Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a common complaint that affects many individuals and can significantly reduce quality of life. Water-based exercise has been proposed as an effective therapeutic method to reduce pain and improve physical function in patients with LBP. Methods: A literature review was conducted by searching for relevant studies in reputable medical databases. Inclusion criteria included studies that compared water-based exercise with land exercise in individuals with LBP. Results: Studies show that both water-based exercise and land exercise are effective in reducing low back pain. However, water-based exercise tends to overestimate its effect due to publication bias. Nonetheless, water-based exercise provided a significant reduction in VAS scores. Land exercise showed additional benefits with significant improvements in emotional role and physical function on the SF-36, as well as a decrease in the ODI. Conclusion: Based on a literature review of seven selected articles, waterbased exercises have been shown to be effective in reducing pain in cases of low back pain (LBP). However, its application must consider the technical conditions and medical history of the patient.

Abstract

Bell's Palsy is a sudden onset of peripheral facial nerve paralysis that is generally unilateral. This condition is characterized by facial muscle weakness, asymmetry, difficulty closing the eyes, and facial expression disorders. Associated risk factors include exposure to cold temperatures and the habit of chewing ice cubes, which can trigger vasospasm of the blood vessels and inflammation of the facial nerve. Physiotherapy management is important to accelerate recovery, prevent complications such as synkinesis and contractures, and improve the patient's quality of life. This study aims to describe the implementation of physiotherapy in cases of Bell's Palsy at PKU Muhammadiyah Selogiri Hospital and evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy intervention on the recovery of facial function in patients. A case report was conducted on a 41-year-old female patient diagnosed with right-sided Bell's Palsy. The examination included anamnesis, static and dynamic inspection, palpation, basic movement examination, sensory examination, and assessment using the House-Brackmann Facial Grading System (HBGS). Physiotherapy interventions were given three times a week, including Infra Red (IR), Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), light massage, facial exercises (raising eyebrows, closing eyes, blowing, smiling), and education on preventing exposure to cold. Evaluation was performed using Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) and Ugo Fisch. The implementation of physiotherapy with a combination of IR, TENS, massage, and facial exercises is effective in gradually improving the facial function of patients with Bell's Palsy. Physiotherapy also plays a role in educating patients about the prevention of recurrence related to environmental risk factors and lifestyle.
