: Risk factors, Low Back Pain, Prosthetics and Orthotics Students of Health Polytechnic of Surakarta. Low Back Pain (LBP) or lower back pain is a common health problem that found in many people, not only in older people but also in younger nowadays. Low Back Pain associated with many kind of conditions and also risk factors. The etiology of LBP is widely accepted to be multi-factorial. The objectives of this study were to determine the risk factors causing LBP on Prosthetics and Orthotics students of Health Polytechnic of Surakarta. The study is cross sectional design used a questionnaire instrument to all Prosthetics and Orthotics students. Data analysis was performed by Chi square. The results showed that the prevalence of LBP after being Prosthetics and Orthotics students of Health Polytechnic of Surakarta is 32,2%. Risk factors associated with Low Back Pain were exercise (p value 0,033), daily time spend standing (p value 0,046), lifting (p value 0,027) and perceived stress (p value 0,008). Gender, body mass index and daily time spend sitting were not associate with Low Back Pain.
Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) provides evidence that there are hundreds of millions of people affected by life due to musculoskeletal disorders. Musculoskeletal disorders that are often found are flat foot or commonly called flat foot. In the treatment of flat foot, prosthetic orthotics can provide orthosis services in the form of medial arch support with sponge and plastic material, which aims to provide support to the plantaris area of the foot and restore the shape of the arch to the foot. Method: This type of research is Quasi Experiment with two groups design Pre Test and Post Test Design. The population in this study included students of grades 2-6 at SDN Gagaksipat 1, Ngemplak, Boyolali, Central Java. The number of samples is 28 students. Data collection techniques using the wetfootprint pre test and post test. Results : There is an effect of using medial arch support on the reduction of flatfoot degrees. These results can be seen from the results of Wilcoxon test, which is known below the p value = 0,000. Then if the value of p <0.05. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is an effect of medial use arh support for decreasing flatfoot degrees in children aged 8-12 years. From the results of the study it was found that there were 28 research samples that experienced a decrease in the degree of flatfoot.
South Sumatra Province is one of the areas in Indonesia which tipped to be prone to the impact of climate change and very vulnerable due to its low-land areas that it may threat coastal, water, agriculture, and health sectors of the province. In Banyuasin District, the current program has been planned deep sea port development in Tanjung Api-api area. Coastal flood hazard components caused by a combination of sea level rise, storms, and La-Nina phenomena on maximum tide. In this study measured tidal hazards due to sea level rise. Risk area generated by layering hazard and vulnerability maps using GIS methods. The results of the risk assessment shows increase risk in the water availability at high risk level with percentage area 38.87% and 46.02% at baseline conditions and projections. Adaptation efforts conducted to overcome the conditions mentioned above is by controlling the arrangement, the addition of retention ponds as a water storage and flood prevention efforts and also maintaining an area of green open space area above 30%. One of the priorities recommended program is a program of development and the development of sanitation where mitigation / adaptation recommended by increasing the efficiency of use of raw water, saving water resource utilization, and environmental sanitation. The results of this study need to be integrated / mainstreamed into development policies and plans regional / local so helpful to the development of a better way to identify the agenda on national plans, provincial and local levels are associated with adaptation to climate change.
