Abstract

Introduction: The aging process in older adults leads to various physiological changes, including a decline in nervous system function that may increase the risk of developing dementia. Dementia is a neurodegenerative syndrome characterized by decreased cognitive functions such as memory, orientation, attention, and thinking ability, which negatively affect independence and quality of life in older adults. This condition also increases the risk of mobility impairment and dependency in daily activities. Therefore, effective non-pharmacological interventions are needed to maintain and improve cognitive function. One such method is Square Stepping Exercise, a structured stepping-pattern-based physical exercise initially developed to improve balance in older adults, which has also been shown to stimulate cognitive function through enhanced concentration, memory, and motor coordination. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Square Stepping Exercise in improving cognitive function in older adults with dementia. Methods: This study employed a case study design involving one older adult with dementia and moderate cognitive impairment. The Square Stepping Exercise intervention was administered in 12 therapy sessions with a frequency of three times per week. Cognitive function was measured using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) before and after the intervention. Results: After 12 sessions of Square Stepping Exercise intervention, an improvement in cognitive function was observed as measured by the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). The MMSE score increased from 13 (moderate cognitive impairment) before the intervention to 23 (mild cognitive impairment) after the intervention. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the implementation of Square Stepping Exercise for 12 therapy sessions demonstrated an improvement in cognitive function in older adults with dementia, as indicated by an increase in MMSE scores from the moderate cognitive impairment category to the mild cognitive impairment category. These findings suggest that Square Stepping Exercise has the potential to be used as a non-pharmacological intervention to improve cognitive function in older adults with dementia

Abstract

Introduction: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a neuromusculoskeletal condition commonly experienced by pregnant women in the third trimester. This condition is caused by fluid retention, which causes swelling and compression of the nerve within the carpal tunnel. Hormonal fluctuations such as progesterone, estrogen, renin, and angiotensin during pregnancy contribute to swelling and compression of the median nerve. Symptoms resulting from median nerve compression include pain, numbness, and tingling sensations in the hand. These symptoms can reduce hand functional ability, interfere with daily activities, and decrease the quality of life of pregnant women. The management of CTS in pregnancy is limited in the use of innovative, safe, and effective non-pharmacological, physiotherapy-based interventions to address movement and hand function disorders. Neurodynamic exercise is a median nerve mobilization technique that alters nerve length in relation to surrounding structures and improves intraneural blood flow. This technique focuses on stretching methods that reduce neural tension and help restore nerve function. Neuromuscular taping (NMT) helps reduce fluid congestion, improve blood and lymphatic circulation, decrease excess heat, restore tissue homeostasis, and reduce inflammation and pain receptor hypersensitivity. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of neurodynamic exercise and neuromuscular taping as physiotherapy interventions on hand function in pregnant women with carpal tunnel syndrome. Methods: This study was a case study using a single-subject research design conducted on a third-trimester pregnant woman with CTS. The physiotherapy program was delivered six times over three weeks, from April 13 to April 29, 2025. Hand functional ability was evaluated using the Wrist–Hand Disability Index (WHDI). Results:After the physiotherapy intervention, the WHDI score decreased from 40% (moderate disability) before intervention to 18% (minimal disability) after intervention. Conclusion: Neurodynamic exercise combined with neuromuscular taping had a positive effect on hand functional ability in a pregnant woman with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Abstract

Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common knee injuries and may result in instability and functional impairment, particularly in physically active individuals. In cases of ACL rupture, reconstruction surgery is performed to restore knee stability. However, during the early rehabilitation phases (phase 1–2), patients commonly experience problems such as limited range of motion and decreased muscle strength, which may hinder the process of returning to sport. Methods: This study used a case study design with a descriptive observational approach involving one post-ACL reconstruction patient at Bintang Physio Clinic Bandung. Physiotherapy interventions were administered over four sessions and included Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and progressive exercise therapy. Outcome measures included range of motion assessed with a goniometer, muscle atrophy assessed by midline measurement, muscle strength assessed using Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), and functional activity assessed using the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS). Results: After four therapy sessions, the patient demonstrated improvements in range of motion from 100° to 130°, muscle strength from grade 4 to 4+, reduction in muscle atrophy, and improvement in LEFS score from 33 to 56. Conclusion: Physiotherapy intervention during the early phase after ACL reconstruction showed positive outcomes in improving knee function and functional activity, and may serve as an important foundation in preparing patients for a safe and gradual return to sport.

