Active Range Of Motion

<p>Musculoskeletal system disorders of weakness in the muscles of the elderly are common. Actions that can be taken to reduce complaints of the elderly are with range of motion (ROM) exercises. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of active range of motion (ROM) exercises on increasing the strength of lower limb muscles in the elderly. Pre-experimental research design with one group pre-test and post-test. By means of purposive sampling with 6 respondents. Giving intervention as much as 6 times exercise for 3 weeks with a frequency of 2 times a day . It takes 10 minutes with 3 repetitions of movements. Analysis was performed by paired dependent T-test samples. The results showed that the average lower limb muscle strength in the elderly before active ROM exercises were the hip region = 3.03317, the knee region = 3.44433, the ankle region = 3.24300, the toe region = 3.31950. While the average lower limb muscle strength after active ROM exercises are the hip region = 3.22117, knee region = 3.76367, ankle region = 3.51383, toe area = 3.86800, with hip value p = 0.028, knee p = 0.002, ankle p = 0.002, toe p = 0,000. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that there is an effect of active range of motion (ROM) exercises on increasing muscle strength in the elderly. This research is expected to be a consideration for the elderly orphanages in order to make the range of motion (ROM) as an exercise program to increase muscle strength in the elderly.</p>

This study examined the characteristics of lower limb muscle activity in elderly persons after ergometric pedaling exercise for 1 month. To determine the effect of the exercise, surface electromyography (SEMG) of lower limb muscles was subjected to Daubechies-4 wavelet transformation, and mean wavelet coefficients were compared with the pre-exercise coefficients and the post-exercise coefficients in each wavelet level. The characteristics of muscle activity after pedaling exercise were also compared between the elderly subjects and young subjects. For the elderly subjects, the mean wavelet coefficients were significantly decreased in the tibialis anterior and the gastrocnemius medialis at wavelet levels of 3, 4, and 5 (125–62.5, 62.5–31.25, and 31.25–15.625 Hz, respectively), by pedaling exercise. However, the mean power of wavelet levels of 2 and 3 (250–125 and 125–62.5 Hz) within the rectus femoris and the biceps femoris were significantly increased in the young subjects. The effect of pedaling exercise is different from the effects of heavy-resistance training. It was suggested that the muscle coordination, motor unit (MU) firing frequency, and firing fiber type of lower limb muscles are changed with the different characteristics between elderly and young persons by pedaling exercise for 1 month.

Indonesia enters the ageing population because of increasing elderly population. The large number of ederly population can have negative impact if they have some problems, such as increased disability and increased rates of life dependence. Based on health research, it was mentioned that the cause of the most injuries to the elderly group is falls that are caused by balance disorder. Balance problems can be caused by changes of musculoskeletal function. In addition, Body Mass Index (BMI) is still a problem that often occurs in the elderly that can affect daily activities. The objective of this study was to prove that lower limb muscle strength and BMI have correlation with body balance in the elderly. This study used a cross-sectional method carried out on individuals from affordable populations with Kendall Tau C data analysis. Thirty-nine respondents were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were taken from these respondents on weight and height measurement for BMI, size of lower limb muscle strength using a leg dynamometer, and body balance based on risk of falls using Berg’s balance scale. We obtained significant score 0,000 for correlation between lower limb muscle strength with body balance in elderly, and correlation between BMI with body balance in elderly. In conclusion, there is strong positive correlation between lower limb muscle strength with body balance in elderly. It is shown by the better muscle strength; the risk of falling in the elderly is getting lower. There is strong positive correlation between BMI with body balance in elderly. It is shown by increasing BMI away from normal scale; the risk of falling is higher.

Introduction: Declines of static postural balance and muscle strength, especially of lower limbs are strong predictors of falls in the elderly. Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the possible correlation between static postural balance, falls and isokinetic torque peak of knee extensors and flexors in the elderly. Methods: A cross-sectional study with anthropometric evaluation of static postural balance in unipodal limb support was performed using the force platform, flexural strength test and knee extension of the dominant limb using the isokinetic dynamometer and the application of a structured questionnaire on falls. They agreed to participate in the study 106 volunteers of both sexes through the signing of the free and informed consent. The data were treated in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program version 20.0. Results: There was a weak positive correlation between center of pressure (COP) area and peak flexion torque (r=0.204, p=0.041) and extension (r=0.228; p=0.022) of the knee, as well as peak extension (r=0.319, p=0.001) and lateral mean (r=0.324, p=0.001). A moderate positive correlation between COP area and anteroposterior velocity (r=0.694, p=0.000) and lateral mean (r = 0.646; p = 0.000) and strong positive correlation was found only between peak flexion torque and knee extension (r=0.719, p=0.000). Conclusion: There was a weak correlation between static postural balance and dominant lower limb muscle strength, and there was no correlation between falls and lower limb muscle strength, or between falls and static postural balance in the studied sample.

Abstract: This study aimed to reveal an overview of muscle strength and joint flexibility of the upper and lower limbs of the students of SMKN 3 Manado. This was a simple descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. In this study, muscle strength of the right and left hands  was measured by using a grip strength dynamometer and of the limb muscles by using a leg dynamometer. Respondents who met the inclusion criteria were 53 people composed of 22 males and 31 females. The results showed that the upper and lower limb muscle strength were lower than normal, and none were categorized as good muscle strength. Flexibility of lower limb joints generally had a normal range of motion (ROM) value. Conclusion: Most students of SMKN 3 Manado had very low upper and lower limb muscle strength. The evaluation of lower limb joint flexibility showed normal ROM value. Keywords: muscle strength,joints flexibility.     Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kekuatan otot dan fleksibilitas sendi ekstremitas atas dan bawah pada pelajar SMKN 3 Manado.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Sarcopenia is the main factor involved in the development of frailty syndrome. The aims here were to investigate relationships between lower-limb muscle strength and the variables of sex, age and frailty criteria; compare lower-limb muscle strength with each frailty criterion; and assess the power of each criterion for estimating the risk of frailty among elderly outpatients. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study at the Geriatrics Outpatient Clinic of a university hospital in Campinas. METHOD: A non-probabilistic convenience sample of 150 elderly people of both sexes who were followed up as outpatients was assessed. Sociodemographic data (sex and age) and physical health data (frailty criteria and the five-times sit-to-stand test) were gathered. Descriptive, comparative and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. RESULTS: The majority of the elderly people (77.3%) were 70 years of age or over, with predominance of females (64.2%) and had a low score for the five-times sit-to-stand test (81.4% scored 0 or 1); 55.3% of the elderly people presented three or more frailty criteria. A significant association was found between lower-limb muscle strength and the variables of age and number of frailty criteria. CONCLUSIONS: Lower levels of lower-limb muscle strength were associated with advanced age and greater presence of signs of frailty. Moreover, lower-limb muscle strength was also associated with the criteria of reduced walking speed criteria and hand-grip strength.
