No Different Acute Effect Of Passive And Active Stretching On Hamstring Flexibility In Elderly Women

Marti Rustanti — Wed, 21 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Background: The flexibility of the hamstring muscle contributes significantly to movement and the risk of injury. Decreased hamstring flexibility increases the risk in older women with age. Stretching is the most common form of intervention to overcome this problem, but the most appropriate form of stretching for older women still requires further research.

Methods: The study included 2 groups, where Group I received passive stretching treatment on the hamstring muscles while Group II received active stretching treatment on the same muscles. The subjects of this study were elderly women members of the Posyandu Elders from Tohudan Village, Colomadu District, Karanganyar Regency.

Results: The results showed that there was a decrease in hamstring flexibility in older women. Passive stretching treatment has an effect on increasing hamstring muscle flexibility (p = 0.00). There was an effect of active stretching on increasing hamstring muscle flexibility (p = 0.03). There was no difference in the effect between passive stretching and active stretching on increasing hamstring muscle flexibility (p = 0.837).

Conclusion: Passive stretching treatment has an effect on increasing hamstring muscle flexibility (p = 0.00). There was an effect of active stretching on increasing hamstring muscle flexibility (p = 0.03). There was no difference in the effect between passive stretching and active stretching on increasing hamstring muscle flexibility (p = 0.837). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that providing passive stretching and active stretching can both increase hamstring muscle flexibility in older women.

Identifying Provinces With RMNCH-IC Disparities Between Urban - Rural Residences In Indonesia

Manca Satria, Rani Nooraeni — Wed, 21 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Intervention coverage in reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH-IC) is still unequal between urban and rural residences. This inequality is considered to also occur in Indonesia. The Composite Coverage Index (CCI) measures RMNCH-IC. However, CCI measurements at provincial levels according to residences are not yet available in Indonesia due to the limited sample size at some CCI indicators. Therefore, provinces with a large RMNCH-IC inequality, or disparity, between residences have not been identified. Thus, this study aims to measure CCI as a whole at provincial levels according to residences in Indonesia through the estimation of CCI indicators using MRP, to be used to identify provinces with CCI disparities between residences.

Methods: Small Area Estimation (SAE), especially Multilevel Regression and Poststratification (MRP) models, can be used to estimate parameters for each province according to residences with limited samples. The secondary data used in this study come from the latest survey, the 2017 Indonesian Health Demographic Survey (IDHS).

Results: Based on the value of the CCI dimension, urban residences have better dimensions of maternal and newborn health, while rural residences have better dimensions of reproductive and child health. There are 5 provinces with RMNCH-IC disparities between residences in Indonesia.

Conclusion: Efforts to reduce CCI inequalities are still needed for each residence in their respective dimension, especially for provinces with RMNCH-IC disparities. Further research is needed to explain the determinants of the large disparities between the five provinces.

Effects Of Lower Limb Neurodynamic In Short Hamstring Syndrome

Thu, 22 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Injury to the hamstring muscle is a very common site of injury in general sports or work-related physical activity. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the addition of lower limb neurodynamics to the intervention of ultrasound therapy and stretching in short hamstring syndrome.

Methods: This study is a Randomized Controlled Trial with a Pre-Test and Post-Test Group Design. The number of subjects in this study was 30 respondents, who were divided into 2 groups, namely the control group (n = 15) and the treatment group (n = 15). In the control group, subjects received a combination of ultrasound therapy and stretching. In the treatment group, subjects received a combination of ultrasound therapy, stretching, and lower limb neurodynamics. The intervention was carried out three times a week for four weeks (12 sessions). The length of the hamstring muscles is measured by straight leg raise (SLR) range of motion (ROM) and passive knee extension (PKE) ROM using a goniometer.

Results: The results of statistical analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups in the difference between the SLR ROM and PKE ROM before and after the intervention measured using a goniometer (p = 0.000).

Conclusion: The addition of lower limb neurodynamics in the combination of ultrasound therapy and stretching intervention is proven to increase SLR ROM and PKE ROM in cases of the short hamstring. Lower limb neurodynamics could be used in clinical practice as an alternative to improving short hamstring syndrome.

Nadila Putri Pramesti, Harun Harun, Rizka Rizka — Fri, 01 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Background: Worker plantation prone to to risk safety And health high work , however implementation protection law Still become challenge . Limitations regulation , lack awareness And knowledge , capacity weak , as well lack of monitoring And enforcement law become factor main obstacle protection law for worker plantation . Study about implementation protection law safety and health work on worker plantation need done for evaluate challenge And existing problem as well as look for right solution for increase protection worker plantation. Aim of this study is to describe implementation protection law safety and health work (KS) on worker plantation sector.

Methods: A systematic review , with use article And book as source reference . Election source References done through machine Google search with criteria inclusion form article from journal national accredited Sinta And journal international Scopus accredited or non-Scopus issued No more from year 2020. Analysis done in a manner systematic with consider methodology research, findings main, and conclusion from every included research in study.

Results: Implementation protection K3 law in plantations important For well-being worker . Required awareness , training, supervision, and enforcement firm law. Protection child laborer still minimal, necessary effort intensive . Expansion of the OSH program, increase of human resources, and repair system information required . Evaluation And repair sustainable important. The hope, effective implementation can upgrade condition work on the plantationour articles were found in this research article.

Conclusion: Implementation K3 law in the sector plantation important For guard safety worker. Needed awareness, training, supervision , and enforcement firm law . Protection child laborer Still need improved . Expansion of the OSH program, increase of human resources, and repair system information required . Evaluation And repair sustainable important. Expected condition work in the sector plantation can getting better with effective implementation.
