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: 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.

Abstract

Background: Frozen shoulder is a common disorder encountered by physiotherapists, causing limited movement and pain in the shoulder joint. Many complaints experienced by patients require effective therapeutic modalities to improve joint functional ability. This study aimed to determine the effect of manipulation therapy after standard therapy on improving shoulder joint functional ability in frozen shoulder patients at Telogorejo Hospital, Semarang. Methods: This study used an experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test design with control, involving two groups of frozen shoulder patients. Sampling was conducted randomly with a total of 30 patients. Both groups received standard therapy in the form of TENS and ultrasound, while the treatment group received additional manipulation therapy. The measurement instrument used was the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) to assess pain and functional ability, which was analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: The analysis showed a significant decrease in SPADI scores in the treatment group (pre-test value 62.6±6.17 decreased to post-test 44.07±5.8, p<0.05) compared to the control group (pre-test 64.4±7.58 to post-test 53.5±6.3, p<0.05). This indicates a greater improvement in functional ability and pain reduction in the treatment group. Conclusion: Manipulative therapy after standard therapy effectively improves function and reduces pain in patients with frozen shoulder. It is recommended that manipulative therapy be included in the rehabilitation protocol for frozen shoulder patients to achieve optimal therapeutic results.

Abstract

Background: Non-specific low back pain (LBP) is pain in the lower back that has no specific pathological cause, characterized by tenderness and muscle spasm that reduces lumbar stability. Common therapies in healthcare facilities include Short Wave Diathermy (SWD) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). However, effectiveness can be increased by adding Core Stability Exercise (CSE), which focuses on strengthening the core muscles to maintain spinal stability. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of adding CSE after SWD and TENS in reducing pain in patients with non-specific LBP. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pre-test and post-test design. The study sample consisted of 30 patients with non-specific LBP at Bethesda Hospital in Yogyakarta, who were selected using purposive sampling according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Group I received SWD and TENS, while group II received SWD, TENS, and CSE twice a week for four weeks. The research instrument was the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Data analysis was performed using the paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. Results: Analysis showed a p-value <0.001 in both groups, with greater pain reduction in the group that received additional CSE. Conclusion: The addition of Core Stability Exercise after SWD and TENS therapy was effective in reducing pain in patients with non-specific LBP. It is recommended that physiotherapists integrate core stability exercises as part of standard therapy to reduce pain and improve lower back stability.

Abstract

Background: Knee osteoarthritis causes a decrease in quadriceps muscle strength and pain during activities. Strengthening the quadriceps muscles through exercise effectively reduces pain and improves the quality of life of patients. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of open kinetic chain (OKC) and isometric exercises on pain reduction in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental two-group pre- and post-test design with 40 patients with knee osteoarthritis. Patients were randomly divided into two groups of 20 people. Group I performed OKC exercises and group II performed isometric exercises for 4 weeks (3 sessions/week). Pain was measured using the valid and reliable Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Data analysis used the Wilcoxon test for pre- and post-comparisons within each group and the Mann-Whitney test for differences between groups.  Results: OKC and isometric exercises significantly reduced pain in patients. The mean VAS reduction in the OKC group was 2.10 ± 0.60, while in the isometric group it was 1.20 ± 0.51. The difference in pain reduction between groups was significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion: OKC exercise was more effective in reducing knee osteoarthritis pain than isometric exercise. It is recommended that OKC exercise be used as the primary intervention in knee osteoarthritis physiotherapy rehabilitation for optimal results. Further studies with larger samples and longer durations are needed.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a condition of elevated arterial blood pressure that can cause dysfunction of vital organs such as the heart and kidneys. Complementary therapies, such as acupuncture and consumption of cucumber juice, are known to help lower blood pressure. This study aims to determine the effect of acupuncture therapy combined with cucumber juice on blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Methods: This study used a true experimental design with a pretest-post test control group design. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a sample size of 36 hypertensive patients at the BMI Pringsewu Lampung Primary Clinic who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research instruments used observation sheets and blood pressure measurements with an aneroid sphygmomanometer and stethoscope. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the One-Way ANOVA test. Results: The greatest average decrease in systolic blood pressure occurred in the acupuncture therapy group combined with cucumber juice, with a percentage decrease of 13.76% in systolic and 11.10% in diastolic blood pressure. The results of the analysis showed a significant effect on the reduction in systolic blood pressure (F = 6.369; p = 0.005), while the reduction in diastolic blood pressure was not significant (p = 0.205). Conclusion: Acupuncture therapy combined with cucumber juice is effective in lowering systolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This combination therapy can be used as a non-pharmacological complementary alternative for controlling hypertension.

Abstract

Background: Upper trapezius muscle spasm pain often occurs due to excessive forward head posture and persistent muscle tension, thereby hindering functional activities. Various physiotherapy modalities are used to reduce pain, including Dry Needling (DN) and Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of DN and LLLT in reducing upper trapezius muscle spasm pain. Methods: This study was an experiment with a two-group pre- and post-test design. A sample of 30 patients from the Physiotherapy Clinic at Dr. Ramelan Hospital in Surabaya was selected using simple random sampling and divided into two groups of 15 people each. Group I received DN intervention, while group II received LLLT for four weeks at a frequency of three times per week. The research instrument used the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), which has a reliability of 0.97 and validity of 0.925. Data analysis was performed using the paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. Results: There was a significant difference between the VAS scores before and after treatment in both groups (p=<0.001). The pain reduction score was higher in the DN group (Δ=3.5) than in the LLLT group (Δ=1.75), proving that DN is more effective in reducing upper trapezius muscle spasm pain. Conclusion: DN is more effective than LLLT in reducing upper trapezius muscle spasm pain. DN intervention can be used as the primary choice in the management of neck muscle spasm and combined with therapeutic exercises for optimal results.
