Abstract

Indonesia has launched a determined effort to eliminate malaria by 2023, focusing on Java and Bali. Despite these efforts, Pangandaran in Java still faces malaria cases. This study aims to meticulously delve into the intricacies of the malaria elimination program's implementation while conducting a comprehensive evaluation of its effectiveness. Structured interviews were conducted with key stakeholders responsible for the malaria program in Pangandaran to extract invaluable insights. The study, carried out in November 2022, followed qualitative research with narrative analysis to reveal nuanced narratives from the participants. Findings from this rigorous analysis revealed a harmonious alignment between the malaria control program in Pangandaran and the Indonesian Ministry of Health guidelines. The strategy to combat malaria vectors in Pangandaran included mosquito net distribution, strategic larvicide application, and educational campaigns like Malaria Awareness Society (MASAMA). The expectation is that the current effective control program will resonate within the Pangandaran community, ultimately leading to the realization of the 2023 elimination target.

Abstract

Introduction: Stroke is characterized by an obstruction or reduction in blood supply, leading to decreased oxygen supply to the brain. This disease is the second leading cause of death worldwide and a leading cause of disability, including ankle disorders. Robot-Assisted Therapy (RAT) presents as a potentially effective ankle rehabilitation approach to improve walking and balance in stroke survivors. Unlike conventional ankle rehabilitation, RAT provides more repetitive and precise training. To address the gap in stroke rehabilitation, particularly in ankle function, this study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of various RATs in ankle rehabilitation in stroke patients. Methods: We conducted a literature search through PubMed, Scopus, Proquest, Sage, and EBSCOhost to assess RAT until August 12, 2024. The keywords used were (“Stroke” OR “Post-stroke” OR “Stroke rehabilitation”) AND “Robots” AND “Ankle” and their synonyms. Results: Five studies, with a total of 156 samples, were included in the qualitative and quantitative analyses. Meta-analysis showed that RAT ankle significantly improved walking speed with a Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) of 1.13 (95% CI: 0.32, 1.94; P = 0.006) and Active Range of Motion (AROM) with a SMD of 2.08 (95% CI: 1.5, 2.66; P < 0.00001). However, other parameters assessed in this study, namely the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Lower Extremities (FMA-LE), did not show significant effects in the intervention group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Robot-Assisted Therapy (RAT) shows promising potential to improve ankle rehabilitation in stroke patients. In addition, this study proves that RAT significantly improves walking speed and active ankle range of motion.
