Abstract

Background: Preschool is an important period in child development because of the acceleration in motor, language, and social-emotional skills. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have difficulties in social, communication, and repetitive behavior aspects that impact developmental delays. This study aims to analyze the developmental aspects of preschool-aged children with ASD. Methods: This study used a descriptive qualitative approach. The sample consisted of four preschool-aged children with ASD and their four mothers, who were selected using purposive sampling based on the Denver II criteria. Data collection was conducted through interviews and observations of child development during one assessment period. Data analysis was performed thematically with triangulation of sources and techniques and verification through member checks to ensure data validity. Results: The thematic analysis yielded three main themes, namely: (1) motor aspects, which include delays in locomotor skills, manipulative movements, eye-hand coordination, and early writing skills; (2) language aspects showing barriers in speech initiation and language expression abilities; and (3) socio-emotional aspects including delays in environmental exploration, independence, and social interaction abilities. Conclusion: Preschool-aged children with ASD have developmental delays in motor, language, and social-emotional aspects with varying degrees of severity according to age. Structured occupational therapy and early intervention based on multisensory stimulation are recommended to support the optimal developmental achievement of children with ASD.

Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis is one of the most common degenerative diseases, not only in Indonesia but also throughout most of the world. This disease causes pain in sufferers. Kinesio taping has therapeutic effects for muscle function correction by increasing weak muscle strength and improving blood and lymphatic circulation. Quadriceps strengthening exercises are one form of strengthening exercise recommended to increase the strength of the quadriceps and lower extreme muscles. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of kinesio taping and quadriceps strengthening exercises on reducing osteoarthritis pain based on the literature. Methods: This study was a literature review using PICOT analysis. Five databases were used, namely PubMed, Sage Journal, BMC, Science Direct, PEDro, and snowballing technique. After all articles were collected and checked for duplication and screening, 11 articles were accepted and analyzed from 223 articles. Results: In this literature study, the researchers searched for and selected articles from 223 titles to 11 titles that met the inclusion criteria. Nine of the eleven journals had an effect on knee OA pain.  Conclusion: Research on the effect of Kinesio Taping and quadriceps strengthening exercises on knee osteoarthritis pain was conducted using a literature study method, and eleven articles that passed the screening test showed that Kinesio Taping and quadriceps strengthening exercises have an effect on knee osteoarthritis pain.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension in the elderly isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), where increased systolic pressure increases the likelihood of stroke and myocardial infarction even if diastolic pressure is within normal limits. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in the effect of progressive muscle relaxation and elderly exercise on blood pressure reduction in elderly hypertensive patients. Methods: This study used a two-group pre-test and post-test design involving 20 subjects randomly divided into two groups. Group I was given progressive muscle relaxation treatment, and group II was given elderly exercise treatment. The frequency of exercise was twice a week for two weeks. The measuring instrument used in this study was a sphygmomanometer.  Results: Hypothesis I test using a paired sample t-test obtained a p-value of 0.001, while hypothesis II test using a paired sample t-test obtained a p-value of <0.001. Hypothesis III test using an independent sample t-test obtained a p-value of 0.042 (p<0.005). Conclusion: Progressive muscle relaxation combined with exercise for the elderly has an effect on lowering blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension. Both interventions can be used to lower blood pressure in the elderly.
