Abstract

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common age-related diseases and is a primary cause of disability and pain. Cases of osteoarthritis cause pain, hamstring tightness, and limited range of motion, which reduce productivity and quality of life. Physiotherapy management for this condition may include Home-Based Exercise (HBE) and the Myofascial Release Technique (MRT).The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of HBE and MRT in reducing hamstring tightness, pain, and disability caused by knee osteoarthritis in the elderly. This study employed an experimental design with a single-blinded randomized pre-test and post-test control group design. A total of 30 participants were recruited using consecutive purposive sampling and randomly divided into two groups. Knee disability was assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), pain was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and hamstring tightness was evaluated using the active knee extension test.The Paired T-Test revealed a significant reduction in knee disability, pain, and hamstring tightness before and after intervention in both the Myofascial Release Technique group (p < 0.001) and the Home-Based Exercise group (p < 0.001). However, Home-Based Exercise demonstrated greater effectiveness compared to the Myofascial Release Technique.

Abstract

Dalam satu dekade terakhir, prevalensi sindrom metabolik (MetS) terus meningkat secara global yang tidak hanya berdampak pada peningkatan morbiditas dan mortalitas, tetapi juga membebani sistem pelayanan kesehatan secara signifikan. Oleh karena itu, intervensi non-farmakologis yang efektif, aman, dan berkelanjutan menjadi prioritas utama dalam pencegahan dan pengelolaan MetS, dengan latihan fisik seperti kombinasi latihan aerobik dan resistensi atau concurrent training (CT), sebagai pilar utama terapi gaya hidup. Literature review ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh CT terhadap individu dengan MetS berdasarkan temuan-temuan penelitian yang relevan.  Metode yang diterapkan adalah kajian pustaka dengan mengeksplorasi sumber-sumber ilmiah dari pangkalan data Google Scholar, PEDro, dan PubMed. Sebanyak lima artikel terkait topik penelitian telah diidentifikasi dan dianalisis dalam kajian ini. Berdasarkan penelitian sebelumnya, concurrent training dapat menjadi pilihan intervensi non-farmakologis karena terbukti memberikan perbaikan bermakna secara klinis pada beberapa komponen utama sindrom metabolik. Concurrent training memberikan manfaat signifikan terhadap komponen utama sindrom metabolik, terutama dalam menurunkan adipositas sentral dan tekanan darah melalui mekanisme adaptasi aerobik dan resistensi yang saling melengkapi.
