Background : Osteoarthritis is an abnormality on cartilage ( cartilage ) are characterized by changes in clinical , histological and radiological . This disease is asymmetrical , not inflamed and no components systematically Methods : the methods in the management of this case, using Microwave Diathermy (MWD),Transcutaneus Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), exercise therapy. manually muscle strength (MMT), measuring of the range of motion goneometer, ability of ADL Jette Scale. Objectives :above methods to understand the benefits of MWD, TENS and exercise therapy in reducing pain,increasing range of motions, increasing muscle strength, and increasing of ability ADL. Results :after had given physiotherapy 6 times the results obstained : decreased of pain, increased range of motions, increased muscle strength and then increased ability of functional activity. Conclusion : MWD, TENScan reduce pain in that case. Exercise therapy can increases range of motions, muscle strength, and ability of functional activity. Key words: Osteoarthritis, Microwave Diathermy, Transcutaneus Electrical Nerve Stimulation, exercise therapy

Pengaruh Core Strengthening Exercise Terhadap Keseimbangan Statis Anak Usia 5-6 Tahun

Background: Static balance refers to the ability of the body to maintain equilibrium in a stationary position. Balance is needed to control the basic motor skills of children, especially for children aged 5-6 years to maximize its development phase to move up the next development phase. One of exercise that can be used to improve the balance of children aged 5-6 years is core strengthening exercise. Objective: To determine the effect of core strengthening exercise to static balance children age 5 to 6 year olds. Methods: The study was a quasi experiment with pre and post test with control group desaign, sample in the treatment group was given 4 weeks of core strengthening exercise with a frequency of 3 times a week, with a total sample of 60 children aged 5-6 years. Measurements using a pediatric reach static balance test. Data were analyzed using Paired Samples t-test to test the effect and Independent Sample t-test to test different effect. Results: There is a core strengthening exercise influence on the static balance after the performed statistical tests using paired sample t-test p-value obtained sitting and standing position 0,000 in the treatment group and 0,003 sitting position, standing 0,002 in the control group. Conclusion: There was effect core strengthening exercise for static balance children age 5-6 year olds. Keyword: Core Strengthening Exercise, Static Balance, Children Age 5-6 Year Olds
