Abstract

Background: Non-specific neck pain is defined as pain in the posterior and lateral aspects of the neck between the superior nuchal line and the first thoracic spinous process without any signs or symptoms of structural pathology. Objectives: To determine which intervention is more effective between myofascial release and stretching in reducing pain in non-specific neck pain. Methods: This study employed a two-group pre-test and post-test design involving 30 respondents who were randomly assigned into two groups. Group I received myofascial release intervention, while Group II received stretching. Both interventions were administered three times per week for two weeks. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before and after intervention. Data were analyzed using non-parametric tests: the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test for within-group comparisons and the Mann-Whitney U Test for between-group comparisons. Results: The Wilcoxon test showed significant differences between pre-test and post-test scores in both the myofascial release group (Z = -3.477; p < 0.001) and the stretching group (Z = -3.432; p < 0.001). The Mann-Whitney test indicated no significant difference in pre-test scores between groups (p = 0.839), but a significant difference was found in post-test scores (p = 0.009). Conclusion: Both myofascial release and stretching are effective in reducing pain in non-specific neck pain. However, myofascial release is more effective compared to stretching. Keywords: Pain, Neck Pain, Myofascial Release, Stretching.

Abstract

Background: High blood pressure or commonly known as hypertension is a non-curable disease characterized by systolic pressure ≥140 mmHg and diastolic pressure ≥90 mmHg. Exercise is a non-pharmacological treatment that has a significant effect in lowering blood pressure and exercise can be done by anyone because it is easy. Physiotherapy plays a role in providing elastic band exercise (EBE) which is one of the exercises that can improve muscle strength, body composition, and cardiovascular fitness in the elderly. When someone does exercise, there is a decrease in activity in the sympathetic nerves and the parasympathetic nerves experience an increase in activity, which causes the body to automatically respond to a decrease in blood pressure. Objectives: To determine the effect of elastic band exercise on lowering blood pressure in the elderly. Methods: The subjects in this study were 30 members of the Elderly Posyandu (Poslan) in Tohudan Hamlet, Colomadu Karanganyar. The inclusion criteria in this study are as follows: (1) subjects aged 60-79 years (2) hypertension with systolic pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic pressure ≥90 mmHg, (3) communicate well and are able to follow the instructions given (4) willing to participate in the study by signing an informed consent. This study is a pre-experimental study, the research design uses a one group pre-post test design, namely one group of elderly people who will be given treatment in the form of elastic band exercise. Results: The results of the difference in the effect of pre-test and post-test on research subjects using the Wilcoxon Test obtained results for systole p = 0.00 (p <0.05) and diastole p = 0.00 (p <0.05). This shows the influence of research subjects on reducing blood pressure in the elderly. Conclusion: Providing elastic band exercise has an effect on reducing blood pressure in the elderly.
