Background: The ACL is a ligament in the knee joint which functions to stabilize the tibia when moving forward and in rotational movements of the knee joint. Treatment for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries can be done with several procedures, namely reconstructive and conservative. ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure that replaces the injured ACL with a tendon graft because the ACL does not heal after injury due to insufficient vascularization. Common conditions after undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery are complication problems such as experiencing knee stiffness which includes swelling, pain, limited Range of Motion (ROM), especially in extension, decreased muscle strength and decreased proprioception. Objective : To determine the effectiveness of providing exercise in handling post-operative cases of phase 1 ACL surgery. Method: This study used the Case Report method which was carried out at RSD KRMT Wongsonegoro, Semarang in January 2024. The patient was a 20 year old male, diagnosed with Post Op. ALCR phase 1. Results & Discussion: After being given physiotherapy intervention for 3 meetings. With each therapy, it appears that there continues to be improvement. Can increase joint range of motion, increase knee flexor muscle strength, reduce perceived pain, and change segment circumference. Results: Based on the research that has been carried out, the results showed that providing physiotherapy intervention can be effective in phase 1 ACLR cases.

Background: Osteoathritis is a degenerative disease that is usually experienced by individuals due to the aging process. Osteoarthritis can limit and affect a person's activities. There is evidence that muscle dysfunction is involved in the pathogenesis of knee OA. The lower leg muscles are the natural support of the knee joint and improper alignment of the knee can originate proximally, and that poor force production due to muscle weakness can be a factor that ultimately causes stress on the knee. Muscles play a major role in joint structure and function, as demonstrated by the disuse of the quadriceps femoris muscle that accompanies knee joint pain. Quadriceps muscle weakness has been noted by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons as a risk factor for structural damage to the knee joint. Muscle weakness affects the anteroposterior stability of the knee joint. and makes patients feel unstable, causing decreased self-confidence and decreased performance and independence in daily activities, causing disability and dysfunction in osteoarthritis knee patients. The main symptom that arises from Osteoarthritis is pain. Pain is the main problem in sufferers of knee osteoarthritis, and is generally related to activity and will recover when resting. Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Open Kinetic Chain Exercise intervention on the recovery of patients with osteoarthritis. Method: This research uses a case report study with the aim of knowing the treatment of individuals before and after being given the intervention. Results: Providing TENS intervention and open kinetic chain exercises 4x, results in reduced pain intensity, increased joint range of motion and increased functional ability. Conclusion: Providing intervention in the form of TENS and Open Kinetic Chain Exercise has proven to be effective in reducing pain, increasing LGS and increasing functional activity in conditions of Osteoarthritis Knee.

Background: Health is something that is very important for human life. Health and lifestyle are influenced by developments over time. One example is the lack of consumption of foods with fiber to meet daily needs, which causes health problems, namely appendicitis. Appendicitis is a common cause of acute inflammation of the right lower quadrant of the abdominal cavity, which is treated by emergency abdominal surgery. The inflammatory process that occurs in the appendix increases intraluminal pressure which causes the pain to become more severe, generalized or periumbilical and move to the right lower quadrant. One way to deal with pain is by applying the effleurage technique (massage/touch therapy). The aim of this case study is to determine the reduction in pain scale in post-appendectomy patients after effleurage technique therapy (massage/touch therapy). The method used in this case study is case study design with a nursing care process approach. The subjects in this case study were 2 patients, who were obtained from inclusion and exclusion criteria, data collection using the numeric rating scale (NRS). The results of the case study show that the average pain level of the two patients after being given effleurage technique therapy intervention (massage/touch therapy) for 3 days experienced a change from moderate pain to mild pain. The conclusion of this case study shows that there were changes that occurred after the effleurage technique (massage/touch therapy) was given to the 2 patients and they experienced a decrease in the pain scale.

Industry is an effort to produce finished goods using raw materials or raw materials through a manufacturing process in large quantities so that these goods can be obtained at the lowest possible price but with the highest quality (Made Sandi (2010: 148)). PT Sekar Lima Pratama is a textile industry that makes gray cloth which is raw cloth. This type of fabric cannot be sewn directly because it still contains starch which makes the fabric still rough. In the weaving section there were complaints related to the process of transporting woven blocks into the block delivery cart. The complaint that often arises is back pain after lifting the weaving block to place the cart that carries the block to the weaving location.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by increased glucose levels in the blood. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, controls glucose levels in the blood by regulating its production and storage (Smeltzer and Bare, 2019). Diabetes Mellitus occurs if the pancreas produces little or no insulin so that the sufferer is forever dependent on external insulin, or if the pancreas continues to produce insulin but the body develops immunity to its effects. Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by increased blood glucose, which results in decreased blood circulation to cells and decreased nerve cell function. Initial symptoms are paresthesia (prickling, tingling or increased sensitivity) and burning (especially at night). As neuropathy increases, the feet feel numb (numb). Decreased sensitivity to pain and temperature puts neuropathy sufferers at risk of experiencing injury and infection in the feet without knowing it (Smeltzer and Bare, 2019). Foot exercises are activities or exercises carried out by Diabetes Mellitus patients which aim to improve blood circulation so that nutrition reaches the tissues more smoothly, strengthen small muscles, calf muscles and thigh muscles, and overcome the limited joint movement often experienced by Diabetes Mellitus sufferers. Method: The method for writing this final scientific paper is a literature review by examining journals that discuss the effect of diabetic foot exercises on reducing neuropathy symptoms in Diabetes Mellitus sufferers. Results: Based on the results of the implementation carried out by the author, namely encouraging patients to carry out routine extremity movements, namely by carrying out diabetes foot exercise therapy for three consecutive days from 09 to 11 January 2024, differences were found between conditions before and after implementation. The patient data before implementation was that the patient said both feet often felt tingling, the patient said both feet sometimes felt like they were numb, the results of scoring symptoms of diabetic neuropathy were 4, while the patient data after implementation was that the patient complained of tingling both times and feeling like numbness. begins to decrease and the results of scoring symptoms of diabetic neuropathy have decreased, namely to a value of 2, so it can be concluded that there is an influence of diabetic foot exercise therapy on reducing symptoms of diabetic neuropathy in diabetes mellitus sufferers. This is in accordance with the journal that the author studied, namely according to Febrina Angraini S, 2020.
