Abstract

Background: Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) in the upper trapezius muscle causes pain and limited neck function, which can interfere with work activities. Physiotherapy efforts used to reduce pain and improve neck function include McKenzie Neck Exercise and Neck Cailliet Exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in the effects of McKenzie Neck Exercise and Neck Cailliet Exercise on neck functional ability in workers with MPS of the upper trapezius muscle. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pre- and post-test design. Sampling was conducted using simple random sampling of 30 employees of PT Iskandar Indah Printing Textile who met the inclusion criteria. The subjects were divided into two groups, namely group I, which received McKenzie Neck Exercise (n=15), and group II, which received Neck Cailliet Exercise (n=15). The intervention was given twice a week for three weeks. The research instrument used the Neck Disability Index (NDI) to measure neck functional ability. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test, paired t-test, and independent t-test. Results: The test results showed a significant improvement in neck functional ability in both groups (group I p=0.001; group II p=0.000). The between-group difference test showed a p-value of 0.004 (p<0.05), which means there was a significant difference between the two exercises. Conclusion: Both exercises were effective in improving neck function, but the McKenzie Neck Exercise was more effective than the Neck Cailliet Exercise. The McKenzie Neck Exercise can be recommended as a more optimal physiotherapy intervention to improve neck function in workers with upper trapezius muscle Myofascial Pain Syndrome.

Abstract

Background: The elderly experience a decline in cognitive function due to degenerative processes that affect their independence and quality of life. Crossword Puzzle Therapy is one of the non-pharmacological interventions that can stimulate cognitive functions, including memory, concentration, language, and problem-solving. This study aimed to examine the effect of crossword puzzle therapy on cognitive function among older adults at community-based health service posts in Central Java, Indonesia. Methods: This research utilized a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The sample, selected through purposive sampling, consisted of 35 elderly participants who took part in six intervention sessions over a two-week period. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Data analysis involved the paired sample t-test for comparison, with the Shapiro–Wilk test applied to assess data normality. Results: The findings revealed an increase in the average MMSE score from 24.74 to 26.20 following the intervention. Results of the paired sample t-test yielded a p-value of <0.001 (<0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-therapy scores. Conclusion: Crossword Puzzle Therapy significantly improves the cognitive function of the elderly and offers an easy, affordable, and enjoyable intervention that can be applied within the community. Crossword Puzzle Therapy can be an intervention option to prevent cognitive decline and for older adults with cognitive impairment.

Abstract

Background: Poor sleep quality is one of the common problems in the elderly. Non-pharmacological interventions such as chair-based exercise (CBE) are considered effective in improving sleep quality. The study aimed to determine how CBE affects the sleep quality of older people at community-based health service posts in Central Java, Indonesia.   Methods: A pre-experimental one-group pretest-post test design was conducted at community-based health service posts in Central Java, Indonesia, with 30 elderly respondents selected through a purposive sampling technique. The intervention was performed for 4 weeks, twice a week. 30 minutes/session. Sleep quality was measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data analysis using the Wilcoxon test.   Results: The mean PSQI score before the intervention was 10.23 (SD = 1.80), with a maximum score of 15, and a minimum score of 7. After the intervention, the mean score decreased to 5.43 (SD =1.85), with a maximum score of 10 and a minimum score of 3. There was a significant decrease in PSQI scores after the intervention (Z= -4.583, p <0.001).   Conclusion: CBE can be an alternative non-pharmacological therapy that is effective, safe, and easy to implement in the elderly community, especially in the posyandu environment, which is the center of public health activities, especially to improve sleep quality. Its inclusion in posyandu lansia programs provides a useful way to enhance sleep quality and support health promotion and prevention initiatives, without the need for medication.

