Abstract

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide, significantly affecting motor function, mobility, and patients’ quality of life. Physical exercise is often recommended as part of rehabilitation programs to enhance recovery after a stroke.  Objective: This study aims to systematically review the literature on the effectiveness of physical exercise in accelerating post-stroke recovery, particularly in improving motor function, mobility, and independence.  Methods: A systematic search was conducted across electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect using keywords like "stroke rehabilitation," "physical exercise," "motor recovery," and "systematic review." Inclusion criteria covered articles published in the last 10 years, in English or Indonesian, involving post-stroke patients undergoing physical exercise programs. The articles were analyzed to evaluate the type of exercise, frequency, duration, and clinical outcomes.  Results: Fifteen articles met the inclusion criteria. Aerobic exercise, strength training, and task-oriented therapy were found effective in improving motor function and mobility in stroke patients. Exercise programs performed intensively for a minimum of 4 weeks showed significant results compared to conventional therapy. Positive effects were also observed in patients’ quality of life. Conclusion: Physical exercise has been proven effective in facilitating stroke recovery, especially when individually tailored and performed regularly. This study recommends implementing standardized physical exercise-based rehabilitation programs to support post-stroke recovery.

Abstract

Background: According to the 2024 Global TB Report, tuberculosis remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Indonesia ranks second among the countries with the highest TB burden. The TB problem in Bulasat Public Health Center, Mentawai Islands Regency, is partly influenced by community behavioral factors, particularly among populations living in remote and island areas. Methods: This study is a quantitative research using a case-control design involving 60 community samples within the working area of Bulasat Public Health Center. The sampling technique used was non-probability purposive sampling. Results: The findings show a significant association between pulmonary TB occurrence and sex (p-value = 0.039; OR = 3.45), age (p-value = 0.018; OR = 4.3), education (p-value = 0.011; OR = 5.7), accessibility (p-value = 0.036; OR = 3.6), perception (p-value = 0.038; OR = 3.5), attitude (p-value = 0.018; OR = 4.3), and knowledge (p-value = 0.019; OR = 4.1). Knowledge was found to be the most dominant factor influencing TB incidence. Conclusion: This study indicates that TB incidence in the Bulasat Public Health Center working area is associated with sex, age, education, accessibility, perception, attitude, and knowledge. Knowledge is the most dominant associated factor. Strengthening health education, developing information media, and enhancing cross-sector collaboration are needed to improve community knowledge about TB and reduce the incidence rate.
