Abstract

Introduction: Scoliosis is defined as the lateral curvature of the spine reaching an angle of 10 degrees or more on coronal radiographs when an individual is standing. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), around 3% of the global population is at risk of experiencing scoliosis, while in Indonesia, the prevalence of scoliosis ranges between 3% and 5%. Leg length discrepancy is a situation where the length of both lower extremities is unbalanced. Leg length discrepancy can lead to various issues in body posture, such as scoliosis. This study aims to investigate the relationship between scoliosis and leg length discrepancy in children aged 4-6 years. The degree of scoliosis was measured using a scoliometer, and leg length examination was conducted using a measuring tape. Methods: This study is a quantitative research with a cross-sectional research design. The sample size was 567, selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion, exclusion, and dropout criteria. Results: The results, obtained using the Nonparametric Correlation Test with the Spearman Rank Test, indicate the absence of a relationship between leg length discrepancy and scoliosis, with a p-value of 0.189 (p>0.05) and a correlation strength level of 0.055, meaning the correlation is very weak, and the direction of the relationship is positive or in the same direction. Conclusion: There is no relationship between leg length discrepancy and scoliosis in children aged 4-6 years.

Abstract

Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a chronic neuropathic pain complication following herpes zoster infection. PHN often leads to persistent pain and facial muscle dysfunction, affecting patients' quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the physiotherapy management using electrical stimulation and facial exercises in a case of facial PHN. A case report design was used to observe a 36-year-old male patient presenting with facial pain and muscle weakness after herpes zoster infection. The physiotherapy intervention, consisting of electrical stimulation and facial exercises, was conducted over three sessions within two weeks. Assessment tools included NPRS, MMT, and Ugo Fisch Scale. There was a significant reduction in pain from NPRS 5/10 to 0, and improvement in frontal muscle strength from MMT 0 to 3. The Ugo Fisch score increased from 62 to 66, indicating functional improvement of facial muscles, though not yet optimal. Electrical stimulation and facial exercises were effective in reducing pain and improving facial muscle function in a PHN patient. Further research with larger samples is needed to validate these findings.

Penyebab dari kelainan yang dimiliki ini banyak karena letak kerusakan pada penyandang cerebral palsy ini terdapat pada sistem syaraf pusat pada bagian otak dan sum-sum tulang belakang yang merupakan pusat dari aktivitas hidup manusia (pusat sensoris, pusat motorik, pusat keseimbangan dan lain sebagainya). Hal yang terpenting adalah orang tua harus membantu anak mengembangkan kemampuan pada berbagai aspek kehidupan, seperti kemampuan komunikasi, bina-bantu diri, mobilitas, perkembangan pancaindera, motorik halus dan kasar, kognitif, dan sosial. Di samping itu juga di Indonesia sekarang belum ada buku yang dimana berfungsi sebagai rapot atau perkembangan anak dalam menjalani terapi.
