This study aims to evaluate the impact of Learning Management System (LMS) usage on student academic performance in Brazilian secondary schools. A quantitative descriptive approach was applied to analyze students’ interaction data within LMS platforms and correlate it with their academic grades. Data were collected from 180 students across three public schools using LMS activity logs and online questionnaires. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between LMS usage frequency—especially assignment submissions and discussion forums—and student grade averages. Consistent LMS engagement contributed to improved learning outcomes, particularly when supported by active teacher facilitation and well-integrated digital instructional design. The study recommends enhancing teacher training and digital infrastructure as key strategies to optimize LMS effectiveness in Brazil’s secondary education context.

Leprosy is a disease caused by the bacterium Myobacterium Leprae (Fitria & Mellaratna, 2023). One of the complications that occur due to leprosy or morbus hansen is pressure ulcers (Motuho et al., 2023). Pressure ulcers are wounds that occur on the skin and underlying tissues due to prolonged pressure on certain areas of the body. This often occurs in people who lie or sit in the same position for a long time, such as in patients who cannot move independently. This research method is a case report conducted for 3 weeks at Sumber Glagah Mojokerto Hospital. The examinations used include pain examination (NRS), muscle strength examination (MMT), ROM examination (Goiniometer), and functional activity examination (Barthel index). Physiotherapy interventions used stretching, active exersice, passive exersice, strengthening exersice and ambulation transfer exercises. After 3 interventions, the results were obtained, namely decreased pain, increased muscle strength, and increased functional activity. However, there has been no increase in the scope of joint motion or ROM.

This study evaluates the importance of physiotherapy interventions in assisting patients to regain mobility and walking ability (ambulation) through agility training exercises. The study uses a case report method conducted on a 24-year-old male patient diagnosed with Post-Op ACL Reconstruction on the right knee (Dextra). The evaluations included measuring muscle strength using One Repetition Maximum (1 RM), assessing Range Of Motion (ROM) with a goniometer, conducting anthropometric measurements, and evaluating functional ability using the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale (LKSS). The physiotherapy intervention consisted of agility training exercises, including ladder drills, cone drills, and hurdle drills. The ladder drills involved quick in-and-out movements within floor ladder boxes, the cone drills included running around cones arranged in specific patterns (zig-zag, T-drill, or 5-10-5), and the hurdle drills involved jumping over small obstacles (lateral hop, forward hop, quick step). The results showed that the strength of the left quadriceps was higher than the right based on the calculated 1 RM values, the left knee shows good recovery progress while the right knee still requires further intervention to improve its function in terms of range of motion (ROM), no significant changes were observed in the length from the tibial tuberosity to the proximal measurement points over time (T0 to T3), indicating stable dimensions during the observation period, and functional ability as assessed by LKSS was interpreted as good knee function, meaning the knee functioned well, daily activities were generally not significantly impaired, and there were minimal complaints.

Fracture of the patella is a relatively rare injury but has a significant impact on the function of the extensor mechanism in the human knee, especially if there is a significant dislocation or displacement of bone fragments in the knee. Surgical treatment using the Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) method is the main choice to ensure optimal bone union and is used as a restoration of joint function in the knee. Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) aims to restore the anatomical position of the patella and to ensure the stability of the knee structure. After ORIF installation, patients will often face disorders such as; pain, limitations in the range of joint motion (LGS), and decreased muscle strength. Physiotherapy plays an important role in dealing with these problems. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions including ankle pump, quadriceps static contraction, breathing exercise, and early mobilization on improving knee function in patients with Post Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) Fracture Patella. This study used a qualitative descriptive study design with a case study approach. The pain scale measured using the Numeric Rating Scale before the intervention was 8 after the intervention became 6. The range of motion of the joints was measured using a goniometer, and functional ability was measured using the lower extremity functional scale. Physiotherapy interventions including ankle pump, quadriceps static contraction, breathing exercise, and early mobilization have a positive effect on Post ORIF Fracture Patella patients.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a combined physiotherapy intervention—ultrasound, TENS, stretching, and strengthening exercises—on pain, joint mobility, muscle strength, and functional activity in a patient with plantar fasciitis caused by a calcaneal spur. A case study was conducted involving a 58-year-old female patient who underwent three physiotherapy sessions over two weeks. The interventions included ultrasound (3 MHz frequency, 5 minutes, twice a week), TENS (continuous mode, 15 minutes, intensity per patient tolerance), stretching (calf raises and towel stretches, 2 sets of 10 repetitions), and ankle strengthening exercises using a theraband (8-second holds for 8 minutes). Pre- and post-intervention assessments used the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), goniometer, Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), and the Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI). The results showed reductions in pain (rest: 5–2; pressure: 5–3; movement: 7–5), improved joint mobility, and an increase in FADI score from 51 to 57, although no significant changes were observed in muscle strength. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of weekly functional assessment (FADI) into an evidence-based multimodal physiotherapy protocol applicable in resource-limited clinical settings.

This study evaluates the effects and importance of post- and post-operative physiotherapy interventions for heart valve replacement to help patients recover their functional abilities. This study was conducted using a case report method where researchers involved a male patient who was treated at DR Kariadi General Hospital Semarang with heart valve disorders. The evaluation used was measuring the patient's vital signs before and after the intervention, measuring the degree of shortness of breath with the Borg scale, measuring pain using the numeric pain rating scale (NPSR), measuring thoracic mobility using the midline, measuring functional ability with the ICU Mobility Scale. Physiotherapy interventions provided were education and breathing exercises before valve surgery and post-operative exercises for respiratory valve replacement including pursed-lip breathing, huffing, and thoracic expansion exercises. The results showed an increase in the physiotherapy intervention given at (T0-T3) where there was an increase in patient hemodynamics, thoracic mobility, functional ability and a reduction in pain in the incision area, and the degree of shortness of breath. Based on the research results that have been carried out, physiotherapy interventions during pre-operative care include patient education and post-operative care include the influence of increasing thoracic mobility, reducing the degree of shortness of breath, pain in the incision area, and increasing functional activity.

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of cryotherapy and thermal therapy in reducing pain among patients with acute ankle sprain. A systematic search was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scimago databases, yielding 907 articles. After applying strict inclusion criteria, seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with a total of 203 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Data were analyzed using Review Manager 5.3 with a random-effects model, and methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro Scale. The meta-analysis showed no statistically significant difference between cryotherapy and thermal therapy in pain reduction, with a Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) of 0.09 (95% CI: -0.90 to 1.08) and substantial heterogeneity (I² = 88%). Funnel plot analysis indicated potential publication bias. Despite the high methodological quality of the included studies, variations in intervention type, duration, and patient population limit the generalizability of the findings. This study offers a novel contribution by being one of the few meta-analyses to directly compare these two modalities specifically in acute cases. The findings support flexible, evidence-based clinical decision-making tailored to individual patient needs and available resources.
