Abstract

Background: Amputation can be defined as the act of separating part of the body, part or all of an extremity. Currently, lower limb amputations account for 85-90% of all amputations and transtibial amputation is the most frequently performed type of amputation surgery. One of the problems with transtibial amputation is hyperextension and weakness of the ligaments in the knee. Knee hyperextension is a condition that occurs when the knee joint is extended (straightening the knee) excessively, thus putting pressure on the structure of the knee and the back of the knee joint. Ligament weakness in the knee is weakness in the anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament and lateral collateral ligament. Choosing the right prosthesis components can overcome this. One component that plays an important role is the foot component. Methods: This type of research is observational analytic with a cross-sectional design. The research subjects were 17 transtibial prosthesis users. Data analysis in this study used Spearman Rank Test. Results: Based on the Spearman Rank results, the significance result was 0.653 for the type of foot with hyperextension, while for the type of foot with ligament weakness, the significance result was 0.434. Both variables had variable values > 0.05, meaning there was no correlation between foot type and hyperextension and ligament weakness in transtibial prosthesis users. Conclusion: There is no correlation type of foot to hyperextension and ligament weakness. In future research, it is hoped that research can be carried out with a larger number of samples and a more varied type of foot.

Abstract

Known as hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a non-communicable disease (NCD). Preliminary study data from Dr. Kariadi Semarang Central Public Hospital indicated 561 patients with hypertension over the last three years (2021–2023). Hypertension symptoms often resemble those of other diseases and can vary among individuals, including fatigue, palpitations, increased blood pressure, nosebleeds, headaches, and nocturia, which can disrupt sleep quality. One of the non-pharmacological effort to prevent hypertension is slow-stroke back massage, This study aimed to determine the effect of slow-stroke back massage on blood pressure and sleep quality in hypertension sufferers. The research design employed a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, involving 42 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The results demonstrated that slow-stroke back massage effectively reduced systolic blood pressure (p-value = 0.00) and improved sleep quality scores (p-value = 0.00). Slow-stroke back massage can enhance relaxation and increase parasympathetic nerve activity, thereby reducing the heart's workload. This study recommends that nurses apply slow-stroke back massage therapy in hospitals to help control blood pressure and improve the sleep quality of hypertension sufferers.

Abstract

Stroke causes sensorimotor dysfunction that affects motor control ability and functional independence. Post-stroke recovery is influenced by repetitive sensorimotor stimulation. Recovery of motor control ability and functional independence of post-stroke patients often do not provide optimal results. This is thought to be related to the continuity of exercise performed by the patient. The Graded Repetitive Arm Supplementary Program (GRASP) is an exercise program designed to be carried out independently by post-stroke patients at home. This study aims to determine the effect of GRASP on upper extremity motor control ability and functional independence of post-stroke patients.                Quantitative research using a quasi-experimental design with a control group pretest-posttest design. A sample of 50 people was obtained using a purposive sampling technique. The motor control was measured using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity but functional independence was measured using Barthel index instruments. Data analysis used the t-test with SPSS 25 software.  The majority of the samples were male (86%) and experienced upper extremity motor control disorders with an average score of 40.32 (treatment) and 40.88 (control). The functional independence of the sample was in the moderate dependence category with an average score of 75.26 (treatment) and 76.04 (control). After the intervention, the average motor ability score became 43.37 (treatment) and 42.53 (control) which was accompanied by a change in the average functional independence score to 81.25 (treatment) and 79.43 (control) although it was still in the moderate dependence category. The paired t-test on motor ability and functional independence showed significance of 0.000 and 0.001 (treatment group) and 0.004 and 0.001 (control group). The unpaired t-test showed a significance of 0.002 (motor ability) and 0.015 (functional independen) GRASP is more significant in influencing the improvement of upper extremity motor control ability and functional independence of post-stroke patients.
