Abstract

Plantar fasciitis is a musculoskeletal disorder characterized by heel pain and decreased foot function. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multimodal physiotherapy approach combining Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), therapeutic ultrasound, and exercise therapy in patients with plantar fasciitis treated at the Physiotherapy Unit of RS Kramat 128. A descriptive case study design was employed involving three subjects who underwent eight treatment sessions over an eight-week period. Outcome measures included pain intensity assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), ankle range of motion measured with a goniometer, muscle strength evaluated by Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), and functional ability assessed using the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM). The results demonstrated clinical improvements in all subjects, including a mean pain reduction of 3, 6 points, increased ankle range of motion reaching normal reference values (20° dorsiflexion - 0° neutral, 35° plantarflexion), and improvements in muscle strength from grade 4 to grade 5. Variability in treatment response was influenced by adherence to home exercise programs, baseline physical condition, and lifestyle modifications. The findings suggest that a multimodal physiotherapy protocol combined with patient education and regular evaluation is effective in reducing symptoms and facilitating recovery in patients with plantar fasciitis.

Abstract

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition characterized by pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand, particularly in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and part of the ring finger. This condition occurs due to compression of the median nerve passing through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of gliding exercises in improving CTS symptoms and the functional status of patients. The method used is a literature review, with inclusion criteria for research articles from 2013 to 2023. The results from the five selected studies indicate that gliding exercises can significantly reduce pressure on the median nerve, thereby alleviating symptoms and enhancing the functional capacity of the hand in CTS patients. These exercises were performed once a week for 30 minutes over a period of 3 to 8 weeks, depending on the patient's condition. Gliding exercises have been proven effective as a non-medical intervention in the management of CTS, though some controversy regarding the potential risk of shifting the involved anatomical structures should be considered.

Abstract

Hypertension is a condition where systolic blood pressure increases > 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg. Swedish massage therapy is a complementary therapy that is believed to be able to provide a relaxation response. This study aims to determine whether there is an effect of Swedish Massage therapy on the blood pressure of the elderly. Literature review research was carried out using PICO searches in several databases such as Google Scholar, Gaster, Hindawi, Macro, and Pubmed. It was found that 5 journals met the criteria and showed the results that Swedish Massage was carried out 5 times a week for 5 weeks, with a duration of 1 hour and a p-value of P < 0/005 showing a significant effect. The effects of Swedish Massage have an influence on smooth blood circulation, stimulate parasympathetic activity and increase the release of endorphins so that this process is useful in stabilizing blood pressure. Swedish Massage Therapy can be recommended as a treatment for improving blood pressure in people with hypertension.
