Abstract

The brachial plexopathy associated with massage therapy is rarely reported. This case report describes an uncommon case of brachial plexopathy that developed after a session of massage therapy and revealed past published reports of peripheral nerve injury following massage therapy. A 54-year-old Javanese woman developed sudden unilateral paralysis of her left shoulder girdle after a session of massage therapy. The massage session was stopped due to pain. She could not move her left shoulder immediately after 5 minutes of massage. There was hypoesthesia from shoulder to forearm, and there was decreased MMT of the left deltoid muscle. She regularly participated in a twice-weekly rehabilitation program targeting the left shoulder. It included NMES, laser therapy, PROM, strengthening exercises, and a home exercise program. A diagnosis of acute brachial plexopathy was suspected due to her recent history and the results of several examinations. She had a gradual recovery of strength, resolution of limitations of ROM, and sensory function in her shoulder. Rehabilitation programs have a major role in helping the patient do her functional activities. This case report presents as a reminder to massage therapists or physical therapists that massage therapy of the neck and shoulder should be carefully performed to avoid any injury. Further studies will help improve the safety procedures and effectiveness of massage therapy in the future.

Abstract

Background: Aging-related physical changes impact Quality of Life (Qol). Even though it is a popular form of exercise for the elderly, few of them are aware of the many advantages of Hatha Yoga. Aim: This study compares elderly exercise programs with Hatha Yoga in an effort to enhance quality of life in older adults. Material and methods: This was a randomized controlled trial consisting of 26 participants split into two groups: 13 people did Hatha Yoga and 13 people did senior exercise. For six weeks, both groups participated in three-week exercises, and the EQ-5D-5L was used to measure quality of life both before and after the intervention. Results: The elderly exercise group's delta post-test utility index score (0,15 ± 0,10) was lower than that of the Hatha Yoga group (0,46 ± 0,11); this difference was statistically significant (<0,001). The VAS score in the Hatha Yoga group (85,15 ± 7,38) was higher than that of the elderly exercise (74,15 ± 7,97) and the difference was significant (p=0.001). The difference in the score of Hatha Yoga (13,62 ± 5,47) compared to elderly exercise (2,46 ± 1,98) results in a significant p<0.001. Conclusions: Hatha Yoga improves better EQ-5D-5L than elderly exercises to improve the QoL of elders. Keywords: elderly, EQ-5D-5L, exercise, hatha yoga, quality of life

Abstract

Background: Futsal is a development of football which is the most popular sport in the world. In futsal there are many demands on individual technical and tactical skills that require a good balance. Kinesio taping stimulate mechanoreceptors, this stimulus can increase proprioception in normal tissue. Proprioception receptors are located in the skin, muscles and joints. For the distal extremities, receptors in the skin and joints become the most important factor. Increasing the ankle proprioception is important to improve balance that supports futsal players. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of kinesio taping on balance, immediately after the application of kinesio taping. Method: This study was a randomized control trial. The subjects were 44 recreational futsal players which were divided into 2 groups, control group (n=22) and treatment group (n=22). The control group performed the mCTSIB test without kinesio tapping application, the treatment group performed the mCTSIB test with kinesio tapping installed. Balance was measured before and after the intervention. Results: The average mCTSIB results in the control group showed an improvement of 1.45±2.59 with p=0.016. The average mCTSIB results in the treatment group showed an improvement of 24.27±1.49 with p=0.000. The results for the difference between pre-test and post-test scores showed a greater increase in the treatment group, this increase was statistically significant, with a value of p=0.000 Conclusion: There is a significant improvement in balance after kinesio taping application. Keywords: Ankle, Balance, Futsal, Kinesio taping, Mechanoreceptors, Proprioception

