Abstract

Background: Overweight can affect the quadriceps angle (Q-angle), which plays an important role in knee balance and stability, especially in the elderly. Q-angle imbalance has the potential to cause musculoskeletal disorders. This study aims to determine the relationship between overweight and Q-angle in the elderly. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted on December 1 and 5, 2022, at the Dr. Soetomo Surabaya Hospital Retirees Association. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a sample size of 54 elderly people (14 men and 40 women) aged 60–75 years. Data were collected using observation sheets and measurements of height, weight, and Q-angle in the supine position. Data analysis used Spearman's correlation test because the data were not normally distributed. Results: The average age of respondents was 64.41±3.77 years with a body mass index (BMI) of 27.41±1.22 kg/m² and an average Q-angle of 17.78±3.42°. The correlation test results showed a p-value >0.05 (r=0.196), indicating no significant relationship between overweight and Q-angle in the elderly. Conclusion: There is no relationship between overweight and Q-angle in the elderly. These results indicate that the measurement position, activities prior to measurement, and physical characteristics of the elderly can affect Q-angle values. The researchers suggest that Q-angle examinations in the elderly be performed in a functional position (standing) and with relaxed muscles.

Abstract

Background: A common problem among the elderly is a decline in functional capacity, which can affect their balance and lead to a high risk of falling. Balance is the ability to maintain body position while stationary or moving. Maintaining balance in the elderly is important to enable them to remain independent in performing various daily activities. The Step Test is one of the measurement tools that can be used to determine the level of balance in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Step Test in measuring balance in the elderly by comparing it with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Methods: This study used a descriptive research design with an observational method involving 20 elderly subjects.  Results: Based on the validity test, p=0.001 and r=0.689 were obtained, which means that there is a strong relationship between the Step Test and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The interrater reliability test yielded a result of p=0.000 and ICC=0.897, while the intrarater reliability test yielded a result of p=0.000 and ICC=0.881. Conclusion: The Step Test is proven to be valid and reliable for measuring balance in the elderly. The Step Test is recommended for use in detecting the risk of falling more quickly and accurately in the elderly.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a global health problem with increasing prevalence. According to data from the International Diabetes Federation (1), more than 537 million people worldwide suffer from DM. Aerobic exercise has been recommended as a non-pharmacological intervention to control blood glucose levels, but further research is needed to determine its effectiveness in various clinical contexts. Various measures are taken to prevent and control diabetic neuropathy and improve peripheral circulation through the five pillars of DM management, namely education, nutrition, physical activity, pharmacological therapy, and blood glucose monitoring. Physical activity is an important element in preventing and managing type 2 DM. Aerobic exercise is a series of deliberately selected movements that follow the rhythm of music that is also selected so as to create certain rhythmic, continuity, and duration provisions. Subjects and Method: This study used 30 subjects with a quasi-experimental method with one group pretest and posttest design with control. The total sample was 30 patients, namely 15 in the intervention group and 15 in the control group. This study was conducted on subjects aged 40-60 years in Tohudan Village, Colomadu, Karanganyar. The intervention group underwent an aerobic exercise program three times a week for 12 weeks, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Blood sugar levels were measured before and after the intervention. Results: There was a significant effect between random blood glucose levels in patients given the intervention, with a mean difference of -46,000, indicating that after being given an aerobic exercise intervention, random blood glucose could decrease by about 46 mg/dl. Conclusion: There is an effect of aerobic exercise on blood sugar control in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the local wisdom education of the 13th-century Javanese society visualized in the images and texts of the webcomic “Dedes” by Esti Siwi in the Webtoon digital comic publication. This research is a qualitative type with content analysis through documentation of works and literature studies. The research method applies Peirce's semiotics. Data are analyzed based on Miles & Huberman's interactive data analysis through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This study produces a representation of the local wisdom education of the 13th-century Javanese society conveyed through artifacts, sociofacts, and mentifaks in the webcomic “Dedes”, namely (1) local visual skills of Candi Kidal which influence indigenous elements, (2) local knowledge about the virtue of living a life of devotion to parents, (3) local values ??in the form of attitudes towards the requirements of caste rules, and (4) local decision mechanisms of king figures who hold community life. This study produces recommendations for Webtoon comic artists to present the local wisdom of each region as an effort to inherit local wisdom education through the utilization of digital technology developments.
