PENGARUH PEREGANGAN STATIS DAN DINAMIS TERHADAP PERUBAHAN INTENSITAS NYERI SENDI LUTUT PADA LANSIA DENGAN OSTEOARTHRITIS
Abstract: Osteoarthritis is
the most common rheumatic disease of the elderly. Osteoarthritis characterized
by mild inflammation in the synovium that can cause symptoms such as joint
pain. Supporting non-pharmacological therapy that can relieve joint joint pain,
one of which that can be used in the pain management is physical therapy
including static and dynamic stretching. Static and dynamic stretching helps
muscle contraction-relaxation more quick and efficiently, increase joint
flexibility to minimize the friction that occurs due to the increased stiffness
of the joints and stimulates the release of endorphin hormones that can reduce
the sensation of pain. This research aims to determine the effect of giving
static and dynamic stretching for Joint Pain Intensity Alteration In Elderly
with Knee Osteoarthritis. This research were quasi experimental design with
nonequivalent control group design. Samples were 20 elderly with Knee
Osteoarthritis recruited using purposive sampling, divided into experimental
and control group. The subject in the stretching group was given 15 minutes of
stretching exercises three times a week for a month whereas the subjects of
control group only observed. Pain intensity pre-test and post-test in both
groups recorded on the observation sheet. The subject in the stretching group
showed a decrease in the average value of 1,01, whereas the subjects of control
group showed a increase in the average value of 0,30. Independent sample t test
results showed p value sig. (2-tailed) = 0.00 (p < 0.05) which means that
there are significant of dynamic and static stretching to changes in the
intensity of joint pain in older adults with knee osteoarthritis.
