Abstract

Amid the growing public interest in tourism that is not only refreshing but also provides health benefits, the integration of nature-based physiotherapy services represents a strategic innovation. This study examines the implementation of physiotherapy concepts within healthy and sustainable ecotourism, emphasizing the use of nature-based therapy at Sungai Mudal Ecotourism (ESM) in Kulon Progo, Special Region of Yogyakarta. Ecotourism is generally analyzed from environmental and socio-economic perspectives; however, its potential contribution to health promotion and rehabilitation remains underexplored. Given its natural assets, ESM serves as a relevant example of incorporating physiotherapy activities into ecotourism practices. This study employed a qualitative case study design, utilizing participatory field observations, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs) with ESM managers, document analysis of reports and related literature, tourist perception surveys, and light intervention studies on the benefits of therapy-based tourism activities. The results indicate that the natural environment, including rivers, waterfalls, and natural pools, provides opportunities for therapeutic activities such as hydrotherapy and musculoskeletal mobility exercises. These activities benefit both physical and mental health, thereby enhancing the attractiveness and sustainability of ecotourism. This study presents the paradigm of “healthy ecotourism,” which integrates physiotherapy-oriented environmental therapy techniques into ecotourism planning and management. Such integration encourages ESM to strengthen ecotourism sustainability through service diversification, support for local livelihoods, and the reinforcement of health–environment linkages.

Abstract

Osteoartritis lutut (osteoarthritis knee/KOA) merupakan kondisi degeneratif sendi yang berdampak signifikan terhadap stabilitas postural, mobilitas fungsional, dan peningkatan risiko jatuh. Gangguan stabilitas pada KOA tidak hanya disebabkan oleh kerusakan struktural sendi, tetapi juga oleh penurunan propriosepsi, perubahan aktivasi neuromuskular, serta gangguan biomekanik sepanjang rantai kinetik ekstremitas bawah. Selama ini, intervensi rehabilitasi lebih banyak berfokus pada penguatan otot lutut dan core proksimal, sementara kontribusi foot core muscle sebagai stabilisator distal masih relatif kurang dieksplorasi. Tinjauan literatur naratif ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran foot core muscle dalam stabilisasi postural pada pasien KOA berdasarkan mekanisme biomekanik dan neuromuskular. Hasil tinjauan menunjukkan bahwa otot intrinsik kaki berperan penting dalam mempertahankan medial longitudinal arch, mengontrol pusat tekanan (center of pressure), serta meningkatkan input sensorimotor yang esensial bagi keseimbangan. Integrasi latihan foot core muscle dalam rehabilitasi KOA berpotensi meningkatkan stabilitas postural, fungsi fungsional, serta menurunkan risiko jatuh. Pendekatan ini mendukung model rehabilitasi holistik berbasis integrasi stabilitas distal–proksimal.

Abstract

University students represent a population at high risk of experiencing psychological stress due to academic demands, environmental changes, and complex social role expectations. This vulnerability is further intensified in Yogyakarta as an educational hub characterized by high academic competition and adaptation challenges for students from diverse regions. This study aims to identify the level of stress among university students and to develop a mind–body–based psychological support community model as an innovative mental health service for students in Yogyakarta. This research employed a quantitative descriptive design involving 312 university students residing in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Data were collected using an online questionnaire distributed via Google Form. The research instrument was a modified version of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) adapted to the local student context. The findings revealed that 68.9% of students experienced moderate stress, while 21.7% were categorized as having high stress levels. Major contributing factors included academic pressure, financial demands, and social relationship issues. The results indicate a substantial need for accessible, non-stigmatizing, and sustainable psychological support services. The developed community model integrates peer support, mind–body practices, psychoeducation on emotional regulation, and professional referral pathways. This model demonstrates strong potential as a community-based mental health innovation tailored to university students’ needs.
