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.  

This research examines the role of education in mitigating income inequality, using a cross-national perspective to assess how different educational policies and access levels affect income distribution.

This study explores how public service innovations in motor vehicle testing, based on Regional Public Service Agencies (BLUD), can improve road safety governance. In regions with rapidly growing motor vehicle populations, inadequate roadworthiness controls contribute to high traffic accident risks. While Indonesia has a regulatory framework for motor vehicle testing, service delivery remains largely administrative and lacks a strong focus on road safety. The study aims to assess how public service innovations can enhance road safety governance through local government-managed vehicle testing based on BLUD. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving local government officials, testing technicians, and service users. Thematic and interpretive data analysis identified governance dimensions that influence service effectiveness. The study finds that road safety governance improvement relies on four main capacities: relational, structural, resource, and adaptive. Although BLUD-based management offers flexibility for service innovation, its implementation has not fully aligned with road safety goals. Challenges remain in public trust, cross-agency coordination, resource availability, and organizational learning. The study concludes that integrating public service innovation with institutional capacity building and safety-focused performance management is essential for strengthening road safety governance. These findings highlight the strategic importance of motor vehicle testing in enhancing road safety and public value at the regional level.

This study explores the relationship between digital literacy and student engagement in language education. With the increasing integration of technology in modern education, digital literacy has become a fundamental skill, influencing various aspects of academic participation. The research employs a correlational design and utilizes Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze the impact of digital literacy on cognitive, behavioral, and emotional engagement in language learning. The findings suggest that students with higher levels of digital literacy demonstrate greater cognitive engagement, including improved critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Additionally, digital literacy was found to positively influence behavioral engagement, such as increased participation, effort, and persistence in learning tasks. Furthermore, emotional engagement, measured by students' enjoyment, interest, and sense of belonging, was strongly associated with digital literacy. This study highlights the critical role of digital literacy in fostering deeper engagement and improving overall learning outcomes in language education. Implications for practice include the integration of digital literacy skills into language curricula, with educators encouraged to incorporate digital tools to enhance engagement. The study also calls for further research to examine the long-term effects of digital literacy on academic performance and to explore the potential disparities in digital literacy levels across different student populations. As educational technology continues to evolve, understanding its impact on student engagement remains essential for developing effective teaching practices that meet the needs of contemporary learners.
