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.
Background: According to The World Health Organization (WHO), in the Southeast Asia the Elderly population is 8% or around 142 million people. Feet function for shock absorber, Generally there are three types of foot structure, namely neutral or normal, flat foot, and cavus foot. The cavus foot will improve performance on the musculoskeletal structure to maintain postural stability and balance due to midfoothypomobile. As a result, cavus foot cannot distribute body weight evenly along the metatarsal heads and the lateral side of the foot, lowering the sensory plantar input and significantly the pressure on the foot is greater than the other foot postures. Method: The research design used was quasy experiment with cross sectional design. dynamic balance measurement with TUG test The study was conducted in April - July 2018 at the Posyandu at the elderly Klodran, Colomadu, Karanganyar. with a sample of 20 elderly. data collection using the wetfootprint pre test and post test with medial arch support. Results: the results of p value 0,000 <0,05 so that there is a difference in the dynamic balance in the elderly before and after being given Medial arch support. can also see from the mean acquisition value of the elderly before using the medial arch support of 13.7 while after using the medial arch support the mean gain of 13.2.Conclusion: the results of a study of 20 elderly people showed that dynamic balance in the legs of pes cavus in the elderly (elderly). before using the medial arch support higher than the dynamic balance at the foot of pes cavus in the elderly (elderly)
Spinal health is very important for carrying out daily activities. The functional abilities of the spine can experience problems both in adolescents and in adults to the elderly. However, the decrease in functional ability increases with age and often occurs in the elderly. Empowerment of cadres can be one of the solutions in preventing this functional decline. In this community service, empowerment of health cadres will be carried out, namely education and prevention in improving the functional abilities of the spine. In addition, they also received training on how to carry out simple detection of spinal diseases in the elderly. The education provided includes providing knowledge about spinal activities that are not too burdensome to the functional spine. In addition, through regular sports activities by providing stretching in the spinal area to improve spinal function. Thus, community service activities are expected to be used as a means of developing and applying direct knowledge to the community by lecturers.Written in English with a distance between sentences of 1 space and the number of words between 150-250. The abstract should contain introductions, methods, results and discussions and conclusions (without citation). Avoid using citations in the abstract.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
