Correlation Between Quadriceps, Hamstring, Tibialis Anterior, and Gastrocnemius Muscle Activation, With Knee Flexion Angle In Basketball Athlete While Performing Double-Leg Landing Task
No full textBackground: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury cause great disability for athlete. Recent focus of ACL injury management is on prevention by identifying the risk factors. Most of basketball injury mechanism is non-contact, related to landing process with small knee flexion angle. Muscle activation and its ratio, which control movement pattern in sagittal plane, are said to play a role in dynamic movement such as landing.
Aims: The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between muscles activation and their activation ratio of quadriceps, hamstring, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius with knee flexion angle of basketball athlete while performing double-leg landing task.
Material and methods: This study was an observational analytic, cross sectional study. Study subjects was basketball athletes age 16 – 25 years in Surabaya. Measurements of knee flexion angle done with digital measurements of reflective marker, and muscle activation was measured with sEMG while performing double-leg landing task.
Result: There was no significant correlation between maximum knee flexion angle and muscle activation of quadriceps (p=0,562), hamstring (p=0,918), tibialis anterior (p=0,394) and gastrocnemius (p=0,419). There was also no significant correlation between maximum knee flexion angle and the muscle activation ratio of quadriceps-hamstring (p=0,347), quadriceps-tibialis (p=0,139), quadriceps-gastrocnemius (p=0,626), hamstring-tibialis anterior (p=0,365), hamstring-gastrocnemius (p=0,867), and tibialis anterior-gastrocnemius (p=0,109).
Conclusions: There was no correlation between muscle activation and muscle activation ratio of quadriceps, hamstring, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius with maximum knee flexion angle in basketball athlete while performing double-leg landing task
Dysvascular Transtibial Amputation Due To Artery Stenosis: A Case Report Study
No full textBelow-knee (BK) amputation is one of the most commonly performed actions in dysvascular cases, but rare caused by arterial stenosis. Those had significant impacts on clinical functions and affect the contralateral limb, so its need adequate supervision during rehabilitation programs. The report are to describe the stump wound healing of the patient after amputation surgery, stump preparation at pre-prosthetic phase, prevention of knee contracture, prosthetic preparation and use, gait training and evaluation of unaffected limb. A 44-years old female with right below-knee amputation caused by stenosis of right peroneal and dorsalis pedis artery, and the wound in the residual limb was not healed within 4 weeks. She got rehabilitation to accelerate stump healing and stump shaping, maintain knee flexibility, muscle strengthening, cardiovascular endurance, transfer and ambulation. She had good compliance to the programs and achieved independent ambulation using the prosthetic within 6 months. Improvement in residual limb healing within 6 weeks, pain reduction from VAS score 3 to zero, and stump shape changes from buldging to conical. And also in knee joint range of motion, transfer ability, gait pattern using BK prosthetic (by modifying shoe components), and the patient's ability to carry out ADL (BI score 75 to 100). Laser therapy, stump shaping, flexibility exercise, strengthening exercise, endurance exercise, ambulation exercise and prosthetic use on transtibial dysvascular amputation showed good results for ADL. Careful examination to the unaffected limb could identify early occurence of stenosis. Early intervention could prevent future ischaemia and amputation
Effect of boxing exergame addition on brain-derived neurotrophic factor of elderly women
No full textBackground and objectives. The elderly population is growing rapidly. The aging process will result in the decline of cognitive functions. The frequency of cognitive impairment is higher in women than in men, resulting in a greater risk of decreased quality of life and dependence. Brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor (BDNF) is part of neurotrophins that play a key role in the cognitive process. Physical exercise can improve cognitive function in the normal aging process by
triggering increased expression of neurotrophic factors such as BDNF, one type of which is exergame boxing. This study aims to analyze the effect of the exergame boxing addition on the brain-derived neurotrophic factor of elderly women. Materials and methods. The study subjects were 30 elderly women, divided into treatment and control groups. Participants in the treatment group practiced exergame boxing three times per week for eight weeks. Participants in both groups were required to participate in light intensity aerobic exercise five times a week for ±15 minutes. Serum BDNF levels were assessed before and after eight weeks of exercise. Results. There was a significant increase in serum BDNF levels after the addition of exergame boxing for eight weeks in the treatment group (p = 0.002) with an effect size of 0,62. There was no significant increase in serum BDNF levels after eight weeks of light intensity aerobic exercise in the control group (p-value = 0.480). There was a significant difference in the treatment group who received the addition of exergame boxing training for eight weeks compared to the control group who only received light intensity aerobic exercise (p = 0.038). Conclusion. The addition of boxing exergame to light intensity aerobic exercise for eight weeks can improve the BDNF serum of elderly women compared to the use of light intensity aerobic exercise alone
Pelatihan Pijat Abdomen untuk Peningkatan Pengetahuan dan Mengurangi konstipasi pada Penderita Post-stroke
No full textStroke merupakan satu dari beberapa penyakit penyebab kematian di dunia utamanya Indonesia. Selain kematian, stroke juga menimbulkan kecacatan neurologis dan beberapa komplikasi. Salah satu komplikasi yang paling sering adalah konstipasi. Penanganan konstipasi bisa dengan pemberian laksatif, namun penggunaan yang lama mengakibatkan fecal impaction dan kanker colorectal sehingga diperlukan terapi non farmakologi salah satunya adalah pijat abdomen. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah untuk melatih keluarga penderita stroke melakukan penanganan komplikasi stroke dan pijat abdomen. Metode yang dilakukan adalah pemberian materi tentang stroke dan konstipasi, pelatihan dan role play pijat abdomen serta pendampingan pada keluarga yang merawat pasien stroke di rumah. Hasil kegiatan ini adalah meningkatnya pengetahuan keluarga tentang stroke dan komplikasinya (p=0.023) dan terjadi penurunan kejadian konstipasi (p=0.021). Kegiatan ini bermanfaat bagi penderita stroke dan keluarga yang merawat stroke sehingga bisa diterapkan dalam kegiatan posyandu lansia.
