Abstract

Background: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury is a common injury caused by sports. This injury impacts the functional activities of sufferers because it can cause a long healing process. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the four main ligaments in the knee that functions to maintain the stability of the knee joint by preventing excessive movement of the tibia bone against the femur bone. Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries usually occur due to direct trauma, such as impact, or indirect trauma involving a sudden twisting movement of the knee while the foot is resting on the ground. The main symptoms of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury include severe pain, rapid swelling, knee instability, and significant limitation of motion. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Ultrasound and Functional Strength Training (FST) interventions on increasing Quadriceps muscle strength in patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries at the Fisiohands Physiotherapy Clinic. Methode of this research used a Quasi Experimental method with a One-group pre-test and post-test design. The sample of this study was 21 patients. Data analysis using the Non-Parametric Wilcoxon Test. The results of this study based on the analysis obtained that there was a significant change in the value of Quadriceps muscle strength before and after physiotherapy (P <0.05) so it was concluded that the administration of Ultrasound and Functional Strength Training (FST) was effective in increasing the strength of the Quadriceps muscle in patients with Anterior Cruciatum Ligament (ACL) injuries. Conclusion: From the results of this study, the administration of Ultrasound and Functional Strength Training (FST) is expected to be an alternative in the implementation of physiotherapy in patients with Anterior Cruciatum Ligament (ACL) injuries.

Abstract

Background: Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is an adaptive process influenced by molecular signals and metabolic conditions. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a NAD-dependent deacetylase, plays a crucial role in regulating skeletal muscle growth and regeneration through its interaction with key pathways such as mTOR, PGC-1?, FOXO, and myogenic factors. Aim: This literature review summarizes the current scientific evidence on the role of SIRT1 in muscle hypertrophy, including its effects on mitochondrial efficiency, oxidative stress reduction, and suppression of catabolic genes such as atrogin-1 and MuRF1. Method: A literature search was conducted using databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, focusing on articles from the last 10 years. Result: These findings indicate that SIRT1’s effects are highly context-dependent, varying with cellular energy status and external stimuli such as exercise or caloric restriction. Rather than directly inducing hypertrophy, SIRT1 facilitates a favorable cellular environment that enables sustained muscle growth. Conclusion: These insights offer promising potential for the development of molecular-based therapies to preserve or enhance muscle mass, particularly in aging populations or pathological conditions.

Abstract

Background: Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) occurs in soccer players who have experienced ankle sprains without receiving appropriate physiotherapy intervention. This condition can lead to decreased proprioceptive response, increased ligament weakness, and reduced muscle strength, ultimately affecting dynamic balance. Interventions that can be applied in this condition include single leg hopping and theraband exercises. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of single leg hopping on dynamic balance in soccer players with chronic ankle instability, to assess the effect of theraband exercise on dynamic balance in these players, and to compare the effects of single leg hopping and theraband exercise on dynamic balance in soccer players with chronic ankle instability. Method: This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test two-group design, comparing a treatment group that received single leg hopping exercises with another group that performed theraband exercises. The measurement tool utilized in this study was the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) to assess dynamic balance. A total of 26 participants were sampled. Data analysis was conducted using the Paired Sample T-test for hypotheses 1 and 2, and the Independent T-test for hypothesis 3. Result: Based on the results of the Paired Sample T-test for hypotheses 1 and 2, a p-value of &lt; 0.05 was obtained. However, the Independent T-test for hypothesis 3 revealed a p-value of &gt; 0.05 for the post-exercise Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) scores. Conclusion: There is an effect of single leg hopping on dynamic balance in individuals with chronic ankle instability, as well as an effect of theraband exercise on dynamic balance in this population. However, there is no significant difference in the effects of single leg hopping and theraband exercise on dynamic balance in soccer players with chronic ankle instability.

Abstract

Introduction: Two commonly used types of bags are backpacks that distribute weight evenly and totebags that put weight on one side of the body. The use of bags by school-aged children can affect their postural balance. Physiotherapy plays a role in ergonomics education, corrective exercises and core muscle strengthening to prevent muskuloskeletal disorders due to unbalanced loads. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of using backpacks and totebags on the movement of Center of Pressure (CoP) in children aged 8-12 years. Method: This study used 25 samples selected by purposive sampling technique with observational method and cross-sectional approach. CoP measurements were taken using the Zebris FDM-s in the gymnasium laboratory of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate, Shapiro-Wilk normality test, and Mann Whitney test with a significance of p<0.05. Result: The Mann-Whitney statistical test showed that there was no significant difference between the two types of bags on CoP movement (p=0.826). Despite the change in load distribution, the child's body is still able to adapt. Conclusion: The use of backpacks and totebags does not directly affect a child's postural balance in the short term, but it is important to pay attention to the weight and duration of use to prevent long-term muskuloskeletal disorders.

