Abstract

Background: Entering old age, the elderly often face various problems, one of which is impaired cognitive function. Some factors that influence the decline in cognitive abilities in the elderly include gender, education level, occupation, nutritional status, and comorbidities that can interfere with the nervous system, such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The problem of dementia in the elderly is an important concern that requires effective prevention and treatment. Dementia in the elderly can include several aspects, such as orientation, registration, attention and calculation, memory, and language. Physiotherapy has an important role in maintaining and improving body movement function, so that a person can remain active independently. Aerobic physical activity can activate the hypothalamus to synthesize corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), which will affect the release of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine that improve memory consolidation. Objective: To determine the effect of aerobic low impact exercise on changes in cognitive function in the elderly with risk factors for dementia at STW Ria Pembangunan Cibubur. Methods: This study used a pre-experimental method with a one group pre-test and post-test approach. A total of 12 people who have met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The measuring instrument used was MMSE. The intervention was carried out 2 times a week for 4 weeks. Results: From all research objects, the average result of cognitive function before intervention was 17.00 and after intervention was 19.67. Hypothesis testing shows there is an effect of Aerobic Low Impact Exercise on improving cognitive function. Conclusion: Aerobic Low Impact Exercise has an effect on improving cognitive function in elderly people with dementia risk at STW Ria Pembangunan Cibubur.

Abstract

Background: tailors tend to bow for a long time which results in excessive activation of the postural muscles in maintaining the position of the neck which causes weakness, decreased activity, and muscle imbalance which results in pain in the neck area. In overcoming these disorders, the intervention that can be given is deep neck flexor exercise. Objective: to determine the effect of deep neck flexor exercise on non-specific neck pain in tailors. Methods: this study used an experimental one group pre and post test with control design which was carried out in May-July 2024 at PT. Iskandar Indah Printing Textile with 30 subjects. The subject collection technique was carried out randomly by drawing lottery numbers. Group I was given an intervention in the form of deep neck flexor exercise and group II was given education about ergonomic positions for tailors. The study was conducted for 6 weeks with 2 meetings each week. Pain measurements using QVAS were carried out at the beginning and end of the study. Results: based on the results of statistical tests before and after treatment, group I obtained a p value = 0.001 (p 0.05) which indicates that there is no difference in QVAS before and after treatment in the control group. The results of the hypothesis test after treatment in groups I and II obtained a p value = 0.001 (p<0.05) which indicates that there is a difference in influence. Conclusion: giving deep neck flexor exercise can reduce pain in tailors who suffer from non specific neck pain.

Abstract

Alignment Knee joint alignment is a critical component in the biomechanical analysis of the body, particularly in locomotor activities such as running. Imbalance or malalignment in the knee joint can disrupt movement patterns and increase the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. In pediatric physiotherapy, early identification of lower limb posture is essential to support optimal gross motor development. This study aims to examine the relationship between knee joint alignment and running speed in children aged 4–6 years. A crosssectional design was used, involving 45 children who met the inclusion criteria. Measurement of knee alignment was performed using a goniometer to assess the quadriceps angle (Q-angle), and running speed was evaluated using a 20-meter sprint test. Statistical analysis with Spearman’s correlation revealed a significant relationship (p=0.012; r=0.373). These findings indicate that better knee joint alignment is associated with faster running speed in young children. This study underscores the importance of biomechanical evaluation in physiotherapy interventions for early childhood development.

Abstract

Anxiety is a common mental condition characterized by feelings of nervousness, fear, and restlessness that can interfere with daily life. Parents who have children with intellectual disabilities often experience anxiety due to various factors, including psychological pressure and high emotional burdens. The aim of this study was to analyze the level of anxiety among parents who have children with intellectual disabilities at SLBN 4 Jakarta and to identify the relationship between predisposing and precipitating factors and the level of anxiety. This research employed a quantitative descriptive approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 81 parents at SLBN 4 Jakarta. Data were collected using a researcher-developed questionnaire to assess predisposing and precipitating factors, and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) to measure anxiety levels. The results showed that the majority of parents had mild anxiety levels (46.9%), while 40.7% did not experience anxiety. Spearman correlation analysis revealed no significant relationship between predisposing factors (r = 0.002; p = 0.988) or precipitating factors (r = 0.060; p = 0.593) and parental anxiety levels. However, there was a significant relationship between marital status and anxiety levels (p = 0.000). This study concludes that genetic and precipitating factors, such as medical conditions or exposure to certain substances, had little influence on parental anxiety in this context, although emotional vulnerability showed the highest average score. The implications of this study highlight the importance of social support and tailored interventions for parents.

Abstract

Balance impairment is one of the major problems commonly experienced by older adults as a result of degenerative processes, leading to an increased risk of falls. Falls may cause fear of recurrent falling, reduced physical activity, loss of physical capability, and may eventually result in disability and psychological consequences such as depression. Structured, occupation-based physical activity has been shown to provide various benefits for older adults, including improving physical function, slowing functional decline associated with degenerative processes, reducing fall risk, and enhancing postural control. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the occupation-based Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) BIG method on functional balance in older adults. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental pretest–posttest design was employed. A total of 10 participants were recruited using a total sampling technique and underwent 16 intervention sessions over a 4-week period, with each session lasting 60 minutes. Measurement instruments included a respondent characteristic questionnaire, the Berg Balance Scale as the primary outcome measure, and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) for intervention planning. The results indicated that individual factors (age, Body Mass Index, and comorbidities), as well as physical activity characteristics (frequency, intensity, and duration of exercise), were not significantly associated with functional balance in this sample (p > 0.05). In contrast, the paired t-test analysis demonstrated a significant effect of the occupation-based LSVT BIG intervention on functional balance in older adults (p < 0.001). These findings suggest that the occupation-based LSVT BIG method may be considered a promising intervention approach for improving functional balance in older adults

Abstract

Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) remains a gold standard for restoring joint function in patients with severe hip osteoarthritis, yet achieving optimal functional recovery post-surgery remains a challenge. Robot-assisted rehabilitation (RAR) has emerged as a novel physiotherapy modality offering structured, repetitive, and sensor-driven training that may enhance recovery trajectories. Objective: This literature review aims to identify and synthesise current evidence on the effectiveness of RAR in improving functional outcomes after THA, focusing on gait performance, muscle strength, balance, and quality of life. Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, PEDro, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar was conducted for peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025. Studies included those evaluating robotic modalities in THA rehabilitation. Data extraction and narrative synthesis were guided by the PICO framework. Results: Eight studies met inclusion criteria. Robotic systems such as Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL), Honda Walking Assist (HWA), Luna-EMG and Hunova demonstrated improvements in gait speed, stride length, lower limb strength, balance control and patient-reported functional scores compared with conventional therapy. Evidence supports enhanced neuromuscular coordination through individualized robot-based training. Conclusion: Robot-assisted rehabilitation appears to be a promising modality to support functional recovery after THA. Nevertheless, further large-scale studies with long-term follow-up are needed to confirm sustained benefits and cost-effectiveness for routine clinical practice.
