Abstract

Background: Bell’s Palsy is defined as paralysis of one side of the facial nerve, with an unknown cause. Several other conditions can also cause facial paralysis, such as brain tumors, stroke, myasthenia gravis, and Lyme disease. However, if no specific cause can be identified, this condition is known as Bell’s Palsy, which is caused by swelling and pressure on the nerve at the stylomastoid foramen, leading to nerve compression or damage. Often, the affected side’s eye cannot be closed. Physiotherapy management plays a vital role in the rehabilitation process for Bell’s Palsy patients to reduce symptoms, accelerate recovery, and restore facial muscle function. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of infrared modality, mirror exercises, and faradic current in patients with Bell’s Palsy. Objectives: To examine physiotherapy management using Infrared, Mirror Exercise, and Faradic Current in cases of Bell’s Palsy. Methods: The method involved patients with left-sided Bell’s Palsy. Assessments were conducted using Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) to evaluate facial muscle strength and the Ugok Fish test to assess the functional ability of facial muscles. The therapy was administered four times with a combination of infrared, mirror exercises, and faradic current. Results: Evaluation of facial muscle strength on the left side using MMT showed that the frontalis muscle score increased from 1 at T1 to 3 at T4, and the orbicularis oris muscle score increased from 1 at T1 to 3 at T4 on the affected side. Additionally, functional ability measured by the Ugok Fish test improved from 50% initially to 60%. Conclusion: The administration of infrared, mirror exercises, and faradic current therapy resulted in increased muscle strength and improved functional activity in a case of Bell’s Palsy.

Abstract

Background: VO₂max is the gold standard for measuring aerobic fitness and plays an important role in supporting the performance of soccer athletes during matches lasting 2 × 45 minutes. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Sprint Interval Training (SIT) are two types of interval training that are commonly used to improve VO₂max. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of HIIT and SIT on increasing VO₂max in soccer athletes. Methods: This study used a two groups pre-test and post-test design. The research subjects were athletes from SSB AT-Farmasi Solo who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 16 subjects were randomly divided into two groups, namely the HIIT group and the SIT group, with eight subjects in each group. The intervention was conducted in six training sessions over a period of two weeks with a frequency of three sessions per week. During the study, two subjects dropped out, leaving fourteen subjects for analysis. VO₂max was measured using the beep test. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test to determine differences before and after the intervention and the Mann–Whitney test to determine differences between groups. Results: (1) There was an increase in VO₂max in the HIIT group after the intervention with a p-value of 0.014 (p < 0.05); (2) There was an increase in VO₂max in the SIT group after the intervention with a p-value of 0.011 (p < 0.05); (3) There was no significant difference in the effect of HIIT and SIT on increasing VO₂max with a p-value of 0.53 (p > 0.05). Conclusion: (1) HIIT is effective in increasing VO₂max in soccer athletes; (2) SIT is effective in increasing VO₂max in soccer athletes; (3) There is no difference in the effect of HIIT and SIT on increasing VO₂max in soccer athletes.
