Karakteristik gangguan kesehatan yang disebabkan oleh aktivitas mengetik dengan komputer cenderung pada cidera tingkat rendah yang muncul seiring waktu akibat sikap kerja yang salah, lama dan berulang, salah satunya adalah Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) otot upper trapezius dengan gejala utama nyeri tekan dan terdapat nodul pada otot. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan sikap kerja saat mengetik  terhadap MPS otot upper trapezius pada pekerja kantor di Denpasar. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian observasional analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional yang dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret 2018. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik purposive sampling dengan sampel berjumlah 53 orang. Pengukuran MPS otot upper trapezius dilakukan dengan pemeriksaan fisioterapi. Pengukuran sikap kerja saat mengetik dengan metode Rapid Upper Limb Assesment (RULA). Uji hipotesis yang digunakan adalah Chi Square Test untuk menganalisis signifikansi hubungan antara sikap kerja saat mengetik dengan MPS otot upper trapezius. Pada perhitungan analisis data, diperoleh nilai p sebesar 0,000 sehingga p < 0,05. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara sikap kerja saat mengetik terhadap MPS otot upper trapezius pada pekerja kantor di Denpasar. Kata Kunci: Sikap kerja mengetik, myofascial pain syndrome upper trapezius

Penjahit merupakan salah satu pekerjaan yang banyak ditekuni oleh masyarakat Bali. Namun, penjahit jarang memperhatikan postur kerja saat menjahit. Hal ini dapat dapat menyebabkan myofascial pain syndrome otot upper trapezius jika dilakukan dalam jangka waktu lama. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan postur kerja saat menjahit dengan terjadinya myofascial pain syndrome otot upper trapezius pada penjahit di Kecak Garmen. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik dengan rancangan cross- sectional. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik Simple Random Sampling. Jumlah sampel penelitian ini sebanyak 70 orang. Data dianalisis menggunakan Chi-Square Test dan memiliki hubungan signifikansi dengan nilai p sebesar 0,000 (p<0,05). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan postur kerja saat menjahit dengan terjadinya myofascial pain syndrome otot upper trapezius pada penjahit di Kecak Garmen.

The Relationship

Introduction: The obesity on the myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) was reduced the pain thresholds, leads todecreasing of physical functioning and quality of life. The obese group was more sensitive to pain due to the proinflammatorycondition. This study aimed to examined the relationship between the Body Mass Index (BMI)and the pain threshold in MPS patients.Methods and Materials: This study was a cross-sectional study, conducted in an outpatient clinic of MedicalRehabilitation Department of Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta. The subjects recruited consecutively.The pain intensity was assessed subjectively by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score from 0 to 10. Thenumber of the trigger points (TP) were examined palpation manually. The pain threshold was evaluated by thealgometer (Kg) on the upper trapezius muscles.Results: The study has recruited 30 patients, aged 40,5 (20-54). The BMI was 24.97 ± 3.39 Kg/M2. The VASscore was 6 (5-8). The number of the TP was 5.83 ± 1.74. The pain threshold was 2.48 ± 0.52 Kg/ cm2. Most ofthe subjects have overweight (20%) and obesity (47%). There was no correlation between the BMI with the painintensity (r=-0.076, p=0.689), with the number of trigger points (r=0.256, p=0.171) and with the pain threshold(r=0.189, p=0.316).Conclusions: Therefore the BMI was not related to the pain intensity, the number of trigger points as wellas with the threshold of pain in the MPS patients. However, the number of the TP tends to increase, and thethreshold of pain has the tendency to reduced in the obese subjects.Keywords: Obesity; Myofascial Pain Syndrome; VAS; Pain Threshold

AbstractPresently, there is no clear consensus on the essential and confirmatory criteria which should govern the application of dry needling (DN) in the treatment of myofascial trigger points. The aim of this study was to generate a consensus on these criteria, via a panel discussion with DN experts which took place at the International Conference of Invasive Physical Therapy held in 2018, including the opinion of the attendees who participated in a live survey on the subject at the conference via an app. The results obtained reveal discrepancies regarding confirmatory criteria such as the elicitation of referred pain; nonetheless, consensus exists on the suitability of the application of individualized and personalized DN treatment and the combination of treatment with other intervention approaches in physical therapy, with the use of ultrasound when required to support a safer clinical practice.

Context:Previous studies showed improved dynamic-balance (DB) performance after core-stability (CS) exercises in populations with chronic low back pain. Although clinical massage plus exercise is likely to better enhance analgesia than exercise alone, its efficacy on balance remains unclear.Objective:To evaluate the immediate effects of CS exercises plus myofascial trigger-point (MTrP) therapy in comparison with CS exercises alone on DB performance, pressure-pain threshold (PPT), and cross-sectional area of active MTrPs in patients with clinical instability of the lumbar spine and chronic myofascial pain syndrome.Design:Randomized, assessor-blind, test–retest.Setting:University research laboratory.Patients:10 physically active adults (5 men, 5 women).Main Outcome Measures:Single-leg DB performance and side-to-side ratios in 2 planes of motion (frontal, sagittal), as well as PPT and cross-sectional area of active MTrPs, were measured using stabilometry, pressure algometry, and real-time ultrasound scanning, respectively.Interventions:The 1st group performed CS exercises alone, whereas the same exercise program was applied in the 2nd group plus cross-fiber friction on active MTrPs (3.5 min/MTrP).Results:Within-group statistically and clinically significant differences were observed only for group II in PPT. However, group I also exhibited a large effect size with clinically significant changes from baseline on this outcome. Furthermore, patients in group II clinically improved their balance ratios and differed from group I at posttest in sagittal-plane DB performance of the painful side.Conclusion:CS exercises immediately increase the PPT of active MTrPs in physically active adults with clinical instability of the lumbar spine and chronic myofascial pain syndrome. When MTrP therapy is added, side-to-side asymmetries in DB are minimized.