Abstract

Introduction: Post-Needling Soreness is the most frequently reported transient adverse event following dry needling and may negatively affect patient comfort and treatment adherence. This study aimed to compare the severity of Post-Needling Soreness between the In-Out and Rolling dry needling techniques in individuals with upper trapezius Myofascial Trigger Point Syndrome (MTrPS). Method: A quasi-experimental study was conducted involving 92 participants with upper trapezius MTrPS. Post-Needling Soreness was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 0.5, 24, 48, and 72 hours after the intervention. Differences between groups at each time point were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, while changes over time and interaction effects were examined using mixed ANOVA. Result: The Rolling technique produced significantly greater Post-Needling Soreness than the In-Out technique at 0.5 hours post-intervention (p=0.026). However, no significant between-group differences were observed at 24, 48, or 72 hours (p>0.05). Mixed ANOVA demonstrated significant main effects of dry needling technique (p=0.029) and time (p<0.001). That interaction between technique and time was not statistically significant (p=0.456). Conclusion: Both groups exhibited a progressive reduction in Post-Needling Soreness throughout the 72 hour follow-up period. The In-Out technique resulted in lower acute Post-Needling Soreness than the Rolling technique, although both techniques demonstrated a similar recovery profile over 72 hours. These findings suggest that the In-Out technique may be preferable when minimizing immediate post-treatment discomfort is a clinical priority.

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Penuaan dan gaya hidup sedenter berkontribusi terhadap berkurangnya mobilitas dinding dada, dan melemahnya otot respirasi. Namun, mengenai efektivitas intervensi yang dikombinasikan spesifik pada lansia dengan gaya hidup sedenteri masih terbatas. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi pengaruh kombinasi thoracic expansion exercise (TEE) dan Manual diaphragmatic release (MDR) terhadap peak expiratory flow (PFR) pada lansia dengan gaya hidup sedentari. Metode: Eksperimen semu dengan rancangan one-group pretest–posttest diterapkan dalam penelitian ini. Sebanyak 45 lansia (14 laki-laki, 31 perempuan, berusia 60-69 tahun) dengan gaya hidup sedentari, direkrut menggunakan purposive sampling. Partisipan menyelesaikan 16 sesi intervensi kombinasi TEE dan MDR (3 sesi per minggu). PEF diukur menggunakan Mini-Wright Peak Flow Meter sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif. Normalitas dinilai menggunakan uji Shapiro–Wilk, dilanjutkan dengan uji paired-samples t-test. Ukuran efek dihitung menggunakan Cohen's (d), dengan signifikansi statistik ditetapkan pada p < 0,05. Hasil: Empat peserta dikeluarkan karena tidak menyelesaikan protokol, sehingga 41 peserta yang dapat dilanjutkan untuk analisis akhir. Rerata PEF meningkat secara signifikan dari 341,34 ± 41,99 L/min pada kondisi awal menjadi 361,95 ± 47,23 L/min setelah intervensi, dengan peningkatan rerata sebesar 20,61 L/min (p < 0,001). Intervensi menunjukkan ukuran efek (d = 0,46). Kesimpulan: Kombinasi TEE dan MDR signifikan meningkatkan fungsi ventilasi yang ditunjukkan oleh peningkatan PEF pada lansia sedentari. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa keterbatasan mekanik pernapasan akibat penuaan yang diperberat oleh perilaku sedentari dapat dimodifikasi melalui intervensi yang menargetkan mobilitas dinding dada dan fungsi diafragma. Mengingat sifatnya yang sederhana, aman, dan non-invasif, intervensi kombinasi ini berpotensi menjadi strategi praktis untuk meningkatkan kesehatan pernapasan pada lansia. Penelitian selanjutnya dengan desain uji acak terkontrol dengan variabel mediator dan ukuran sampel yang lebih besar diperlukan untuk mengonfirmasi efektivitas temuan ini.

Abstract

Introduction: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury often delays athletes’ return to sport. Psychological Readiness to Return to Sport is a key factor in rehabilitation success. Compassionate Care, emphasizing empathy and emotional support, may enhance psychological readiness.To examine the effect of Compassionate Care-based physiotherapy on Psychological Readiness to Return to Sport among athletes following ACL injury. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group study involved 60 athletes with ACL injury. The intervention group received Compassionate Care-based physiotherapy, while the control group received conventional physiotherapy for 12 weeks. Psychological readiness was assessed using the ACL-Return to Sport after Injury Scale (ACL-RSI). The intervention group showed significantly greater improvement in ACL-RSI scores than the control group (p<0.05). Confidence and motivation increased, while fear of reinjury decreased. Compassionate Care-based physiotherapy positively improves athletes’ psychological readiness to return to sport after ACL injury.
