbid factors consisting of hypertension (p = 0.37) and diabetes (p = 0.663), showed an insignificant relationship to the quality of life of the elderly with knee OA. The dominant factor that affected the quality of life of the elderly with knee OA is the level of pain (p = 0.022) with OR value 14.1. CONCLUSION: Factors that affected the quality of life of the elderly with knee OA were the level of pain and family function. Key: knee OA, Quality of Life, Elderly

Abstract

ABSTRACT DIFFERENCE OF OSDI SCORE BEFORE AND AFTER ‘SENAM PERMATA-KU’ IN COMPUTER VISION SYNDROME Background: Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) is a group of symptoms that affects the eye and vision due to prolonged use of computer, cellphone, tablet, and e-reader. Dry eye is one of the symptoms that appear in CVS. In this study we did ‘senam PERMATA-KU’ (Pelihara Mata–Kendorkan Bahu) as additional exercise to reduce dry eye in CVS. Aim: Observe there is any improvement of OSDI (Ocular Surface Disease Index) score before and after doing “senam PERMATA-KU” in CVS. Methods: This was a Pre-Post with Control Design quasi experimental study. The subjects were students of Faculty of Medicine of Diponegoro University who had CVS and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria that were divided randomly into control group and experimental group. The experimental group were given an education about using computer ergonomically and ‘senam PERMATA-KU’ for 14 days. The control group were given an education about using computer ergonomically. OSDI score were measured before and after intervention was given using Ocular Surface Disease Index questionnaire. Result: The subjects were 32 students with 16 students in the experimental group and 16 students in the control group. One student in the control group and one student in the experimental group dropped out because they could not complete the procedure so that only 30 subjects were analyzed. OSDI score after intervention in experimental group was decreased significantly (p<0.05). OSDI score after intervention in experimental group was better compared to control group (p<0.05). OSDI score improvement in experimental group was higher compared to control group but statistically is not significant (p=0.595). Conclusion: ‘senam PERMATA-KU’ that was done for 14 days can improve OSDI score in Computer Vision Syndrome. Keywords: Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), dry eye, ‘senam PERMATA-KU’

Abstract

BACKGROUND : Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients have risk to suffer from dry eyes syndrome (DES), caused by peripheral and autonomic neuropathy, oxidative stress, and metabolic dysfunction. DES can reduce the patient’s quality of life then it could induce blindness if the patient didn’t get any therapy for DES. It is important to prevent DES by controlling its risk factors. OBJECTIVE : To investigate risk factors of DES in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHOD : . This study was an analytical observational study with cross-sectional design and purposive sampling. Subjects were examined by using questionnaire and slit lamp, then followed by deep interview in some subjects. This study was also using subject’s medical record to complete the required data. Subjects were diagnosed to suffer DES if OSDI score >12 and schirmer score <10mm. Data was analyzed by using statistic software. RESULT : . From 42 subjects, 19 subjects (45,2%) suffered from DES whereas another 23 subjects (54,8%) didn’t. There was significant relation between diabetic retinopathy (p=0.009) and DES in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus showed by p value under 0,05 (OR 5.700, 95% CI:1.364-23.821). However, age (p=0.516), gender (p=1.000), level of knowledge (p=0.555), accessibility to health provider (p=1.000), occupation (p=0.644), economic level (p=0.105), smoke exposure (p=0.432), duration of diabetic (p=0.707), diabetic controlling (p=0.305), and history of dyslipidemia (p=0.155) had no significant relations with DES in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSION : There is a significant relation between diabetic retinopathy and DES in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetic retinopathy is the most dominant risk factor among the other factors in this study.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: More than 75% of people with type 2 DM will anguish diabetic retinopathy 20 years after being diagnosed. However, the current changing of people’s lifestyle contributes to the tendency in type 2 DM that diagnosed at a younger age. This causes diabetic retinopathy can be occurred earlier and blindness will occur more quickly. It is important to prevent diabetic retinopathy by controlling some associated factors. OBJECTIVE: To investigate associated factors of diabetic retinopathy in people with type 2 DM. METHOD: Analytic observational study with cross-sectional design. Subjects were determined by purposive sampling. The subjects were interviewed using a questionnaire meanwhile, funduscopic examination is aimed to assess diabetic retinopathy and followed by deep interview. This study also used the subject’s medical record to complete the required data. The results were analyzed by using statistic software. RESULT: From 43 subjects, there wes no significant relation among age (p=0.965), gender (p=0.437), level of knowledge (p=0.640), accessibility (p=1.000), economic level (p=0.680), duration of DM (p=0.477), history of hypertension (p=0.708), and history of dyslipidemia (p=0.244) with diabetic retinopathy in people with type 2 DM. However, there was significant relation among controlling blood glucose (p=0.014) with diabetic retinopathy in people with type 2 DM. Uncontrolled blood glucose was 13 times more affected in diabetic retinopathy than controlled blood glucose (OR 13.417, 95% CI:1.474-122.117). CONCLUSION: There was a significant relation between controlling blood glucose and diabetic retinopathy in people with type 2 DM. Controlling blood glucose is the most dominant risk factor among the other factors in this study. Keywords: diabetic retinopathy; risk factor; type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which was resulted from local compression of the median nerve, was a common entrapment neuropathy. Median nerve gliding exercise required a combination of other conservative therapies to provide optimal clinical improvement in CTS. Radial shock wave therapy (RSWT) was a safe, effective, practical, and non-invasive therapeutic method, can be used as a additional therapy for relieving pain and disability in CTS patients. Objective: This study was aimed to examine the effect of RSWT on median nerve gliding exercise on improving the degree of pain and hand functional scores in patients with CTS. Method: This study was a randomized controlled trial. The subjects were 22 patients from the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Polyclinic of RSUD KRMT Wongsonegoro, Semarang. They were divided into 2 groups randomly. The intervention group (n=11) was received RSWT 4 times in median nerve gliding exercise 3 times a day, every day for 4 weeks. The control group (n=11) was received only median nerve gliding exercise. The degrees of pain were measured with a manual algometer and hand functional scores were assessed by BCTQ. Results: The mean of improving pain degree were 2,53 + 0,74 kg/cm2 and 2,38 + 1,25 kg/cm2 in intervention and control group, respectively. An independent t-test showed that there were significant differences in improving pain degree between intervention and control group (p=0,016). The mean of improving BCTQ scores were -11,36 + 4,59 and -6,18 + 3,76 in intervention and control group, respectively. An independent t-test showed that there were significant differences in improving BCTQ scores between intervention and control group (p=0,009). Conclusion: RSWT was improved the degree of pain and increased the hand functional scores of CTS patients who received median nerve gliding exercises.