Abstract

Background: Pain is a significant health issue affecting millions worldwide, with lower back pain being particularly prevalent. A comprehensive understanding of pain distribution across different body regions is essential for effective management, yet studies on this in clinical settings are limited. Aim(s): This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and distribution of pain among patients at a pain clinic, focusing on identifying the most affected body regions and the impact of chronic conditions and comorbidities. Material and methods: A descriptive study conducted at Bandung Pain & Rehab Center from January 2019 to December 2022 included 5,103 subjects from 5,139 medical records. Demographic and clinical characteristics were analyzed using univariate analysis, revealing distinct chronic pain subgroups based on intensity, quality, clinical outcomes and comorbidities. Result: The study included 435 patients, with a higher prevalence of pain observed in females (59.8%) compared to males (40.2%). Lower back pain was the most frequently reported issue, affecting 58.2% of patients, followed by neck pain (24.4%) and shoulder pain (17.4%). Chronic pain was reported in 76.1% of patients, with the majority experiencing pain for more than six months. Comorbidities, including diabetes and hypertension, were found in 38.4% of patients, significantly influencing pain severity and distribution. Conclusions: Lower back pain emerges as the most prevalent pain condition among patients in this study, highlighting the need for focused interventions in this area. The association between chronic pain and comorbidities underscores the importance of comprehensive pain management strategies that consider the patient's overall health. These findings can guide clinicians in developing more effective treatment plans and improve patient outcomes in pain management.

Abstract

Objective: This narrative review aimed to describe the pathophysiology of mucus accumulation and mucus expectoration disorders, rehabilitation assessments, and airway clearance techniques in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Methods: Articles were searched using relevant keywords in PubMed, Google Scholar, and CINAHL databases. Article searches were carried out without limiting the article types or year of publication. Only full-text articles in English and Indonesian were included for data synthesis. Results: COPD causes physiological and structural changes in the airway including stiffness of the airway wall, impaired mucociliary clearance, and decreased cough ability due to respiratory muscle dysfunction. These changes then lead to mucus hypersecretion and mucus accumulation problems resulting in impaired airway clearance and worsened lung function. A rehabilitation assessment is important to assess cough ability and its impact on daily activities and quality of life. Various airway clearance techniques are used to reduce or eliminate airway occlusion and increase expiratory airflow and lung volume. Successful airway clearance can be supported by knowledge of the mechanisms by which mucus accumulates so that appropriate management can be provided. Conclusion: COPD causes airway stiffness, impaired mucociliary clearance, and weakened cough due to respiratory muscle dysfunction, leading to mucus accumulation and worsened lung function. Airway clearance techniques aim to remove obstructions, improve expiratory flow, and enhance lung volume. Understanding mucus accumulation mechanisms is crucial for optimizing airway clearance management based on patient needs.

Abstract

Introduction: Low fitness levels have long been the cause of various diseases that are often experienced by humans. Although the process of a disease is something that is related to many factors, it cannot be denied that lack of physical fitness is one of the biggest factors. In theory, the results of the VO2Max test will increase due to several mechanisms including increased respiratory muscle strength and increased cardiac output. Aim: Based on this theory, this study was conducted to see the impact of resistance training on cardiorespiratory fitness. Method: This study used a Quasi-Experiment design with a pre-post test with a total sample of 16 people and was divided into 2 treatment and control groups. Treatment is the group that is given a resistance training regimen and control is the group that is not given. Data was obtained by testing the YMCA Ergometry Cycle Test, then processed with SPSS with the Shapiro-Wilk test and Levene test and then a paired t-test was carried out. Results: The results of this study indicate the effect of providing resistance training with a p value = 0.01 which shows significant results. Conclusion: Resistance training increases cardiorespiratory fitness with quite significant results and can improve fitness, but it is still recommended for each individual to balance this resistance training with endurance training for optimal body fitness.

