Abstract

ABSTRACT: Low back pain is a major complaint caused by multifactorial conditions. The most common factors of low back pain complaints are due to age, occupation and gender. This study aims to compare the differences in therapeutic effects of conservative physiotherapy with the provision of electrotherapy, namely; microwave diathermy combined with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), core stability exercise techniques and a combination of electrotherapy with core stability exercise (CSE). This type of research is quasi experimental with a pre-post test design in a population of 90 low back pain patients who seek treatment at the Physiotherapy clinic. By using purposive sampling technique of 60 patients who have met the exclusion and inclusion criteria, patients were divided into intervention groups, namely; (1) conservative physiotherapy (electrotherapy); (2) core stability exercise; (3) conservative physiotherapy and core stability exercise. Data collection techniques using visual analogue scale (VAS) measurement, and schoober method with analysis test using krusskal wallis. The results of this study showed a difference in the median value of pain of 2 (group 1), 4 (group 2), and 3.5 (group 3) with a P value on pain of 0.06>0.05, and a difference in the median value of muscle flexibility of 1.5 (group 1); 1.75 (group 2); 1.75 (group 3) with a P value showing 0.895. The three intervention groups have no difference in reducing pain and increasing flexibility.

Abstract

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that often impairs an individual's social and occupational functioning, including productivity-related activities. Patients with schizophrenia frequently face challenges in maintaining employment or running an independent business due to cognitive and emotional disturbances affecting their adaptive skills. This single-case study integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into occupational therapy to enhance productivity in a schizophrenia patient through an entrepreneurial activity—independently opening a coffee shop. The study subject is a 50-year-old male diagnosed with schizophrenia undergoing psychosocial rehabilitation at RSJ Dr. Soeharto Heerdjan. The CBT-based intervention was designed to develop adaptive thinking patterns and occupational skills through modeling, role-playing, homework assignments, and educational experiences in a small business setting. Evaluation was conducted using the Comprehensive Occupational Therapy Evaluation Scale (COTE) and direct observation throughout the program. The results showed improvements in endurance, categorization of tools and equipment, financial management, and adherence to standard operating procedures (SOP) in customer service. Additionally, the intervention led to enhanced initiative, time management, and self-control, which are key challenges in the productivity of individuals with schizophrenia. The novelty of this study lies in the application of CBT within occupational therapy as an entrepreneurial rehabilitation approach for schizophrenia patients, an area rarely explored in conventional occupational therapy interventions. Findings suggest that occupational therapy not only supports daily living skills but can also serve as an economic empowerment tool, fostering financial independence among individuals with mental health disorders. This approach has the potential for further development in productivity-based psychosocial rehabilitation programs in mental health institutions.

Abstract

Supraspinatus tendinitis is an inflammation of the supraspinatus tendon caused by the supraspinatus muscle tendon overlapping with the caput longus bicep tendon so that friction and repetitive pressure occur over a long period of time and result in damage to the supraspinatus muscle tendon and supraspinatus tendinitis occurs. Characterized by complaints of pain around the shoulder followed by limitation of motion in the shoulder joint. The clinical question arises "can the application of ultrasound and isotonic exercise reduce pain and functional ability improvement?". To be able to answer this question, an evidence search was conducted on 3 data bases, namely Science Direct, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The keywords used were supraspinatus tendinitis, rotator cuff tendinitis, therapeutic ultrasound, concentric eccentric, and a maximum of the last 5 years. In the search, 330 articles were obtained that met the criteria. Further searching was done manually on the relevant bibliography. After searching the titles and abstracts of these articles, 32 articles were found that met the inclusion criteria. Then the search phase continued by reading the entire article and found suitable articles as many as 1 article on Scopus, 2 on Science Direct, and 2 on Google Scholar. To reduce pain, increase ROM, and increase muscle strength, patients are given exercise therapy and modality therapy. The evaluation results obtained in each evaluation are an improvement experienced by the patient and are evaluated using the Shoulder Pain And Disability Index (SPADI) parameters.

