Abstract

Introduction: Balance disorders are a major factor in influencing some elderly disability rates in Indonesia. Especially the incidence of falls that can cause a decrease in quality of life. Therefore, it is important to take preventive measures in the form of identifying the risk of falling in the elderly group with the Time Up and Go Test (TUG) balance test. Methods: A quantitative study with a descriptive cross-sectional approach was used in the Tridadi elderly group, Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. The TUG test results were grouped into two; high risk of falling if the respondent completed the TUG test in more than 13.5 seconds and the normal category if the respondent was able to do the test in less than 13.5 seconds. The data were analyzed and presented based on a frequency table with sampling using the purposive sampling method. Results: From a total of 29 Tridadi elderly group populations, the average total test duration was 10.68 seconds. Male respondents were on average faster in completing the test than female respondents 9.3:10.84. A high risk of falling was found in 4 out of 29 respondents (13%) all of whom were female with an age range of 48-69 years. Conclusion: The level of risk of falling in the Tridadi elderly group shows that the female elderly group tends to have a higher risk of falling with a longer TUG test duration than men. By identifying the risk of falling figures, further steps need to be taken related to the analysis of risk factors and preventive and rehabilitative steps in the population at risk of falling.

Abstract

Introduction: Physiotherapists are among the health professionals whose productivity and performance significantly impact job happiness. This study examines the relationship between personality factors and job satisfaction among Bandung's physiotherapists. Methods: Using the Cochran formula, a correlational quantitative technique was used to select a sample of 68 physiotherapists. A modified work satisfaction survey was used to gather data, and personality characteristics were evaluated using the Big Five Inventory (BFI) adaption questionnaire. Results: Regression analysis showed no significant relationship (r = -0.026, p > 0.05) between personality traits and work satisfaction among physiotherapists in Bandung. These findings imply that work happiness is not only determined by personality type. Instead, workload, connections with coworkers, management support, and work environment can be more critical. Conclusion: The results emphasize the necessity of an all-encompassing plan to raise healthcare workers' job satisfaction. Healthcare organizations can improve patient care and results in healthcare settings by implementing focused interventions to boost the well-being and productivity of physiotherapists by recognizing the numerous components that contribute to work satisfaction.

Abstract

Introduction: Stroke is a disorder of brain function due to rupture or blockage of blood vessels in the brain. To collect and analyze previous studies related to the improvement of walking ability of post-stroke patients with MRP intervention compared with functional training. Methods: The meta-analysis method by sourcing seven research articles that were searched using PICO criteria consisting of population, namely post-stroke patients, intervention provided, namely Motor Relearning Program, and comparisons in the form of functional training with outcomes of improved walking ability. Keywords used in searching articles are “Motor Relearning Program”, “stroke”, and “randomised controlled trial” through a database in the form of Google Scholar. Data was processed using the Review Manager application (RevMan 5.3). Results: There was an increase in walking ability in stroke patients who were given a motor relearning program by 1.83 units compared to patients who were given functional training (SMD = 1.83; 95% CI = 0.01 to 3.65) and the results were statistically significant (p <0.00001). The heterogeneity of the study data showed I2= 97% (random effect model). Conclusion: A Motor Relearning Program (MRP) is more effective than functional training in improving walking ability in post-stroke patients.

Abstract

Introduction: The incidence of musculoskeletal disorders in industrial workers who rely on manual material handling was found to be 100%. Uncontrolled exposure to risk factors in the workplace will cause the cumulative effect of repetitive strain injury so that musculoskeletal disorders become progressive and chronic and have the potential to cause disability, drug abuse, absenteeism, and cost expenditure. This study aimed to examine the effect of integrating ergonomic interventions and motor control exercises to improve work posture and reduce musculoskeletal disorders in stone crusher workers. Methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial design with two groups, a control group, and a treatment group. The study respondents were selected randomly, each group consisting of 21 respondents. The control group intervention consisted of conventional physiotherapy actions: Portable Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) treatment modalities, Portable Ultrasound (US), passive joint mobilization, and passive stretching. The treatment group intervention is called the ergo movement system which consists of the stages of risk assessment, risk control-task adaptation, and motor exercise. The data assessed included work posture assessment using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) instrument and musculoskeletal complaints using the Nordic Body Map instrument. Data measurements were conducted before the intervention and 4 weeks after the intervention. Results: The control group intervention statistically only had a significant impact on reducing musculoskeletal complaints 0.01<0.05 but had no impact on improving work posture 0.83>0.05. Meanwhile, the treatment group intervention significantly affected improving work posture 0.01<0.05 and reducing musculoskeletal complaints 0.01<0.05. Conclusion: The ergo movement system intervention was significantly more effective than conventional physiotherapy intervention in overcoming problems related to occupational health.

