Abstract

This study aims to compare gait parameters between the normal arch condition and the flat arch condition in students at SD Negeri Daleman 01, Nguter District, Sukoharjo. A flat foot, which is a common disorder characterized by the loss of arches in the feet, can interfere with walking pattern, cadence, timing, and speed. This study used a comparative approach with a cross-sectional observational analytic research design. The research sample consisted of students aged 7-12 years, with either a normal arch or flat arch condition. Gait parameters were measured using an instrument for assessing gait parameters. Data analysis involved tests for normality and hypothesis testing using the Mann-Whitney test. The results of the study showed a significant difference (p-value < 0.05) in gait parameters between the normal arch condition and the flat arch condition. Students with a normal arch condition demonstrated better gait parameters compared to those with a flat arch condition. Students with a flat arch condition tended to have shorter step lengths, wider step widths, longer ground contact time, and slower walking speeds compared to students with a normal arch condition. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that a flat arch condition potentially affects gait parameters in students at SD Negeri Daleman 01, with a p-value < 0.05. This information can be useful for relevant parties in monitoring and addressing gait parameter issues in students with a flat arch condition.

Abstract

Background: Knee osteoarthritis, which most commonly affects the medial compartment of the knee, is a chronic joint disorder that imposes a major healthcare burden. As no cure exists, traditional management aims to reduce pain, improve function, and enhance the quality of life while minimizing the adverse effects of therapy. Non-drug conservative interventions are considered the first-line approach to osteoarthritis management. Patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee typically exhibit genu varum on weight-bearing. This misalignment shifts the mechanical axis medially at the level of the knee joint, increasing the stresses on the medial compartment of the knee and potentially exacerbating knee osteoarthritis. Methods: The study design was a cross-sectional survey to determine the effectiveness of the lateral heel wedge in patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis. This study was conducted at the Pakistan Institute of Prosthetic and Orthotic Sciences in Peshawar. Results: This study concluded that there is a considerable effectiveness of the lateral heel wedge in patients with OA knee. There is some evidence to suggest that they do have some symptomatic effect, and it also shows that the ratio of females to males is high. Additionally, the rate of Knee OA is greater in older age.

Abstract

According to WHO and ISPO guidelines, three categories of personnel are involved in prosthesis and orthosis fabrication: prosthetists/orthotists; associate prosthetists and orthotists and prosthetics and orthotics technicians. It is important that they are competent and adequately trained. This is due to their responsibility in providing exemplary prosthetic and orthotics services to help users achieve mobility and elevate quality of life. To obtain information about the tasks performed on a job and the knowledge, skills, or abilities to perform those tasks, a practice analysis study is conducted. In this study, P&O companies in Klang Valley were invited to complete a survey to obtain information on professional background, domains, tasks, knowledge, skills etc. The survey questionnaires are adopted from the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics & Pedorthics, Inc. A total of 14 companies with 51 correspondents returned the survey. At the moment, the male practitioners dominate in P&O services (62%), most of the practitioners are between 25-34 years old, and mostly have <10 years of experience. In terms of patient distributions, adults are the highest (60%) followed by geriatric (20%) and pediatric (20%). The top three practice areas in orthotics are lower extremity (50%), spinal (21%) and upper extremity (15%), while for prosthetics are transtibial (30%), transfemoral (16%) and partial foot (11%). The top primary work performed are prosthetic and orthotic fabrication; clinical prosthetic and orthotic patient care; and education. Practitioners spent most of their time in these top three domains: patient assessment, formulation of the treatment plan and implementation of the treatment plan. These elementary findings of this study are useful for higher education and training providers in planning proper clinical and technical programmes for future and existing practitioners, also as support evidence for the policy maker in ensuring high quality provision of P&O services.

Abstract

Background: Spondylolisthesis is a spinal condition in which one vertebra slips forward or backwards with the next vertebra. Disturbances caused by this condition include the lumbar region, muscle spasm, decreased muscle strength, limitation of motion, and radiating pain in the legs. Most people refrain from back pain treatment and prefer a more traditional approach. Although many studies have proven that wearing brace for LBP were successful, lack of study mentioned about negative effects on short-term wearing. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of using semirigid Lumbo Sacral Orthosis on the strength of the Trunk muscles in the case of Low Back Pain (LBP) e.c Spondylolisthesis. Aims: to determine the effect of using semirigid Lumbo Sacral Orthosis on the strength of the Trunk muscles in the case of Low Back Pain (LBP) e.c Spondylolisthesis. Methods: This research was quasi-experimental research using a pretest and posttest design approach. It was conducted at the Yogyakarta General Hospital, UGM Academic Hospital, Dr. Soeradji Tirtonegoro Klaten hospital and Tugurejo Semarang Hospital. The number of participants was 35 patients with purposive sampling. Results: There was an effect of using LSO Type Semirigid on trunk flexion muscles before and after treatments (Z = -5.099 with p value = 0.000), trunk rotational muscle strength before and after treatment (Z = -4.600 with p value = 0.000), trunk extension strength before and after treatment (Z = -4.472 with p value = 0.000). Conclusion: There was an effect of semirigid Lumbo Sacral Orthosis on the strength of the trunk muscles in the case of Low Back Pain (LBP), e.c Spondylolisthesis. As a result, the most significant effect that experienced a decrease in trunk muscle strength after the patient used semirigid LSO was in the flexion muscle group (0.75), then extension muscle (0.58) and rotation muscle (0.65).

