Abstract

Ankle sprains are among the most common sports injuries, often resulting in pain, swelling, and functional limitations that can persist if not treated properly. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping (KT) in reducing pain and improving functional activity in patients with ankle sprains. A literature review method was employed, analyzing five selected studies published between 2013 and 2023, using databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar. The PICO framework guided the research, with inclusion criteria involving patients aged 10 to 30 years and exclusion criteria including systematic reviews and outdated articles. The results indicate that Kinesio Taping, applied at 25%-50% intensity for 20-30 minutes, three times a week over 4 weeks, significantly reduces pain and improves functional balance, as evidenced by tools like the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) and Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT). Compared to control interventions, KT consistently showed significant improvements (p<0.05) in pain reduction and joint stability. The findings confirm that Kinesio Taping is a non-invasive, cost-effective therapy that supports joint stability, improves lymphatic drainage, and accelerates recovery, making it a practical and evidence-based intervention for clinicians and athletes to promote faster recovery and reduce recurrence risk.

Abstract

Constipation is the most common problem in the elderly with a prevalence of 3.8%-6.3% in Indonesia. Abdominal massage or abdominal massage is non-invasive that is easy to apply without causing side effects. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Abdominal Massage (AM) on constipation in the elderly. Literature review research was conducted using PICO searches in several databases such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Pubmed. There were 9 journals that met the criteria and showed the results that Abdominal Massage performed 5 times a week for 4 weeks, with a duration of 15 minutes applied with moderate pressure (2 cm depth) and 2 hours after eating with p- value< 0.05 showed a significant effect on decreased constipation symptoms in the form of abdominal pain,  stool frequency, straining during defecation and prevention of constipation in both the elderly and stroke patients. It can be concluded that abdominal massage is effective in reducing constipation symptoms and also preventing constipation.
