Abstract

The community service activity entitled "Building a Smart Society: Reading for the Future" The community service activity entitled "Building a Smart Society: Reading for the Future in Early Childhood" aims to increase children's interest in reading and strengthen the role of parents and teachers in fostering a culture of literacy from an early age. The background of this activity is the low interest in reading among Indonesian children caused by a lack of access to reading materials, minimal guidance from parents, and increasing dependence on gadgets. Through this program, it is hoped that parents and teachers will be able to understand the importance of guiding children in fun, interactive, and continuous reading activities. The implementation method of the activity includes lectures, discussions, questions and answers, and observations, involving teachers and parents of early childhood children in the Mangga Dua Selatan RPTRA environment. Evaluation was carried out using pre-tests and post-tests to measure the increase in participants' knowledge. The results of the activity showed an increase in the average score of participants from 59.5 to 84.5 with an N-Gain Score of 0.6 which is included in the moderate category. This proves that the activity is quite effective in improving parents' ability to guide children in reading. This community service activity contributes positively to building awareness of the importance of family literacy as the main foundation for the formation of the next generation. intelligent and competitive. This program is expected to continue to be implemented sustainably to strengthen the reading culture in the community.

Abstract

Balance disorders are among the most common functional problems experienced by older adults and significantly increase the risk of falls, disability, and reduced quality of life. Early screening and health promotion efforts are essential in preventing these complications. This community service program aimed to introduce and implement the Fukuda Stepping Test as a simple, low-cost, and effective method for promotive and preventive assessment of balance impairment among elderly individuals in the community. The activity involved health education on balance maintenance, demonstration of the test procedure, and direct assessment of participants, followed by individualized feedback and recommendations for balance exercises. The results showed that the Fukuda Stepping Test was well-received, easy to perform, and successfully identified elderly individuals with potential vestibular asymmetry or dynamic balance deficits. Furthermore, the program increased participants’ awareness regarding fall prevention and encouraged adoption of regular balance training. This initiative highlights the importance of accessible physiotherapy-based screening tools in community settings and underscores the role of physiotherapists in promoting healthy aging and reducing fall risk among older adults.

Abstract

Balance is a crucial component in maintaining independence in the elderly and preventing the risk of falls. Decreased balance function with aging can increase the incidence of falls, impacting the elderly's quality of life. This activity aims to screen balance in the elderly using the One Leg Standing Test (OLST) as a simple measurement tool to assess static balance. The activity was conducted in the elderly community in RT 05/RW 08, Karang Anyar Village, Central Jakarta. The test was conducted by asking participants to stand on one leg, and a time was determined until they lost their balance. The screening results showed variations in balance ability, with some elderly still in the good category, while others showed a decline in balance ability and were at risk of falls. These findings demonstrate the importance of balance training programs, muscle strengthening, and fall prevention education for the elderly. This screening activity is expected to form the basis for planning further health interventions to improve the safety and quality of life of the elderly in the community.

Abstract

The increasing elderly population presents challenges in healthcare services, particularly related to decreased mobility and independence in daily activities. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in maintaining and improving the mobility function of older adults through appropriate evaluation and intervention approaches. One simple, valid, and reliable measurement tool for assessing functional mobility is the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG). This study aims to examine the role of physiotherapy in increasing independence in older adults through functional mobility assessment using the TUG. The method used was a descriptive-analytical study with a cross-sectional approach in a group of older adults. Measurements were conducted using the TUG to assess mobility, balance, and fall risk. The assessment results were then used as the basis for planning physiotherapy interventions, which included muscle strength training, balance training, and functional exercises. The results showed that older adults with better TUG scores had higher levels of independence in daily activities. Targeted physiotherapy interventions based on TUG results have proven effective in improving mobility and reducing fall risk. Therefore, using the TUG as an initial assessment tool is crucial in determining appropriate rehabilitation strategies. In conclusion, physiotherapy plays a significant role in increasing the independence of older adults through an approach based on functional mobility assessment using the TUG. Routine implementation of this assessment is expected to support optimal quality of life for older adults.