Abstract

Children with Down Syndrome (DS) frequently experience feeding difficulties due to hypotonia, sensory processing disorder, and oromotor impairments. This case study aimed to describe the clinical reasoning and effectiveness of a sensory integration (SI)-based occupational therapy intervention in improving feeding skills in a 10-year-old child with DS. The intervention consisted of 12 structured sessions focusing on postural stability, proprioceptive awareness, fine motor control, and oromotor coordination. Evaluation tools included Sensory Profile 2 and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Post-intervention outcomes indicated significant improvement in spoon use, posture during mealtime, texture tolerance, and self-feeding independence. FIM scores improved from total assistance (score 1) to supervision (score 5). This case highlights the potential of SI-based occupational therapy in enhancing functional feeding independence in children with DS.

Abstract

Background: Bell’s Palsy is defined as paralysis of one side of the facial nerve, with an unknown cause. Several other conditions can also cause facial paralysis, such as brain tumors, stroke, myasthenia gravis, and Lyme disease. However, if no specific cause can be identified, this condition is known as Bell’s Palsy, which is caused by swelling and pressure on the nerve at the stylomastoid foramen, leading to nerve compression or damage. Often, the affected side’s eye cannot be closed. Physiotherapy management plays a vital role in the rehabilitation process for Bell’s Palsy patients to reduce symptoms, accelerate recovery, and restore facial muscle function. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of infrared modality, mirror exercises, and faradic current in patients with Bell’s Palsy. Objectives: To examine physiotherapy management using Infrared, Mirror Exercise, and Faradic Current in cases of Bell’s Palsy. Methods: The method involved patients with left-sided Bell’s Palsy. Assessments were conducted using Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) to evaluate facial muscle strength and the Ugok Fish test to assess the functional ability of facial muscles. The therapy was administered four times with a combination of infrared, mirror exercises, and faradic current. Results: Evaluation of facial muscle strength on the left side using MMT showed that the frontalis muscle score increased from 1 at T1 to 3 at T4, and the orbicularis oris muscle score increased from 1 at T1 to 3 at T4 on the affected side. Additionally, functional ability measured by the Ugok Fish test improved from 50% initially to 60%. Conclusion: The administration of infrared, mirror exercises, and faradic current therapy resulted in increased muscle strength and improved functional activity in a case of Bell’s Palsy.

Abstract

Brachial Plexus Injury (BPI) is one of the most severe peripheral nerve injuries, frequently resulting from traffic accidents and causing significant functional impairment of the upper limb. Management of BPI requires a multidisciplinary approach, including physiotherapy interventions aimed at restoring muscle strength, preventing atrophy, and improving sensory and motor function. This article reports the physiotherapy management of a 23-year-old male with BPI following a traffic accident, who underwent surgical procedures and rehabilitation at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta. The method used is a case report with literature review conducted via PubMed using relevant keywords. Physiotherapy interventions included Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and forced passive exercise. Evaluation results indicated improvements in muscle strength and prevention of muscle atrophy after three therapy sessions, although active motion limitations and sensory disturbances persisted. In conclusion, the combination of NMES and forced passive exercise is effective in increasing muscle strength and preventing atrophy in BPI patients, thereby supporting gradual and periodic functional recovery.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a biological process involving complex physiological and psychological transitions that demand high adaptability from women, especially approaching childbirth. Anxiety during the third trimester is frequently reported and is associated with increased cortisol secretion, which may negatively impact labor effectiveness. This literature review aimed to synthesize scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of endorphin massage in reducing anxiety among pregnant women in the third trimester. The review used a systematic approach based on the PICO framework, covering studies published between 2021 and 2025. Databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and SINTA were used to identify quasi-experimental studies comparing endorphin massage interventions with no massage control groups. Five studies met inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The results demonstrated consistent reductions in anxiety levels after intervention, with significant decreases in Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale scores and improvements in emotional well-being. Variations in treatment frequency and duration influenced the magnitude of anxiety reduction. Physiological mechanisms involved in endorphin massage include stimulation of mechanoreceptors, activation of the parasympathetic nervous system, and suppression of cortisol production, creating a state of relaxation beneficial for maternal health. The findings support the adoption of endorphin massage as a safe, non-pharmacological complementary intervention to reduce antenatal anxiety. Further randomized controlled trials are recommended to strengthen the evidence base and develop standardized clinical guidelines for its implementation.