Abstract

Myogenic low back pain is one of the musculoskeletal disorders caused by dysfunction of muscles and supporting soft tissues such as tendons and ligaments. This condition is often associated with repetitive activities, excessive muscle use, and poor postural habits during daily activities. Myogenic low back pain can lead to reduced functional capacity and decreased productivity, therefore requiring appropriate and comprehensive management. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a combination of physiotherapy interventions, particularly gluteus medius muscle activation exercises, in reducing pain and improving functional ability in a case of myogenic low back pain. This study used a case report design conducted in a private physiotherapy clinic. The subject of this study was a 22-year-old male diagnosed with myogenic low back pain who complained of pain during physical activities. The physiotherapy intervention program consisted of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), manual therapy in the form of muscle release techniques, and gluteus medius activation exercises. The intervention was administered twice a week for four weeks, totaling eight therapy sessions. The outcomes of the intervention were evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale and the Oswestry Disability Index. The results showed a reduction in pain intensity and an improvement in the patient’s functional activity after eight therapy sessions. These findings indicate that a physiotherapy approach combining electrotherapy modalities, manual therapy techniques, and muscle activation exercises can contribute positively to improving the clinical condition of patients with myogenic low back pain.

Abstract

Introduction: The aging process causes a decline in physiological functions, including the cardiovascular system, which increases the risk of hypertension and heart disease in the elderly. Physical activities like elderly gymnastics have been shown to maintain fitness and reduce the risk of these diseases. However, mobility limitations and concerns about injury make it difficult for some elderly individuals to participate. Therefore, safe and effective modifications of gymnastics are needed, one of which is seated exercises using fabric to assist movements without adding excessive strain to the body. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of seated elderly exercise using a cloth as an aid on cardiovascular load in older adults.. Method: This quantitative study used a pretest–posttest single group design. The subjects were older adults in Mantren Hamlet, Klodran Village, Colomadu District, Karanganyar Regency, who met the inclusion criteria. The intervention was conducted in 10 sessions, each lasting 1 hour (10 minutes warm-up, 40 minutes core exercise, and 10 minutes cool-down). Blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate are measured before and after the intervention using a sphygmomanometer and oximeter. Data are analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and paired t-test or Wilcoxon test as appropriate. Results: Analysis of the study shows that the average systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased in the first week and fourth week after the intervention, while SpO₂ values remained within the normal range. The normality test indicated that the data did not follow a normal distribution, so the test was continued using the Wilcoxon test. The Wilcoxon test results showed a significant difference between the values before and after the intervention in all physiological parameters (p < 0.05), marked by a decrease in blood pressure and an increase in SpO₂ values after the intervention. Conclusion: The intervention applied was proven to have a positive effect on cardiovascular and oxygenation parameters in the elderly, as indicated by a significant decrease in blood pressure and an increase in oxygen saturation. This study shows that the intervention has the potential to be an effective approach to support cardiovascular health in the elderly, although further research with a larger sample and more optimal control of variables is still needed to strengthen the generalization of the findings

Abstract

Nutritional status and physical activity are important indicators in assessing the health of elementary school–aged children. An imbalance between nutritional intake and physical activity may adversely affect children’s growth and development. A preliminary study conducted at Suka Asih 02 Public Elementary School, Ceger, Bekasi Regency, indicated a potential prevalence of undernutrition among some students, despite generally adequate levels of physical activity. This study aimed to analyze the association between Body Mass Index (BMI) and physical activity among elementary school children at Suka Asih 02 Public Elementary School. This study employed a quantitative observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 40 students from grades IV, V, and VI, selected using purposive sampling. Body Mass Index was measured using a calibrated weighing scale and stadiometer, while physical activity levels were assessed using PAQ-C. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results showed that the majority of respondents (65.0%) were classified as underweight, whereas most respondents (82.5%) demonstrated good levels of physical activity. The Spearman Rank test revealed a statistically significant association between physical activity and BMI (p = 0.001; p < 0.05). The correlation coefficient (ρ = –0.496) indicated a moderate negative correlation between the two variables.
