Abstract

Various things can affect motor development in early childhood, both internal and external factors. Stimulation in the form of puzzles is one of the factors that increase children's fine motor development. The purpose of this study is to prove the effect of offering jigsaw puzzles to improve fine motor development in preschool children. The research method used was experimental with intervention and control groups and using simple random sampling technique with a total of 25 samples. The intervention group consists of 13 children who are given puzzles and the control group, consisting of 12 children, are given freedom to play other games such as playing in the field. The results showed an increase in fine motor development in preschool children at Tk Santo Yoseph Denpasar after being given a puzzle, as evidenced by the Wilcoxon Test results of 0.005 (p<0.05) in the intervention group during the pre- and post-test and the results of the Mann-Whitney Test posttest data of 0.021 (p<0.05). Based on the research that has been conducted, it can be concluded that there is an effect of offering puzzles on children's fine motor development and changes in the level of children's fine motor development in the intervention group after they have been given puzzles.

Abstract

Older adults experience aging processes that may cause decreased muscle mass and muscle strength, including hand muscle strength. Reduced handgrip strength can affect the ability of older adults to perform daily activities involving the upper extremities, such as gripping, lifting, carrying, and manipulating objects. This study aimed to determine the relationship between handgrip strength and upper extremity function in older adults at nursing homes in Denpasar. This study used an analytical cross-sectional design. A total of 25 older adults were recruited using total sampling. Handgrip strength was measured using a handgrip dynamometer, while upper extremity function was assessed using the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Spearman correlation. The results showed that the mean age was 70.16 +/- 3.934 years, mean handgrip strength was 15.172 +/- 6.438 kg, and mean QuickDASH score was 18.04 +/- 15.307. Spearman correlation analysis showed a significant relationship between handgrip strength and upper extremity function (r = -0.744; p = 0.000). Higher handgrip strength was associated with lower QuickDASH scores, indicating better upper extremity function. In conclusion, handgrip strength is significantly associated with upper extremity function in older adults at nursing homes in Denpasar.