Abdominal Massage Training to Improve Knowledge and Decrease Constipation in Post-Stroke
Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, particularly in Indonesia. In addition to death, stroke also causes neurological impairment and several complications. One of the most common complications is constipation. While constipation can be treated with laxatives, prolonged use can lead to fecal impaction and colorectal cancer, necessitating non-pharmacological therapies, such as abdominal massage. The purpose of this activity was to train families of stroke patients in managing stroke complications and abdominal massage. The methods used included providing educational materials on stroke and constipation, training and role-playing abdominal massage, and offering mentoring for family with stroke patient in home. The results of this activity showed an increase in family knowledge about stroke and its complications (p = 0.023) and a decrease in the incidence of constipation (p = 0.021). This activity is beneficial for stroke patients and their families, and can be implemented in elderly community health (Posyandu) activities
Eight weeks Asian squat exercise improve of static balance in sedentary male adolescent: A randomized controlled trial
No full textBackground and purpose
One of the Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS), which form the cornerstone of daily activities and sports, is balance. Sedentary adolescents exhibit worse static balance functions and adolescents do not meet the recommended FMS levels are less likely to be physically active. This will result in a vicious cycle that exacerbating the negative effects of sedentary behavior. The Asian squat is exercise to improve static balancing function without the need for specialized equipment. This study analyses how eight weeks of Asian squat training affects the static balance function of sedentary male adolescent.
Material and methods
This study is a single blind randomized controlled trial. The subjects were 30 male sedentary students divided into treatment group (n=15) and control group. Subject in treatment group received Asian squat training 3 times per week for 8 weeks. Subject in control group (n=15) continued their activities at school and at home as usual, and attended physical education lessons at school according to schedule. The single leg stance (SLS) test result measured before and after intervention on both legs with 4 components: Stable Surface Open Eyes (SSOE), Stable Surface Closed Eyes (SSCE), Foam Surface Open Eyes (FSOE), and Foam Surface Closed Eyes (FSCE).
Results
There was improvement of the results of SSOE right leg, SSCE both legs, FSOE both legs, and FSCE both legs in treatment group (p < 0.05), which was significant compared to control group at week 8 (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
Asian squat training for 8 weeks is an effective and safe exercise to improve static balance in sedentary male adolescents
Cultural validation and language translation of the scientific SCI exercise guidelines for use in Indonesia, Japan, Korea, and Thailand.
No full textCONTEXT: Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Thailand. OBJECTIVE: To culturally validate and translate the Scientific Exercise Guidelines for Adults with Spinal Cord Injury (SEG-SCI) for use in four Asian countries. DESIGN: Systematic Review. PARTICIPANTS: N/A. METHODS: A systematic review was conducted to identify all published English- and local-language studies conducted in Indonesia, Japan, Korea, and Thailand, testing the effects of exercise training interventions on fitness and cardiometabolic health in adults with acute or chronic SCI. Protocols and results from high-quality controlled studies were compared with the SEG-SCI. Forward and backward translation processes were used to translate the guidelines into Bahasa Indonesian, Japanese, Korean and Thai languages. RESULTS: Fifteen studies met the review criteria. At least one study from each country implemented exercise prescriptions that met or exceeded the SEG-SCI. Two were controlled studies. In those two studies, relative to control conditions, participants in exercise conditions achieved significant improvements in fitness or cardiometabolic health outcomes only when the exercise intervention protocol met or exceeded the SEG-SCI. During the language translation processes, end-users confirmed that SEG-SCI language and terminology were clear. CONCLUSION: Clinical researchers in Indonesia, Japan, Korea and Thailand have implemented exercise protocols that meet or exceed the SCI-SEG. Results of high-quality studies align with the SEG-SCI recommendations. Based on this evidence, we recommend that the SEG-SCI be adopted in these countries. The cultural validation and translation of the SEG-SCI is an important step towards establishing consistent SCI exercise prescriptions in research, clinical and community settings around the world
