Abstract

Background: The second most common work-related disease has been identified as musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). That affect muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, peripheral nerves, and supporting structures are inflammatory and degenerative conditions. This study identified the job activity of community health centers with the risk of MSDs. Methods: The Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire (NMQ) was identified as a non-professional way of determining MSDs risk with modifications from statistical investigation models. The study was conducted with fifty-seven respondents of workers at a community health center (CHC). Results: The majority of respondents were female (82%) and showed obesity categories I and II. The correlation between age and work experience is 0.9. A prevalence of MSDs at the hand and wrist of 49% was found. Conclusion: Workers at CHC experienced the mild category of MSDs in the hand and wrist regions. Age and work experience are risk factors for MSDs in CHCs.

Abstract

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) can cause patients to experience negative symptoms that can significantly affect their ability to use their hands to perform daily activities. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a combination of splinting and exercise therapy with or without ultrasound therapy in improving CTS symptoms and the functional status of patients. Methods: This randomized pre and post-test control group design study was conducted in private physiotherapy practices in the Denpasar area from August to September 2022. Twenty-four subjects with unilateral CTS were randomly divided into an Intervention Group (n=12; splinting, exercise therapy, and ultrasound therapy) and a Control Group (n=12; splinting and exercise therapy only). Splinting was used all day and night for four weeks. Exercise therapy was given three times per week for four weeks. Ultrasound therapy was given once a day, three times per week, for four weeks. The subject's symptoms and functional status before and after treatment were evaluated using the Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTSQ), which consists of the Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) and the Functional Status Scale (FSS). Results: Significant improvements were found in SSS and FSS in Group 1 (SSS: p=0.000; FSS: p=0.000) and Group 2 (SSS: p=0.000; FSS: p=0.000), and a significant between-group difference was found in SSS (p=0.000) and FSS (p=0.001). Conclusion: The addition of ultrasound therapy to splinting and exercise therapy is more effective than that in improving the symptoms and functional status of patients with CTS.

Abstract

Background: Elementary school students have unique characteristics. Each child has their ways of doing their activities. In its activities, of course, there are risks, especially in the lower extremities, namely flat foot, which is the condition of the medial arch treading with the ground or flat due to emphasis on the medial part, excessive or over foot conditions will result in an increase in valgus shape in the knee joint; thus the degree of quadriceps angle (Q-angle) can increase. This study aims to determine the relationship between flat foot and Q-angle in elementary school children in Kusamba Village, Dawan District, Klungkung Regency. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between flat feet and Q-angle. Methods: Observational analytical cross-sectional design that uses simple random sampling techniques with a sample of 51 people according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected with a wet footprint test and Clark's angle to find a flat foot and Q-angle with a 360o goniometer. Results: The analysis test results obtained a result of p=0.000 (p<0.05), so it can be explained that there is a significant relationship between flat foot and Q-angle. The results of the spearmen-rho analysis obtained a moderate relationship with the value of the correlation coefficient on the right flat foot with a right Q-angle of 0.527 and the left flat foot with a left Q-angle of 0.597 which means the direction of the relationship is unidirectional. Conclusion: Based on the study's results, it can be concluded that there is a moderate, unidirectional, and meaningful relationship between flat foot and Q-angle in elementary school children in Kusamba Village, Dawan District, Klungkung Regency.

Abstract

Introduction: One of the condition common types of muscular distortion is retrieved Q-angle and postural stability. The function lower extremities with all the structures assist postural stability in most static postures and dynamic movements or activities. The changes in the Q-angle and postural stability contribute to the development risk of falling. This study aimed to examine the relationship and implications of Q-angle and postural stability for fall risk. Methods: This study uses a literature review by conducting data through an electronic database such as Pedro, Pubmed, and Google Scholar. They had discussed approximately Q-angle, postural stability, and fall prevention with selection by inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: We discovered three research related articles. The studies examined the relationship and implications of Q-angle and postural stability for fall risk. The results of those studies, Q-angle and postural stability had a correlate and implication for fall risk. Conclusion: Q-angle and postural stability are related to the risk of falling. The risk of falling can be decreased by reducing the Q-angle and improving postural stability. Additionally, it can be achieved through exercise or orthotics to helps reduce the risk of falls, which will eventually avoid injuries.

Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that can cause pain, stiffness, and reduce balance function, thus interfering with daily activities. Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Stretching (PNFS) can increase proprioceptive stimulation and activate muscles, reducing pain and improving postural balance in the OA knee. This study aimed to determine the effect of PNFS on reducing pain and increasing postural balance in patients with knee OA. Methods: This type of research was an experimental study with a quick experimental approach without a control group. Nineteen respondents with knee OA were taken by purposive sampling and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. PNFS was done with the hamstring and quadriceps muscles twice a week for four weeks. The pain was evaluated using a numeric rating scale (NRS), while the dynamic balance was assessed by the timed up and go test (TUG), and static balance was examined by the one-leg stance (OLS) as well as Functional Reach Test (FRT). Results: There was a significant positive effect of PNFS to reduce pain and improve TUG, OLS, and FRT with p-values <0,05, respectively. Conclusion: Pain is the main problem in OA knee and reduced balance. However, PNFS exercises were recommended for rehabilitation management in patients with knee OA.
