Abstract

Leg cramps are a common side effect of intradialysis CKD patients. Preventing intradialysis cramping pain can improve quality of life. Breathing and stretching exercises are non-pharmacological treatments for cramping pain. The purpose of this study was to prove the effect of breathing and stretching exercises on changes in the intensity of leg cramps in hemodialysis patients at the Haji Jakarta Hospital in 2018. This study was a quasi-experimental study with a two-group pre-post test research design. The sample was selected by purposive sampling, a sample of 34 patients. The intensity of muscle cramps was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale. The results of the analysis using the paired sample T-test. The results showed that the intervention group had a P-value = 0.01 and the control group had a P-value = 0.055, meaning that there was a difference in mean the intensity of cramping pain before and after breathing and stretching exercises was compared, so it was concluded that there was an effect of breathing and stretching exercises on the intensity of intradialysis leg cramps. Patients are advised to breathing and stretching exercises regularly, light exercise, eat and drink diet.

Abstract

Stroke is a common health issue among the elderly, primarily due to the aging process. Post-stroke changes in the elderly often include muscle weakness, decreased tissue flexibility, and sensorimotor control problems, which can lead to balance disorders. Ankle strategy exercise is a form of training that stimulates the musculoskeletal system, particularly in the lower extremities. This study aims to determine the effect of ankle strategy exercise intervention on static balance in elderly people after stroke. This research employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. A total of 17 elderly participants were selected from PSTW Budi Mulia 4, East Jakarta, using purposive sampling based on predetermined criteria. The intervention was conducted three times per week over a period of four weeks. Static balance was measured using the Functional Reach Test. Result : The average static balance score before the intervention was 15.75 cm, which increased to 23.88 cm after the intervention. Bivariate analysis using the paired sample t-test revealed a significant difference with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Conclusion : Ankle strategy exercise has a significant positive effect on improving static balance in elderly individuals after stroke.
