Abstract

Introduction : Down syndrome is a genetic condition or disorder caused by a chromosomal abnormality that occurs threefold in total or part of chromosome 21. Decreased muscle strength and balance are one of the consequences that occur in the condition of down syndrome. In this study the aim was to determine the effect of providing physiotherapy management in cases of Down syndrome. The research method used in this study was a case study involving a 4-year-old girl diagnosed with Down syndrome. Subjects were given physiotherapy interventions for 3 weeks with a frequency of 2 meetings a week. The interventions provided were walking on a textured catwalk, walking on an inclined plane, and jumping on a trampoline based on a stretch-shortening exercise. The examination given for this case is checking muscle strength using the manual muscle testing method and checking balance using the balance beam test. In this study, the results showed that there were changes in the subject's muscle strength and dynamic balance ability.

Abstract

Stroke menjadi penyebab utama disabilitas global, terutama akibat hemiparesis dan gangguan keseimbangan yang membatasi aktivitas fungsional, sehingga penting untuk dilakukan pengabdian masyarakat melalui fisioterapi sebagai bagian dari proses rehabilitasi pasien pasca stroke. Pemelitian ini menggunakan metode case report pada pasien laki-laki berusia 73 tahun dengan intervensi berupa TENS, IR, strengthening exercise, balance exercise, serta home program. Evaluasi menggunakan alat MMT, BBS, TUG, dan Barthel Index. Hasil menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kekuatan otot pada beberapa regio, skor BBS dari 31 menjadi 42, TUG dari 40,24 detik menjadi 30,17 detik, serta Barthel Index dari 15 menjadi 18. Kemudian, dengan intervensi fisioterapi terstruktur yang disertai edukasi dan dukungan keluarga terbukti membantu proses pemulihan pasien pasca stroke. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya fisioterapi dan dukungan keluarga dalam proses pemulihan post stroke.
