ABSTRAK<br />Autis merupakan suatu kondisi di mana anak menunjukkan gejala gangguan kompleks, salah satunya adalah gangguan motorik halus. Anak autis memiliki kecakapan motorik yang rendah sehingga kesulitan menyelesaikan tugas yang koordinasi motorik dan keterampilan gerak yang kompleks. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pemberian kombinasi senam otak dan aktivitas fungsional rekreasi (AFR) dapat meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus pada anak autis di Yayasan Mentari Fajar, Jimbaran. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental dengan rancangan One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Sampel dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 16 orang yang telah diukur sebelumnya menggunakan tes kemampuan motorik halus untuk mendapatkan data pretest. Intervensi dilakukan selama 24 kali pertemuan. Setelah itu kembali sampel diukur menggunakan parameter yang sama untuk mendapatkan data posttest. Selanjutnya data pretest dan posttest diuji beda menggunakan uji t berpasangan untuk mengetahui ada atau tidaknya pengaruh. Data dalam penelitian ini dianalisis secara statistik menggunakan uji t berpasangan dengan rata-rata yang didapat sebelum pemberian kombinasi senam otak dan AFR (pretest) adalah 54,00 dan untuk rata-rata sesudah pemberian kombinasi senam otak dan AFR (posttest) adalah 58,94. Uji hipotesis berdasarkan hasil uji t berpasangan diperoleh nilai p = 0,001 (p &lt; 0,05). Hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa pemberian kombinasi senam otak dan AFR dapat meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus anak autis di Yayasan Mentari Fajar, Jimbaran.<br />Kata Kunci : Autis, Senam Otak, Aktivitas Fungsional Rekreasi (AFR)<br />ABSTRACT<br />Autism is a condition in which a child exhibits some complex syndrome, one of which is a fine motor development delay.

AbstractPreschool children are they who aged 3-6 years, and at that age they have enormous potential to optimize aspects of their development, including the development of fine motor skills. children need to be trained for fine motor skills from an early age because children's hand skills are a window of knowledge, one way to improve fine motor development in preschool children is by finger painting. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of finger painting activities to improve fine motor development in preschool children based on a literature review. The design of this study was a literature review of three articles from Google Scholar with keywords including finger painting, fine motor development, preschoolers, Denver II (Developmental Screening Test) and full text articles published at least in the last 5 years. The sample in this study is children aged 3-6 years. The results of the analysis of the characteristics of the respondents in the three articles were a total of 70 respondents. The average value of the increase in fine motor development before the intervention was 2.89 and after it were 4.39. The conclusion from this literature review is that finger painting activities are effective in increasing fine motor development in preschool children. It is suggested for the nurse to be able to implement and provide education especially for parents to do finger painting activities as an intervention to improve fine motor development in preschool children.Keywords: Preschool children; denver II; Finger Painting; Fine motor development AbstrakAnak prasekolah adalah anak yang berusia 3-6 tahun, anak yang sudah memasuki usia tersebut mempunyai potensi yang sangat besar untuk mengoptimalkan aspek perkembangannya, termasuk perkembangan ketrampilan motorik halus.

The first five years of a children’s age is the period of rapid growth with physical and motor development. Those process will develop well if stimulated continuously. Early childhood always identic with high activity requires the opportunity to express their abilities. Therefore playing method is very urgent inchildren’s gross motor skills and fine motor skills development through a variety of playing activities both indoors and outdoors. Playing is an activity that cannot be separated from early childhood’s world. All playing activities will be carried out happily. By the same token learning by playing will be done happily without any sense of being forced or oppressed.

Abstract Background/Aims  There is currently no consensus regarding sex-related differences in pain intensity and functional abilities among patients with hand osteoarthritis (OA). In this study we determine sex-related differences in pain intensity and functional ability among patients with hand OA, as assessed by a self-report questionnaire and by performance-based tests. Methods  Using the AUSCAN tool for symptom and functional assessment of hand OA with dynamometry we prospectively accessed patients meeting the ACR criteria for hand osteoarthritis. Using this analysis, assessments of pain and function were compared in male and female patients. The outcome measures included self-reported pain measures, functional assessment and dynamometry measures. Results  The study population included 106 patients (90 females and 16 males) with a mean age of males 48.44 (7.48) and females 52.67 (9.43). All patients with symptomatic hand osteoarthritis meeting ACR Criteria. When accessing difference between sexes, men were found to be significantly heavier (p = 0.003) and have greater grip and pinch strength.As part of function and pain assessments there was a significant correlation between difficulty with fine motor skills such as difficulty doing buttons, difficulty when doing jewellery, or peeling vegetables associated with pain when turning objects e.g. doorknobs, taps and faucets for men in comparison to women. Difficulty in these fine motor skills also correlated with stiffness on wakening and pain on lifting heavy objects regardless of sex. A Mann-Whitney U test was run on 106 participants to determine if there were differences in pain or functional scores between males and females. This reviled Median score for males () and females () was statistically significantly different,There were sex differences noted in the correlation associated with pain with rotational movements e.g. turning objects and functional difficulty with fine motor movements including difficulty when doing up buttons ( Males r(14) = -0.109, p = 0.698, Females r(88) =0.489, p = &lt;0.01 value.= ), difficulty when doing jewellery ( Males r(14) =-0.265, p = 0.339.= Females r(88) = 0.570, p = &lt;0.01) , difficulty peeling vegetables ( Males r(14) = -0.207, p = 0.458 Females r(88) = 0.519, &lt;0.01 ) Conclusion  The results demonstrate the presence of sex differences in patients suffering from hand osteoarthritis self-reported functional ability and pain scales. These differences indicate the need for further studies to explore the mechanisms of hand OA and to understanding the specific impact of gender on the development and progression of disease. With further understanding we can obtain the proper strategy to provide better individualised treatment. It also highlights that rehabilitation programs should consider these differences and each patients’ performance limitations in order to address the specific needs of each individual patient. In doing so, improved pain and functional status will improve morbidity in hand OA Disclosure  B. Dinneen: None. D. Heath: None. M. Ghaffar: None. M. O'Sullivan: None. C. Silke: None. B.
