Abstract Introduction Engaging pediatric burn survivors in necessary range of motion exercises can be challenging. For younger children, difficulty understanding the reasoning behind prescribed exercises, fear and anxiety can all lead to refusal to participate. Traditional rote range of motion exercises do not engage the child’s sense of curiosity and adventure and seem more like medicine than play. We have developed a range of motion exercise program based on well-known superhero actions. For children who need to address active wrist extension and digit extension, they become “Iron Man” (Example included), “Hulk Smash” lets us work on grip and active composite flexion while becoming “Spiderman” encourages digit isolation. “Superman”, “Wonder Woman” and “Batman” allow utilization of total body movements but can be focus on shoulder flexion or abduction and cross body movements. Methods Traditional superhero movements were assessed to determine similarity to traditional therapy exercises. Exercises were drawn with the extremities performing the desired movements. Pediatric patients are introduced to these exercises and encouraged to act out the superhero movements with therapist directing the desired end range and directionality of movements. Results These characters are well known and loved by pediatric patients. In many instances, a fearful patient may become an active therapy participant through these engaging activities. Goal attainment becomes more fun and less when children are engaged in a purposeful play task. Caregivers can carry these exercises well beyond the therapy session to encourage day long exercise which is essential for contracture prevention and remediation. A recent feedback comment from the parent of a 4-year-old burn survivor specifically focused on these exercises. “Absolutely phenomenal. The therapist did “superhero” moves with my son and got him to open and close his hands. I was so relieved that the movement was normal” Conclusions Modifying instruction methods to include familiar and fun techniques can increase therapy participation and can decrease the fear experienced by young burn survivors when faced with moving an injured extremity.

Background: Elderly is the final stage of the human life cycle, that is part of the inevitable life process and will be experienced by every individual. At this stage the individual undergoes many changes both physically and mentally, especially setbacks in various functions and abilities he once had. Preliminary study in Social House Tresna Wreda Yogyakarta Budhi Luhur Units there are 16 elderly who experience physical immobilization. In the social house has done various activities for the elderly are still active, but the elderly who experienced muscle weakness is not able to follow the exercise, so it needs to do ROM (Range Of Motion) exercise.   Objective: The general purpose of this research is to know the effect of Range Of Motion (ROM) Active Assitif training to increase the range of motion of joints in elderly who experience physical immobility at Social House of Tresna Werdha Yogyakarta unit Budhi Luhur.   Methode: This study was included in the type of pre-experiment, using the One Group Pretest Posttest design in which the range of motion of the joints before (pretest) and posttest (ROM) was performed  ROM. Subjects in this study were all elderly with impaired physical mobility in Social House Tresna Wreda Yogyakarta Unit Budhi Luhur a number of 14 elderly people. Data analysis in this research use paired sample t-test statistic  Result: The result of this research shows that there is influence of ROM (Range of Motion) Active training to increase of range of motion of joints in elderly who experience physical immobility at Social House Tresna Wredha Yogyakarta Unit Budhi Luhur.  Conclusion: There is influence of ROM (Range of Motion) Active training to increase of range of motion of joints in elderly who experience physical immobility at Social House Tresna Wredha Yogyakarta Unit Budhi Luhur.

Abstract Background Mechanical low back pain (MLBP) is a major cause of illness and disability, especially in people of working age. People with chronic low back pain often experience anger, fear, anxiety, decrease in physical ability, and inadequacy of role fulfillment. Objective This study aimed to compare the efficacy of extension exercise program versus muscle energy technique in treating patients with chronic mechanical low back pain. Subjects and methods Forty patients complaining of chronic mechanical low back pain participated in the study. Patients were randomly allocated into two equal groups: group A which received spinal extension exercise program and group B which received muscle energy technique. Treatment sessions were given three times per week for four successive weeks. Patients were assessed before and after treatment using visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and digital goniometer to assess pain intensity, functional disability, and range of motion (ROM) of lumbar spine respectively. Results There was significant decrease in the scores of pain and functional disability in both groups post-treatment especially in group B. There was significant increase in lumbar range of motion in both groups post-treatment, especially in group A. Conclusion Extension exercise program had better effect on improving lumbar range of motion, whereas muscle energy technique was better in decreasing pain and functional disability in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain.
