Abstract

Background: The risk of falls among the elderly was a significant public health issue, as it could lead to serious injuries, decreased quality of life, and increased healthcare costs. One of the main contributing factors to falls was the decline in knee joint stability and balance function. The use of simple orthoses such as knee supports was suspected to provide additional stabilization and enhance proprioceptive input, thereby improving balance and reducing the risk of falls. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of knee support use on the risk of falls in the elderly in terms of static and dynamic balance. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The sample consisted of 15 elderly individuals at the Posyandu Lansia in Dusun Pepe, Kelurahan Gedongan. The instrument used to measure static balance was the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and for dynamic balance, the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test was used. Data were analyzed using a Paired T-Test and Wilcoxon, preceded by a normality test using the Shapiro-Wilk method. Results: The results of the pairedsample t-test and wilcoxon test showed that the significance value was less than 0.05. There was an increase in BBS scores and a decrease in TUG time after the knee support intervention was given. Knee support had an effect on the risk of falls in the elderly in terms of both static and dynamic balance. All research participants were female. Conclusion: This study showed that knee support intervention affected the risk of falls in the elderly as seen from improvements in static and dynamic balance. Keywords: Elderly, Fall risk, Knee support, Balance

Abstract

Background: Child development is a form of continuous and natural stages, therefore each aspect that is developed influences each other. One aspect of development that greatly influences children is language development, both receptively (understanding) and expressively (expression). One of the factors that influences language development is early reading practice (early literacy) and storytelling. Early literacy skills are the knowledge, attitudes and skills of an early age child related to reading and writing before mastering formal skills at school age. The components of early literacy are reading interest, language skills, phonological awareness, reading skills, and writing skills. In addition to early age reading skills (literacy), to improve expressive language skills, also by getting children used to telling stories (story telling). Story telling is a mechanism for conveying stories using words, images, sounds, or movements with the intention of communicating messages or influencing the audience. Objectives: This study is to determine the effect of Early Literacy Skills and Story Telling on the Expressive Language Skills of Preschool Children. Methods: This study design uses a systematic review conducted by searching and selecting various kinds of data from the results of previous research and data from the results of clinical trials conducted across ethnicities, races, and also the location in the world, the time of the study results to be selected is in the period 2000-2023. The article search will be conducted for a maximum of 2 months. Instrument: Research data is searched from databases, including: PubMed and Google Scholar. Results: By using the search keywords "early language intervention" AND "clp" AND "observational".  Conclusion: The storytelling method has been proven effective and significant in improving the language skills of early childhood, especially in the aspects of expressive language, vocabulary, and oral communication. A variety of media (digital, puppets, children's work, and local wisdom) strengthens the effectiveness of this method. Storytelling is recommended as the main learning strategy in stimulating the language development of early childhood. Keywords: Storytelling, Expressive Language Skills

Abstract

Background: Autism disorders are often accompanied by fine motor problems, which can affect daily activities and children's development at school. Intervention through occupational therapy, namely fine motor play activities, is one alternative in improving children's fine motor skills. Objectives: To determine the effect of fine motor play activities on fine motor skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with the General Linear Model Repeated Measures (GLM-RM) Test method. The instrument used was The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2). With a sample size of 11 autistic children using the purpose sampling technique. Results: The average BOT-2 score on the fine motor component of boys and in the age group of children (5-11 years) tended to be higher. The results of the hypothesis test using the Friedman test and repeated ANOVA obtained values ​​of 0.001; 0.024; and 0.000 (p <0.05), which means there is a difference between the average BOT-2 scores in each measurement. Conclusion: This study shows that there is an influence of fine motor play on fine motor skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Keywords: Fine motor play, Fine motor skills, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Abstract

Background: Phonological awareness is crucial in the early school process, as it is foundational for reading and writing skills. However, research data on the phonological awareness of elementary school-age children in Indonesia remains scarce. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of a phonological awareness intervention on the literacy skills of first-grade elementary school children in Surakarta. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach23. A sample of 30 children was selected using total sampling. The intervention was administered over 2 weeks, consisting of 6 sessions, each lasting 45 minutes. The instruments used were early literacy and phonological sensitivity tests, analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: Pre-intervention literacy skills showed 28 children (93.3%) in the "poor" category. Post-intervention, 28 children (93.3%) were in the "good" category. The Wilcoxon test analysis yielded a p-value of 0,000 (p < 0,05), indicating that the phonological awareness intervention had an effect on the development of literacy skills. Conclusion: The phonological awareness intervention significantly affects the literacy skills of first-grade elementary school children in Surakarta. Keywords: First-grade students, Literacy Skills, Phonological awareness

Abstract

Background: Postural control plays a major role in maintaining postural adjustment during daily activities. Calculating body position should be precisely accurate toward gravitational forces to maintain neutral body alignment. Neutral body alignment is influenced by postural muscle activation and kinematics. In static positions, such as standing and sitting, there are different lumbo-pelvic kinematics. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare lumbar extensor activation during three static positions: standing, sitting on a chair, and sitting on the floor. Methods: this study uses cross sectional observational method 15 healthy subject was randomly recruited during this observational study, performing three static positions, standing, sitting on a chair and sitting on the floor while Surface Electromyograph (sEMG) placed on erector spine in lumbar segment, we recorded muscle activation on EMG monitor in those three static positions and compared to each static positions. Results: sEMG activation erector spine data in this study showed erector spine muscle activation increased during standing was 12.95 ± 0.94 µV, sitting on a chair was 2.63 ± 0.82 µV and sitting on the floor with mean erector spine activation was 2.63 ± 0.82 µV, in one way ANOVA between and within Group was p < 0.001. Conclusion: erector spine muscle activation during standing are greater than sitting on a chair with mean differences value was 5.6 µV and erector spine muscle activation during sitting on a chair are greater than sitting on the floor with flexed knee with mean differences was 4.62 µV.

