PENGARUH LATIHAN SENAM AEROBIK TERHADAP DISABILITAS AKIBAT LOW BACK PAIN PADA WANITA POSTPARTUM 17-26 MINGGU

This study purpose is to analyze the effects of aerobic exercise interventions toward low back pain for 17-26 Weeks postpartum women in Sukabumi, West Java 2014. This study was aquasi-experimental with pre and post design. The total population are 40 people from vaginal delivery and section caesarea and they are measured by Oswestry Disability Index for low back pain (ODI); the total subject for study are 25 subjects and quared of value p=0.05 (p<0.05) by dependent T test. The study showed the effect of aerobic exercise intervention toward the decrease disability of low back pain for postpartum women. It is caused by result of difference ODI score from pre (13.96±3.8) and post (4.6 ±4.36) intervention 9,36 ± 0,86 and the result value of dependent T test is p=0.00 (p<0,05). There was the effect of aerobic exercise intervention in decreasing disability of low back pain for 17-26 weeks postpartum wome

A BRIEF REVIEW IN NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN: EVALUATION AND PHYSIOTHERAPY INTERVENTION

Background: Low back pain was the most common case in musculoskeletal disorders. Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) described as low back pain with no clear causal relationship between the symptoms, physical findings, and imaging findings. This study aimed to briefly review the evidence the evaluation and intervention for NSLBP in physiotherapy practice. Methods: In this study, the library research method was used, which took online and offline data sources referring to books, journals, articles related to the topic of evaluation and physiotherapy intervention in NSLBP conditions as a data source to answer research objective Results: Some researchers commonly assess the pain, range of motion (ROM), functional ability and quality of life. As a regular treatment for non-specific low back pain, some study recommended general therapeutic exercise and manual therapy to reduce the problematic of non-specific low back pain. Conclusion: Physiotherapist can evaluate patients with NSLBP based on the patients complains like pain using VAS or NPRS, Lumbar ROM using schober method, functional disability using ODI or RMDQ and Quality of life. For the physiotherapy intervention of non-specific low back pain, we can summarize that the first-line management of NSLBP is self-management exercise. Furthermore, physiotherapist can use any method of therapeutic exercise and manual therapy to reduce pain, improve lumbar ROM, increase functional ability and quality of life

The Effects Of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation And Mckenzie Method In Non-Specific Low Back Pain Among University Population

University population consists of student and staff, where their daily activities predisposed them to prolonged sitting. Prolonged sitting has been identified as one of the factors leading to non-specific low back pain among university students and staffs. Exercise therapy is one of the mainstays in the management of non-specific low back pain. One of the most common exercise therapy for non-specific low back pain is the McKenzie method, whereas the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) exercise is seldom been used to treat non-specific low back pain cases. There were no studies being done to compare these two techniques on its effectiveness for PNF and McKenzie method on non-specific low back pain among university population. In this study, a quasi-experimental study involving 36 subjects (students and staffs) from the university population that participating based on the selection criteria set by the study protocols. The subjects were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: PNF group, McKenzie group and control group (hot pack and educational home exercise sheet) which underwent 12 treatment sessions distributed over three times in a week for four weeks duration. Subjects were measured on pain using visual analogue scale, lumbar range of motion by modified Schober method, functional ability by Oswestry disability index and health-related quality of life by SF-12. Measurement was performed at three points: pre-test, mid-test and post-test. Repeated measures ANOVA were used to analyse the study results. The withinbetween groups analysis performed to analyse the difference of the effect between of three treatments based on the measurement time. This study showed that there was significant mean difference between PNF and McKenzie method on pain score (p=0.037)and functional ability score (p=0.011) after 4 weeks. The study also showed no significant mean difference on lumbar flexion (p=0.100) and extension (p=0.127) ROM and Physical Component Summary (p=0.659) and Mental Component Summary (p=0.657) of SF-12 after 4 weeks. Subsequently, the study findings showed that the PNF exercise has more significant in reducing the pain and improving the functional disability than the McKenzie method among the university population. Furthermore, the PNF and McKenzie method showed no significant difference in improvement of lumbar ROM and health-related quality of life.

Early Stage Rehabilitation for Strain Hamstring : a Case Report

The purpose of the study. This study's purpose is to report on the early stage physiotherapists' intervention on patients with hamstring strains as recommended in the early stage management of sports injuries. Materials and methods. This study is a case report from of a patient who has a hamstring strain with complaints of pain and decreased range of motion of the knee joint. Physiotherapists provide ultrasonic therapy with isometric contraction exercises on the hamstring muscles for 4 sessions for 2 weeks. Results. Ultrasound therapy and isometric contraction exercises increased the range of motion of the knee joint by 60% (active) and 50% (passive). Pain reduction also occurred by 83% for active motion pain and 80% for passive motion pain. Conclusions. The physiotherapy interventions with ultrasonic therapy and isometric contraction exercise therapy is in accordance with the early stage rehabilitation for the case of hamstring strains. With the interventions, the patient experienced a decrease in pain and an increase in Range of Motion from the knee joint. Keywords: Strain; Hamstring; Physiotherapy; Case Repor

Sports Rehabilitation Phases: A Literature Review

Physiotherapists must have precise and accurate clinical decisions when dealing with an injured athlete because they must return to their sport activities as their job. The selection of the right intervention in the sports rehabilitation phase will certainly give good results to the athlete. This study aims to serve as a general guideline for the stages of exercise rehabilitation carried out by physiotherapists with the selection of appropriate physiotherapy interventions. Methods: This study is a literature review study that took sources from online and offline literature. The literaturein form of books and journal articles that discuss the sport rehabilitation phase. Results: From the search results, there are not many books and articles that specifically stated that there are phases in sports injury rehabilitation. Some sources are still more specific in a case or only show interventions that can be an option in the application of sports injury management regardless of phase. However, there is also some literature, mostly books, showing the application of progressive programs in sports injury rehabilitation in four phases. Conclusion: In conclusion, the phase of sport rehabilitation carried out by a physiotherapist must have a clear stage based on the examination and the needs of the athlete. Typical sports rehabilitation phases are phases one to four with a focus on reducing pain in phase 1, increasing flexibility in phase 2, returning and increasing strength, endurance, agility, balance and proprioception in phase 3 and returning to sports in phase 4.
