Abstract

Background: Walking is a crucial milestone in an infant's gross motor development. Conventional baby walkers pose safety risks, whereas walking practice using a push walker equipped with a speed sensor allows for controlled walking exercises. Objective: This study aimed to describe changes in walking ability among infants aged 9–15 months after using a push walker with a speed sensor for 21 days. Methods: A single-group pre- and post-intervention design was employed. A purposive sample of 35 infants aged 9–15 months—who could stand but not yet walk—was selected. The intervention involved walking practice with a speed sensor-equipped push walker for 15–20 minutes, conducted in three daily sessions over 21 days. The device was kept at the respondents' homes, and usage was supervised. Data were collected through observation and measurements by enumerators. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequencies, percentages, means, and minimum/maximum values. Results: Most infants showed a positive initial response to the push walker. Nine infants (25.7%) were able to grasp the device independently upon initial introduction, while 26 infants (74.3%) required guidance. During the 21-day observation period, 13 infants (37.1%) began walking independently; the earliest onset was on day 3, with an average onset on day 12. The average walking distance increased from 1.4 m pre-intervention to 3.8 m post-intervention. Conclusion: Supervised use of a push walker with a speed sensor accelerated the development of walking ability in some infants aged 9–15 months.

Abstract

Background: Ankle injuries are among the most common injuries in basketball athletes, with lateral ligament sprains being the most frequently diagnosed condition. These injuries may lead to chronic ankle instability (CAI), a condition characterized by recurrent ankle sprains accompanied by a sensation of giving way or instability during physical activity. Objective: This study aimed to identify the prevalence of chronic ankle instability among high school basketball athletes in Bukittinggi City. Methods: This study used an analytical cross-sectional design and was conducted from March to May 2024. The study population consisted of high school basketball athletes in Bukittinggi City. Participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique, with a total sample of 162 athletes. Data were collected once from each respondent using the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT), in which a score of less than 24 was categorized as CAI. Additional variables included gender, body mass index (BMI), history of ankle sprain, and medical treatment after injury. Data were analyzed descriptively and using chi-square tests to examine associations between variables. Results: The prevalence of CAI was 51.2%. A higher proportion of CAI was observed among male athletes, those with overweight BMI, those with a history of ankle sprain, and those who received medical treatment after injury. Conclusion: CAI prevalence among high school basketball athletes in Bukittinggi is high, indicating the need for early screening and proper injury management strategies.

Abstract

Background: Tofu production workers are exposed to hot working environments, placing them at increased risk of physiological strain and work-related fatigue. One strategy to minimize these adverse effects is the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), particularly work clothing made from suitable fabric materials. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of different work clothing materials on the fatigue levels of tofu production workers exposed to hot working environments. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a comparative approach and was conducted in 2025 at Tofu Industry X. All six production workers were recruited as respondents using a total sampling technique. The intervention consisted of three types of work clothing made from polyester, cotton, and Chief Value Cotton (CVC), with each type worn for one hour while performing the same work activities. Fatigue levels were assessed using the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS). The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (One-Way ANOVA) with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The production room temperature reached 28.9°C, exceeding the recommended workplace temperature standard (24–27°C). The analysis revealed a statistically significant difference in workers' fatigue levels according to the type of work clothing material (p < 0.001). Cotton work clothing resulted in the lowest fatigue scores compared with polyester and CVC. Conclusion: The type of work clothing material significantly affected workers' fatigue levels in hot working environments. Cotton work clothing was the most effective material for reducing fatigue among tofu production workers.