Abstract

Background: English plays a crucial role in education and professional life, including in physiotherapy, as most scientific literature and other sources of knowledge are written in it. However, students of the Physiotherapy Specialization Program (SST) at the Ministry of Health Polytechnic of Surakarta still exhibit low learning motivation, which results in suboptimal English learning achievement. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the relationship between learning motivation and English learning achievement of physiotherapy students. Methods: The study used a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 300 respondents selected using a total sampling technique. The research instrument was a learning motivation questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability (r count > 0.113; Cronbach's Alpha = 0.966). Data were analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test after meeting the assumptions of normality and linearity. Results: The results showed a positive and significant relationship between learning motivation and English learning achievement (r = 0.661; p < 0.01), with an effective contribution of 43.7%. This means that the higher a student's learning motivation, the higher their English learning achievement. Conclusion: Learning motivation plays a crucial role in determining the academic success of physiotherapy students. The results of this study are expected to serve as a basis for developing learning strategies that can foster learning motivation and improve the quality of English language learning in vocational health education settings.

Abstract

Background: Abstract Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior, with signs of difficulty understanding and using language verbally or nonverbally. The language ability of children with autism is different from other children, the syntactic pattern is still simple, often only mentioning phrases in saying something so that they are not able to make meaningful sentences. The prevalence of children with autism in Surakarta City reaches 100 children and is the second highest number of autistic students in Central Java. Objectives: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the drill method on syntactic abilities in ASD. Methods: The type of research to be conducted is quantitative research with the method used, namely pre- experimental with One Group Pre-test Post-test Design. The number of samples used was 15 children with ASD. The collected data will be analyzed descriptively and bivariously using a statistical test technique, namely the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: Based on the pre-test and post-test bivariate tests that have been carried out on 15 ASD children, the results show that the pretest posttest score was obtained with a Z value of -3.334 and an Asymp.Sig (2-tailed) value of 0.001. Because the value is 0.001 < 0.05, Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. Conclusion: After receiving treatment 12 times, it was found that the average increase in the test score from 12.40 to 16.20 based on the results of the analysis test with the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test obtained a p value (sig.) of 0.001 or a p value (sig.) <0.05. So it can be interpreted that there is an increase in syntactic ability using the drill method in children with autism spectrum disorder. Keywords: Drill Method, Autism, Syntactic Ability

Abstract

Background: Preterm infants often experience weak sucking reflexes due to the immaturity of the oromotor neuromuscular system. This condition leads to delays in the development of oral feeding skills, increases the risk of aspiration, and prolongs hospitalization in the NICU. Oral stimulation is a non-invasive intervention aimed at facilitating the maturation of sucking–swallowing abilities in preterm infants. Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of this intervention; however, a comprehensive summary of research findings is needed to strengthen clinical recommendations. Objectives: To determine the effect of oral stimulation on improving weak sucking reflexes in preterm infants. Methods: This study employed a systematic review design using a literature review approach that included five published studies from the past five years. Results: All five studies indicated that weak sucking reflexes in preterm infants are primarily caused by neuromuscular immaturity and poor suck–swallow–breathe coordination. Oral stimulation interventions—such as PIOMI, oral motor stimulation, and non-nutritive sucking—were shown to significantly improve sucking strength, sucking frequency, physiological stability, and the ability to transition to oral feeding. All studies reported accelerated achievement of full oral feeding, and most demonstrated a reduction in NICU length of stay. Conclusion: Oral stimulation has been consistently proven effective in improving the sucking reflex of preterm infants and accelerating readiness for oral feeding. This intervention is safe, easy to administer, and recommended as part of routine NICU care to support feeding maturation and enhance clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Background: The integrative theory argues that theories from the perspective of scientific management and human behavior are seen as failing to integrate various factors within an organization such as organizational structure, technology used, and the environment in which the organization operates. Objectives: The objective of IPE communication is to exchange ideas, opinions, and information involving two or more professions in an effort to establish interprofessional collaboration. The aim is to integrate (compare and contrast) what has been done and said by others' research. Methods: The research was conducted by analyzing open access journals. The methodology of this research is a coverage review using the Google Scholar website accessed through Publish and Perish, with Mendeley and VOS Viewer used as tools for bibliometric analysis and semantic document network visualization. It uses the Google Scholar database and and the inclusion criteria are articles accessible in full text between 2011 and 2024. Results: Collaboration in the field of interprofessional education is quite close within this group, but still centered on a small cluster. Conclusion: This indicates the potential for developing research networks outside the same circle so that research does not stagnate and can gain cross-institutional or disciplinary perspectives. Keywords: Integratif theory, IPE Communication, Systemic review
