The elderly are an age group that is prone to falls. The purpose of this service is to detect the risk of falling in the elderly and provide assistance in balance training as an effort to prevent the risk of falling in the elderly. Falls occur due to unintentional loss of balance resulting in failure of postural stability, or unexpected and sudden changes resulting in a position landing on the floor. Associated risk factors include current health status (living in the community, nursing home, hospital, frail or active state), diseases suffered (diabetes, hip fracture, stroke) and general changes related to aging (decreased balance, coordination, muscle strength, visual impairment, etc.). The output targets to be achieved are in the form of publications in accredited national journals and copyright for videos of community service activities. The method used is a fall risk detection examination using. Elderly gymnastics is a series of regular, directed, and planned movements carried out with the intention of improving the functional abilities of the body. Reporting from the Panti Rapih Hospital page, this activity is carried out regularly and with movements that are not too heavy.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of lying leg curl exercises in increasing leg muscle strength among futsal players. Optimal leg muscle strength is crucial for futsal players to enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury. The research employed an experimental method with a pre-test and post-test design, involving 20 futsal players divided into two groups: the intervention group, which participated in an 8-week lying leg curl exercise program, and the control group, which did not receive any intervention. Leg muscle strength was measured using a dynamometer before and after the training program. The results showed that the intervention group experienced a significant increase in leg muscle strength compared to the control group (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that lying leg curl exercises are effective in improving leg muscle strength among futsal players, contributing to better on-field performance. This study is expected to provide insights for coaches and athletes in designing more effective training programs to enhance muscle strength.

Bell's palsy is a neurological disorder and disorder of the cranial nerve VII (facial nerve) in the temporal bone area that causes weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles around the stylomastoid foramen. The cause is not known to be vascular ischemia, viral disease (Herpes simplex, Herpes zoster), autoimmune disease, or a combination of these factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Physiotherapy Management in Bell's Palsy with Infra Red, Electrical Stimulation of Faradic Current and Exercise Therapy as modalities. The study was conducted at Bendan Hospital, Pekalongan City with descriptive analytic method in patients with Bell's Palsy condition. Methods of collecting research data using autoanamnesis and physical examination. The research instrument consisted of examining pain using the Visual Analogue Scale, muscle spasm with palpation, muscle strength using manual muscle testing, and functional activity using the Ugo Fisch scale. After therapy 1 to therapy 4 there was a decrease in pain from T1 = tenderness 4 to T4= tenderness 0. Increased facial muscle strength T1 = m. orbicularis oculi 3 to T4 = m.orbicularis oculi 5. Decreased muscle spasm T1 = m. frontalis 1, m. corrugator supercilli 1, m. zygomaticum 1, m. orbicularis oris 1, m. mentality 1 to T4 = m. frontalis 0, m. corrugator supercilli 0, m. zygomaticum 0, m. orbicularis oris 0, m. mentalis 0. The conclusion is Infra Red, Electrical Stimulation of faradic currents and Exercise Therapy can reduce pain, decrease muscle spasm and increase muscle strength on Bell’s Palsy Sinistra.