Abstract

Background: Flatfoot conditions cause children to experience balance problems due to musculoskeletal disorders of the foot. Cases of flatfoot are prevalent in many children and can interfere with their growth and development, potentially reducing their quality of life in the future. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve children's balance. This study aims to determine whether the usage of insoles has an effect on the balance of children with flatfoot conditions at Banyuanyar 3 Elementary School. Methods and Subjects: By implementing gross motor training for children and utilizing arch support insoles, the study seeks to enhance children's balance ability. The research design is a quantitative experimental design with Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT), employing Single Blinding, and data collection through Pre-test and Post-test. The purposive sampling technique was used, with an intervention period of 30 days. The subjects included students from SD Negeri Banyuanyar 3, with a selected sample of 30 children from a population of 119 with flatfoot conditions. Standard interventions, such as rhythmic gymnastics, function as efforts to improve children's balance abilities and are applied to both the control and intervention groups, each comprising 15 children. The Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) was used in this study to measure the level of functional balance in children. Results: The Wilcoxon test results for the treatment group indicated a P-value of 0.002 (<0.05), signifying a difference in balance ability between the pre-test and post-test in the treatment group. This indicates an improvement in balance among children using EVA insoles. Conversely, the control group's test results showed a P-value of 0.067 (P>0.05), suggesting no difference in balance ability between the pre-test and post-test in the control group. Therefore, based on this study, it can be concluded that the use of EVA insoles with arch support was found to improve the balance of children with flatfoot conditions.

Abstract

Background: Hallux Valgus (HV) entails a deformity of the hallux, resulting in heightened pressure on both the hallux and forefoot. One potential intervention involves utilizing foot orthoses with medial arch support. Aims: This study aimed to assess the impact of medial arch support foot orthoses on pressure distribution and peak pressure among women exhibiting mild to moderate hallux valgus. Methods: The research employed a quasi-experimental design, employing a one-group pretest-posttest methodology with 16 participants. Data collection involved recording pressure distribution and peak pressure via foot scans before and after one month of utilizing Medial Arch Support Foot Orthoses. Parametric analysis utilized a paired T-test. Results: The findings indicated a significant reduction in peak pressure, particularly in toe 1 and the metatarsal region (p < 0.005). However, there were no notable alterations in pressure distribution (p > 0.005), although a shift in mean pressure distribution from 21.94 to 22.63 was observed in the right forefoot. Conclusion: Medial arch support foot orthoses demonstrated efficacy in altering pressure distribution and mitigating peak pressure, thereby presenting as a viable intervention for individuals with hallux valgus. Future research should consider incorporating additional variables, such as spatiotemporal differences, both pre- and post-utilization of medial arch support foot orthoses.

Abstract

Background: Many people worldwide engage in sports as a hobby, for health training, work, fitness, and relaxation. However, physical activity can also lead to injuries, as can workplace accidents, traffic incidents, and mishaps at home. One common injury is an ankle sprain, particularly prevalent among highly active individuals. Several treatments are available for ankle injuries, with conservative early intervention being the preferred approach. The RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation) is commonly employed initially, which can be supplemented with protection and rehabilitation to form the PRICE regimen. Protection involves immobilization, which aids in pain and swelling reduction. Additionally, medications play a role in alleviating pain and swelling. Following conservative treatment, functional intervention utilizing external support is often employed to enhance ankle joint function and stability. In cases where conservative measures fail to yield satisfactory results, surgical intervention may be necessary to improve joint stability. Aims: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of ankle support in alleviating pain among futsal players who have sustained ankle sprains. Methods: The research adopts an experimental design, specifically a randomized controlled trial (RCT), employing simple randomization to form two groups: the control group and the treatment group. Results: Non-parametric tests utilizing the Mann-Whitney Test yielded a probability value of 0.693 (> 0.05), leading to the rejection of the hypothesis. Conclusion: Consequently, the study's findings indicate no significant difference in pain reduction between futsal players who use ankle support and those who do not follow ankle sprains.

Abstract

Background: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most prevalent motor disability in childhood, arising from abnormal brain development or damage, affecting muscle control. Knee Ankle Foot Orthoses (KAFO) is a lower limb orthosis extending from foot plate to thigh level, designed to support weakened leg muscles and stabilize knee and ankle joints, potentially halting deformity progression or rectifying flexibility. This study aims to elucidate the functional status of lower limb CP patients utilizing KAFO. Aims: This study aimed to describe the functional level of lower limb CP patients wearing KAFO. Methods: Informed consent was obtained, and data of 110 cerebral palsy patients were collected using non-random consecutive sampling. Patients were divided into two groups: one with 80 patients utilizing KAFO with 4PPS (four-point pressure system), and the other with 30 patients not using KAFO with 4PPS. Observational gait analysis was conducted, and subjective and objective details were recorded on a specially designed questionnaire. The OPUS scale evaluated the functional status of CP patients, and statistical analysis employed chi-square tests to examine the role of KAFO in their functional status using SPSS version 21.0. Results: Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between total functional score and KAFO use. Among the 80 KAFO users, 71 patients scored >40, while 9 scored <40. In the non-KAFO group, 28 patients scored <40, and 2 scored >40. KAFO users exhibited higher total functional scores, indicating improved functionality and independence in daily activities (p<0.05). Conclusion: The study concludes that KAFO utilization enhances the functional status of cerebral palsy patients, facilitating independent engagement in daily activities. Comparison of total scores between KAFO users and non-users underscores the association between functional improvement and KAFO use.