Abstract

Background: Blood pressure regulation is influenced by autonomic nervous system balance, where increased sympathetic and reduced parasympathetic activity contribute to hypertension. Acupuncture may modulate autonomic function but combined somatic and auricular approaches remain underexplored. This study evaluated a multimodal acupuncture protocol combining Neiguan (PC6), auricular vagus, and Er Shen Men on autonomic function and blood pressure.   Methods: A randomized controlled trial with a pretest–posttest design was conducted in 60 adults aged 20–60 years, allocated into four groups: combination therapy, PC6 only, auricular vagus + Er Shen Men, and sham acupuncture. Interventions were applied twice weekly for four weeks. Outcomes included heart rate variability (SDNN, RMSSD, LF/HF ratio, and heart rate) and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Data were analyzed using paired tests and ANOVA or Kruskal–Wallis tests with post hoc comparisons.   Results: The combination group showed significant improvements in SDNN, RMSSD, LF/HF ratio, and heart rate, along with reductions in systolic (−12.0 mmHg) and diastolic (−10.0 mmHg) blood pressure (p < 0.001). Single-intervention groups showed moderate changes, while the sham group showed minimal effects. Between-group differences were significant (p < 0.05), with greater improvements observed in the combination group.   Conclusion: Multimodal acupuncture is associated with improved autonomic function and reduced blood pressure, suggesting its potential as a non-pharmacological intervention for cardiovascular regulation.

Abstract

Background: Amputation of a lower limb has a detrimental effect on one's quality of life, psychological health, and physical health. Reduced physical capacity is one of the effects that contributes to physical health. As a result, the experience of using a prosthesis is essential for enhancing functional capacities to adjust to the social, professional, and family environments. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the length of prosthesis use and walking speed in transtibial prosthesis users.   Methods: This study used a cross-sectional analytical observational design. A two-minute walk test was used to measure walking speed, and an observation sheet was used to assess usage duration. Purposive sampling was employed to recruit a total of 15 participants, and hypothesis testing was conducted using Spearman’s rank correlation.   Results: The results showed that there was no significant correlation between walking speed and the duration of prosthesis use among transtibial prosthesis users (r = −0.314, p = 0.255).   Conclusion: This study found no statistically significant relationship between the duration of prosthesis use and walking speed among transtibial prosthesis users. Walking speed is likely influenced by multiple factors, including age, stump length, muscle strength, and prosthesis condition. Therefore, rehabilitation strategies should adopt a comprehensive and individualized approach rather than relying solely on the duration of prosthesis use.

Abstract

Background: Transtibial amputations generally have a better survival prognosis, and the remaining stump length after transtibial amputation (ideally 12-35 cm) plays a crucial role in the functional mobility of prosthesis users, including balance, weight transfer, walking, and daily activities. Mobility limitations can negatively impact the social aspects, quality of life, and health of amputees, making restoring mobility through prosthesis use an important goal. The purpose of this study was to determine and prove to evaluate the contribution of stump length the relationship between stump length and functional mobility in transtibial prosthesis users.   Methods: The research method used was quantitative, with an analytical observational study and a cross-sectional design. A total of 15 respondents were selected from a population of 55 below-knee amputee patients using transtibial prostheses using a purposive sampling technique using the L – Test of Functional Mobility instrument.   Results: The Spearman Rank Correlation test produced a p-value of <0.001 which is statistically significant with a correlation coefficient of 0.845 which is very strong and positive. So, there is a very strong relationship between stump length and functional mobility in transtibial prosthesis users.   Conclusion: The longer the transtibial stump, the better the functional mobility. It is recommended that during amputation the stump be kept as long as possible.

Abstract

Background: Menopause is a natural biological phase in women characterized by a decline in estrogen levels, which contributes to musculoskeletal deterioration and impaired balance function. Reduced dynamic balance in menopausal women increases the risk of falls and may affect functional independence. Aerobic exercise has the potential to serve as a non-pharmacological intervention to improve postural stability and neuromuscular function. This study aimed to systematically review the effects of aerobic exercise on improving dynamic balance in menopausal women.    Methods: This study employed a systematic literature review based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Literature searches were conducted in Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and PubMed databases for articles published between 2015 and 2025. The inclusion criteria included experimental studies involving menopausal or postmenopausal women receiving aerobic exercise interventions with outcomes related to balance, mobility, or fall risk. Studies were excluded if they were reviews, conference papers, non-experimental designs, did not involve aerobic exercise, or had incomplete data.   Results: Four studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings indicated that aerobic exercise, either as a standalone intervention or combined with strength and balance training, was associated with improvements in dynamic balance, functional mobility, and a reduction in fall risk among menopausal and postmenopausal women.    Conclusion: Aerobic exercise is effective in improving dynamic balance in menopausal women and may be recommended as a non-pharmacological physiotherapy intervention to prevent balance decline and reduce fall risk.
