Abstract

Background: Taekwondo is an empty hand combat that entails the use of the whole body. Spinning and turning kicks are the proper way of kicking in taekwondo which allow one to maximally perform the hip abductor and adductor muscles simultaneously. To measure the hip abductor and adductor muscles of Taekwondo and Non-taekwondo practitioners, Hand-Held Dynamometer (HHD) is used. This study aimed to compare the hip abductor and adductor muscles strength in Taekwondo and Non-taekwondo practitioners.Methods: This analytical study of paired continuous variable was conducted using cross-sectional method. Thirty-two subjects were examined from September−October 2014 at the skills laboratory of Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran. Sixteen of them were Taekwondo practitioner and the other sixteen of them were Non-Taekwondo practitioner. Gender, weight, height, Body Mass Index (BMI) and maximum strength of hip abductor and adductor muscles were examined by using Hand-Held Dynamometer (HHD).Results: Off all physical characteristics being examined, it showed that the p-values were above 0.5. The independent t-test showed that the average strength of hip abductors and adductors muscle in Taekwondo and Non-taekwondo practitioners were significantly different in which the both p-values were less than 0.05.Conclusions: The maximum strength of hip abductor and adductor muscles of Taekwondo and Non-taekwondo practitioners were significantly different. The strength of hip abductors and adductors muscles is greater in Taekwondo practitioners compared to Non-taekwondo practitioners. [AMJ.2016;3(3):392–5]DOI: 10.15850/amj.v3n3.886

Abstract

Background: Down syndrome occurs due to an extra chromosome 21, known as Trisomy 21. In addition to delayed cognitive and speech development, children with Down syndrome may also experience delayed gross and fine motor development. Virtual Reality Therapy, such as Nintendo Wii is a computer-based technology that allows users to interact with a virtual three-dimensional scenario and the most innovative physical rehabilitation method. High scores indicate that the player has a good motor skill. This study aimed to examine the difference between the score of fine motor skill in children with and without Down syndrome.Methods: An analytic cross-sectional study was conducted from August to November 2015 to 40 children aged between 9–12 years old who came from public primary schools and special needs schools in Bandung, West Java. They were divided into 2 groups using random gender and age pairing; one group was children with Down syndrome and another other group was normal children. The children’ scores of Nintendo Wii game were collected three times. The collected data were statistically analyzed by Chi-Square test.Results: The proportion of children with low-grade fine motor skill in Down syndrome group was larger than those with high-grade fine motor skill. In the other hand, in normal children group, the proportion was reversed compared to Down syndrome group. There was a significant difference in score of fine motor skill between children with Down syndrome and normal children (p=0.000).Conclusions: The fine motor skill of children with Down syndrome is poorer than normal children’s.

Abstract

Background: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of movement and posture disorder commonly accompanied by comorbidities such as sensation, cognition, communication abnormalities and many more. This study aimed to identify the correlation between gross motor function(measured by Gross Motor Function Classification System, GMFCS) and communication function (measured by Communication Function Classification System, CFCS) in children with CP.Methods: Thirty six children with CP aged 0–12 years were examined. Samples were taken from Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung on September to October 2015. Patients’ descriptive data, levels of GMFCS and CFCS were collected by the researcher and residents previously standardized. Kendall’s tau b correlation coefficient was used to analyze the inter-relationship between the GMFCS and CFCS.Results: Levels of GMFCS and CFCS in all samples were moderately correlated (r=0.405; p=0.004). In patients with spastic quadripledic type, correlation were found moderate(r=0.495; p=0.014). No significant correlation was found when CP spastic quadriplegic patients were excluded (r=0.048, p=0.829).Conclusions: Levels of GMFCS and CFCS should be described to provide the complete gross motor and communication picture of CP children.Gross motor function in a child with spastic quadriplegic CP might be correctly predicted from his/ her communication function and vice versa. DOI: 10.15850/amj.v4n2.1092
