Background : Overweight and obesity are the conditions where lumbar have to bear more load, and it will decrease its flexibility. Decrease of lumbar flexibility will affect the range of motion. Based on some literatures, mat pilates will increase the ability on lumbar flexibility, however there is no evidence effect of mat pilates in children, especially overweight and obese children. Aim : To know the effect of mat pilates on lumbar flexibility of overweight and obese children. Method :This study was pre experimental one group pre and post test design with 20 subjects based on inclusion dan exclusion criteria. Subjects did mat Pilates exercise for 12 times. Lumbar flexibility was measured by Modified Modified Schober Test for lumbal flexion and extension before intervention and after 4 weeks mat pilates exercise. Data analyzed by SPSS using Saphiro Wilk test as data’s nomalities test and Paired T test as hypothesis test. Result : The mean of MMST Flexion pre and post test after Mat Pilates have increased from 3,15±0,3118 cm to 7,63±0,4 cm. The mean of MMST extension pre and post test after Mat Pilates hav e increased from 1,415±0,21 cm to 3±0,236 cm. The means of a BMI Post test (24,89 ± 0,9 kg/m2) is higher than the mean of a BMI Pre test (24,86 ± 0,8 kg/m2).The significant result proves the effect of mat pilates in lumbar flexibility of overweight and obese children which measured by MMST Flexion and MMST Extension. The result of p value for MMST Flexion is p=0,00 and the result of p value for MMST Extension is p=0,00 which both of MMST flexion and Extension are significant or different. Conclusion : Mat pilates can increase the lumbar flexibility of overweight and obese children.Keyword: Mat Pilates, Lumbar Flexibility, overweight and obese children.
Introduction: Restrictive pulmonary disorder is reducing VO2 max values. It can be caused by lung can’t take oxygen from outside air freely. Pulmonary rehabilitation is known to increase the VO2 max. One of the pulmonary rehabilitation is deep breathing exercise. In this study aimed to know the improvementVO2 max after deep breathing exercise.Methods: This was an experimental without control pre and post-experimental study. The Six Minutes Walking Test (6MWT) was measured in patients with restrictive pulmonary disorder, after deep breathing exercise two times a day, for four weeks in May 2018.Results: Fifteen subjects were recruited, with the mean age was 70,76 ± 5,33 years old, 6MWT was 375,13 ± 44,19 m and VO2 Max 31,61±0,86 ml/kg/minute. After four weeks intervention, 6MWT value was 401±44,57 m (p=0.000) and VO2 Max score was 32,11±0,87 ml/kg/minute (p=0.000).Conclusion: Four weeks of deep breathing exercise can improve the VO2 max in restrictive lung disorder.Keywords: Deep breathing exercise, Restrictive pulmonary disorder, VO2 max.
Introduction: Pellegrini-Stieda Syndrome (PSS) is calcification of the medial collateral ligament(MCL). The manifestation are restricted motion and pain of the knee. PSS usually associated withtrauma or repeated strain.Methods: A case report of 30 year old physically active men has a severe stiffness and pain on the leftknee while walking for six months. He had neglected trauma 9 years ago. There were antalgic gait,mild swelling, warm, and tenderness on medial aspect, restricted range of motion (ROM) by pain on theleft knee; flexion 150. The knee X-Ray has shown the myositis ossificans and Pellegrini-Stieda lesion.Subject had undergone Rehabilitation Program, i.e. progressive gradual motion exercise and cryotherapyResults: There were reduced of pain, and increase the Left knee PROM were 15º restricted of extensionand 30º flexion, became 8ºrestricted of extension and 55º flexion, after one month of program.Conclusion: Pellegrini-Stieda Syndrome (PSS) is a possible complication in major knee trauma. Thepatient showed improvements in pain, and ROM after one month of rehabilitation programs.Keywords: Pellegrini-Stieda Syndrome (PSS), Range-of-Motion (ROM), Medial Collateral Ligament(MCL).
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.