Abstract

Scoliosis is a structural deformity of the spine in the lateral direction with a curvature of ≥10° in the coronal plane. The occurrence of posture disorders towards scoliosis is often only realised in adolescence, namely with an age range of 10-16 years. If you only realise it at this age, then it is too late, because other health problems can arise that affect your future life. Therefore, the existence of this study is expected to be able to make an instrument for the early detection of postural developmental disorders in preschool children against the incidence of scoliosis. From the examination that has been carried out on 94 students, it has been found that 74% of children have normal posture with a degree range of 10 to 40, and 25% of children have been detected with intermediate scoliosis (50 to 70). The next measurement that the researcher made was to measure the degree of arch of the child's foot. Measurements of normal categories of foot, flat foot and cavus foot use Clarke's angle. Clarke's angle is obtained from the meshing angle of the tangent formed by the first line connecting the medial edge of the first metatarsal caput and the heel and the second line connecting the first metatarsal caput with the crest of the medial longitudinal arch. Data was obtained that most children experience flat feet as much as 77%, which is dominated by male children.

Abstract

Introduction: Current technological developments are very fast making it easier for people to carry out all activities via smartphones. One of the frequently used smartphone functions is typing and sending messages. Typing and sending messages can be done anytime and anywhere. Typing messages on a smartphone while walking falls into the dual-task category. This study aims to analyze the effect of using dual-task texting on cervical region muscle activity on smartphone users, where smartphone users type messages while walking. Methods: The method used is a single-group repeated experimental design. A total of 36 subjects consisted of 19 women and 17 men with an age range of 21.28 ± 0.97 years. The parameter measured is the upper trapezius muscle activity. Subjects were asked to walk in five conditions, namely baseline walking, texting flashcard 1, texting flashcard 2, texting flashcard 3, and texting flashcard 4. All experiments recorded upper trapezius muscle activity using an electromyograph. Results: The results of repeated measure ANOVA stated that typing on a smartphone had a significant effect (p < 0.05) on young respondents increasing activity of the upper trapezius muscle. Conclusion: Dual-task texting significantly affects cervical region muscle activity, particularly in the upper trapezius muscle on the right side, which has the potential to increase the risk of muscle fatigue in smartphone users.

Abstract

Introduction: Construction work environments, often characterized by exposure to dust and chemicals, pose significant risks to workers' respiratory and cardiovascular health. While much research has focused on the impact of dust on lung function, the role of cardiovascular load in contributing to these health issues remains underexplored. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between cardiovascular load (%CVL) and pulmonary function impairment based on forced vital capacity (FVC) in construction workers. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study involved 37 construction workers in Central Jakarta, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via spirometry and heart rate measurements before, during, and after work. Results: The results showed that 79% of respondents had restrictive disorders, while 21% had obstructive disorders. Statistical analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between %CVL and FVC values (p < 0.001; r = -0.550). These findings indicate that increased cardiovascular load is associated with decreased lung function, particularly in workers with long-term exposure to dust and extended work durations. Conclusion: Managing physical workload and controlling workplace environments are crucial to preventing pulmonary function decline in construction workers.

Abstract

Introduction: The developmental process of the fetus disrupts the daily activities of pregnant women, leading to musculoskeletal system disorders, mainly back pain. Fetal development causes postural changes and a shift in the body's centre of gravity to the anterior of the pregnant woman, resulting in paraspinal muscle tension and abdominal muscle weakness. Ignoring back discomfort during pregnancy can negatively affect a woman's overall health and happiness. Lumbar Stabilization Exercises are physical activities that aim to enhance neuromuscular function, strengthen the lower back, and improve flexibility, all of which contribute to maintaining spinal stability. This study aims to determine the effect of lumbar stabilisation exercise on the quality of life of pregnant women experiencing discomfort from back pain. Methods: The subjects of this study are pregnant women located at the Puskesmas Kartasura worksite who experience complaints of back pain. We assigned 11 respondents to the treatment group who underwent the exercise therapy known as LSE. We assigned another 11 respondents to the control group, who attended prenatal classes either in the village or at the clinic. We used the WHOQOOL Bref-Ina as the quality-of-life questionnaire. The data analysis involved using univariate analysis, normality tests, homogeneity tests, influence tests, and difference tests. Results: This study found that Lumbar Stabilization Exercise (LSE) affects the quality of life of pregnant women who report back pain (p = 0.000); however, there is no statistically significant difference (p = 0.902) between the treatment group and the control group. Conclusion: Lumbar Stabilization Exercises (LSE) effectively improve the quality of life for pregnant women experiencing back pain, as evidenced by significant improvements in physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains.