Abstract

Introduction: Osteoarthritis is an arthritic disease caused by joint cartilage damage that affects an estimated 302 million people worldwide. Factors that increase the risk of OA include being a woman, aged over 45, obesity, bone deformities, joint injuries, and repetitive strain on specific joints. Osteoarthritis is the leading cause of disability among older adults and needs a high health care and rehabilitation cost. The primary focus of treatment is symptom management and maintenance or restoration of functional capacity. The PMR programs include therapeutic exercises, modality uses, education and lifestyle modification (knee joint conservation). We aimed to determine the impact of PMR program combined with pharmacological therapy on 3rd-4th grade OA patients.  Methods: Case report of a woman, aged 62 years, diagnosed with right knee OA grade 3-4 with valgus deformity. Subject has chronic and progressive knee pain by visual analog scale (VAS) was 4-5, limited range of movement (ROM) in the right knee, and low back pain. The patient performed medical rehabilitation program combined with pharmacological therapy at Mitra Husada Pringsewu Hospital for 6 weeks and it was evaluated.  Results: Patient in comparison before and after treatment, pain was reduced from VAS score 4-5 to 3-4, ROM from extentiont-flexion angle 15-90o to 5-110o, Q angle remained the same, and The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score was decreased from 11-5-34 to 9-3-30.  Conclusion: A nonpharmacological and pharmacological therapy combination in medical rehabilitation programs  is needed to reduce pain, improve ROM, and improve the patient's quaity of life.

Abstract

Cerebrovascular accident during hypertensive disorder of pregnancy is a rare condition, but carries high risk of mortality and morbidity due to its unpredictable onset. Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) associated with eclampsia is responsible for 5–12% of maternal deaths during pregnancy. Eclampsia is defined as a convulsive episode occurring in the setting of preeclampsia. The hallmark presentation of eclampsia is characterized with generalized tonic-clonic seizures which typically lasted 60 to 90 second in duration, might be preceded with headaches, visual disturbance, abdominal pain, and increased blood pressure. HELLP syndrome frequently associated with severe preeclampsia-eclampsia and is characterized by three hallmark features of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets. Here, we report an unusual case of 25-year-old primigravida with 38 weeks gestation, which developed sudden eclampsia and intracranial hemorrhage. A night before admission, she complained about headache and had projectile vomit in the morning that followed by generalized seizure. She had no history of seizure or high blood pressure during her antenatal care. Laboratory test shows elevated liver enzyme and low platelets count and CT-scan which showed hemorrhage in left intraparenchymal lobes. She was successfully managed by multidisciplinary approach including emergency cesarean section, conservative neurological treatment for intraventricular hemorrhage and rehabilitation ever since in intensive care unit until discharge from ward. Rehabilitation approach in eclampsia with superimposed intraparenchymal hemorrhages could start safely as early as possible by collaboration with other departments. This can help mother achieved independency of activity daily living and improvement of cardiorespiratory endurance as before.

Abstract

Scraping therapy, also known as kerokan, is a traditional therapy practiced in East Asia for conditions like the common cold and musculoskeletal pain. While its mechanism of action (e.g., improved blood flow, reduced inflammation) suggests potential benefits, the effectiveness of scraping therapy requires further investigation. This review aimed to analyze the medical aspects of scraping therapy, including its efficacy, safety, and underlying mechanisms. We searched PubMed, ScienceDirect, Hindawi, and Scopus for studies published between 2014 and 2024 using keywords 'scraping therapy,' 'kerokan,' 'Gua-sha,' 'traditiona therapy,' and 'mechanism.' Studies were assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme qualitative checklist (CASP). Data will be analyzed using a thematic synthesis approach

Abstract

Background: Exercise training is recommended for patients with chronic low back pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate exercise training in patients with chronic low back pain by indirect measurement of VO2max. Patients and methods: This was an experimental cohort study involving 92 patients with chronic low back pain over a two-month period from 5 December 2023 to 5 February 2024. The patients underwent a four-week exercise training programme. Results: The mean age of the patients was 49.37±12.72 years, with extremes of 26 and 70 years. There was a significant improvement in VAS pain intensity (m before=66.6 ± 1.4 ; m after =12 ± 10.9 p=0.0000) and also a significant improvement in VO2 max (m before=25.87 ± 10.15 m after = 28.25 ± 10.64 p= 0.000). The risk factors associated with low VO2max were age over 60 (p=0.000; RR=3), obesity (p=0.0002; RR=2.41) and sedentary lifestyle (p=0.0008; RR=8.39). Conclusion: Indirect measurement of VO2max is effective for evaluating exercise training in patients with chronic low back pain. Our experimental exercise training protocol resulted in a significant improvement in patients' pain and VO2max.
