Documentation and research are two essential factors for the growth of any profession and, therefore, have priority in occupational therapy. Documentation is the key to the communication of the clinical services rendered by the occupational therapist to clients and to other members of the professional team (Gillette 1982, Ottenbacher and York 1984). Single-system research, sometimes referred to as single-subject research, is a quantitative research method. In single-system research, the efficacy of a certain intervention can be evaluated in a systematic way by studying one subject in a single setting (Ottenbacher 1984). A therapist can make use of any therapeutic technique to work in a single-system design. Gillette (1982, p499) stated: ‘Each occupational therapy clinic is a virtually untouched laboratory, a storehouse of evidence that, properly recorded, analysed and published, would serve to confirm the value of occupational therapy as a health care service.’ This article describes the application of single-system design in a clinical setting. The client discussed was treated using sensory integrative therapy. The purpose of this article is to show how a selected behaviour can be recorded and measured effectively using a single-system design.

Objective: A computer program for social work practice research was created and then tested. This program was designed specifically for computer tasks of data entry, data analysis, and graphic presentations of single-system-design research in social work practice. Method: An evaluation of this program was conducted with 136 students at one master's of social work (MSW) program in the spring of 1996. Results: More than 95% of the students surveyed found the program added a valuable component to research, and 81.9% reported the program helpful in evaluating practice. Conclusions: Computer software programs that are research design specific may encourage more social workers to do practice evaluation studies, but further development and testing of these types of specialized programs is called for.

Cervical facet syndrome merupakan salah satu kondisi nyeri tengkuk yang bisa menjalar ke occiput, upper thoracal, shoulder, atau middle thoracal tergantung pada segmen cervical yang terkena. Penelitian ini adalah  quasi eksperimen yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh Mc.Kenzie Cervical dan Muscle Energy Technique (MET) terhadap peningkatan lingkup gerak sendi (LGS) cervical pada penderita cervical facet syndrome. Sebuah  penelitian yang dilakukan di Poliklinik Fisioterapi RSUP. Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo. Sampel adalah penderita cervical facet syndrome. Pengambilan sampel secara purposive sampling dengan jumlah responden sebanyak 20 orang yang dibagi kedalam 2 kelompok masing-masing 10 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan  cervical facet syndrome terbanyak usia 40 – 44 tahun,yaitu   4 orang (40%) dan usia 45 – 50 tahun yaitu 8 orang (80%),  lebih banyak perempuan yaitu 11 orang dan laki-laki  9 orang. Uji  Wilcoxon bahwa Mc.Kenzie berpengaruh  bermakna terhadap peningkatan LGS ekstensi dan rotasi cervical dengan rata-rata peningkatan sebesar 2,80 dan nilai p = 0,004 (p < 0,05) untuk ekstensi, serta 5,50 dan nilai p = 0,005 (p < 0,05) untuk rotasi, kemudian pemberian Muscle Energy Technique dapat menghasilkan pengaruh yang bermakna terhadap peningkatan LGS ekstensi dan rotasi cervical dengan rata-rata peningkatan sebesar 2,70 dan nilai p = 0,004 (p < 0,05) untuk ekstensi, serta 5,40 dan nilai p = 0,005 (p < 0,05) untuk rotasi. Berdasarkan hasil analisis Mann-Whitney menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan pengaruh yang bermakna antara Mc.Kenzie dengan Muscle Energy Technique terhadap peningkatan LGS ekstensi dan rotasi cervical dengan nilai p = 0,651 (p > 0,05) untuk ekstensi dan nilai p = 0,841 (p > 0,05) untuk rotasi. Dengan demikian  tidak ada perbedaan pengaruh  bermakna antara Mc.Kenzie dengan Muscle Energy Technique terhadap peningkatan LGS ekstensi dan rotasi cervical. Kata Kunci : Mc.Kenzie, Muscle Energy Technique, LGS Cervical
