Abstract

The Foot and Ankle Outcomes Questionnaire (FAOQ) assesses disability in the foot and ankle across five areas: pain, symptoms, daily activities, sports and leisure, and quality of life. This study, conducted in 2020, aimed to validate the FAOQ for measuring flat foot in 12-year-old children. Nineteen children with flat feet from Al Abidin Islamic Middle School in Banyuanyar, Surakarta, participated, selected through purposive sampling and Clark's Angle footprint analysis. Each participant provided written consent. The study utilized the FAOQ and Clark's Angle footprint analysis to test the validity of the Indonesian FAOQ version using the Pearson Product Moment. Out of 25 questions, 16 were found invalid and 9 valid. With a table value of 0.482 and a margin of error of 0.05, the FAOQ is deemed valid if the table value exceeds the calculated value. Thus, the Indonesian FAOQ version is invalid for assessing flat foot in 12-year-old children.

Abstract

Background: The aging process causes a decline in musculoskeletal function, one of which is decreased muscle strength, which impacts balance and independence in older adults. Balance training is one physical intervention that can improve muscle strength in older adults. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of balance exercise on muscle strength in older adults at the UPT Panti Sosial Tresna Werdha Glenmore. Methods: This study used a questionnaire-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The sample consisted of 30 elderly people selected by total sampling. Muscle strength was measured using the Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) instrument before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test.Results: Before the intervention, most elderly people had mild muscle strength (76.7%). After the balance exercise intervention, the majority of elderly people experienced an increase in muscle strength to the normal category (73.3%). The Wilcoxon test results showed a P-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant effect of balance exercise on muscle strength in elderly people.Conclusion: Balance exercise significantly improves muscle strength in older adults. This intervention can be implemented as a routine exercise program to improve physical function and quality of life in older adults.
