Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a chronic neuropathic pain complication following herpes zoster infection. PHN often leads to persistent pain and facial muscle dysfunction, affecting patients' quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the physiotherapy management using electrical stimulation and facial exercises in a case of facial PHN. A case report design was used to observe a 36-year-old male patient presenting with facial pain and muscle weakness after herpes zoster infection. The physiotherapy intervention, consisting of electrical stimulation and facial exercises, was conducted over three sessions within two weeks. Assessment tools included NPRS, MMT, and Ugo Fisch Scale. There was a significant reduction in pain from NPRS 5/10 to 0, and improvement in frontal muscle strength from MMT 0 to 3. The Ugo Fisch score increased from 62 to 66, indicating functional improvement of facial muscles, though not yet optimal. Electrical stimulation and facial exercises were effective in reducing pain and improving facial muscle function in a PHN patient. Further research with larger samples is needed to validate these findings.

Background: Para-sport provides a new meaning of life for people with disabilities giving them the opportunity to compete nationally and globally, the achievements obtained will have a positive impact on the quality of life, social and economic. To achieve all of this requires biomechanical analysis such as ground reaction force to the specific needs of para-athletes. Objective: To determine the changes in ground reaction force (GRF) in para-athletes with various impairments. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, studies from 2015 to 2025 were analyzed in Scopus, PubMed, Springer, and Google Scholar. The eligible study examined para-athletes with a focus on the variable ground reaction force. Results: the 87 articles obtained 8 articles met the inclusion criteria. The participants was 97 (12.88 ± 6.97). Quality assessment (6.75 ± 0.7). This review identified significant differences in GRF between para-athletes and healthy athletes, especially in those with uTFA. Asymmetry in vertical and anterior-posterior GRFs is observed between affected and unaffected limbs in athletes with uTFA. Conclusions: This review emphasizes the importance of understanding GRF patterns in para-athletes to improve training methods, prosthetic design, and injury prevention strategies. These findings highlight the need for individualized programs that consider the unique biomechanical challenges of para-athletes.

Gangguan tumbuh kembang adalah kondisi individu mengalami gangguan kemampuan bertumbuh dan berkembang sesuai dengan kelompok usia. Hasil ini mungkin disebabkan oleh faktor-faktor seperti rendahnya tingkat pendidikan ibu anak dan sedikitnya pengetahuan, wawasan dan informasi mengenai pengasuhan dan pengawasan yang optimal terhadap anak. Stimulasi yang tepat akan merangsang otak balita sehingga perkembangan kemampuan gerak, bicara dan bahasa, sosialisasi dan kemandirian pada balita berlangsung optimal sesuai dengan umur anak. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini berupa deteksi dini dan intervensi fisioterapi yang diberikan pada kelompok bermain kecamatan Palu Selatan Rt 03/Rw 04 pada bulan februari 2022, kegiatan ini diikuti oleh 6 keluarga dengan sampel anak sebanyak 7 orang. Tahapan kegiatan yang dijalankan penyuluhan kesehatan, demonstrasi pelaksanaan, monitoring serta evaluasi kegiatan. Metode yang digunakan dengan mengisi kuesioner pra skrining perkembangan (KPSP) dengan beberapa pertanyaan diisi “ya” dan “tidak”. Dari hasil tersebut dilakukan evaluasi berkala sehingga didapatkan 6 anak tumbuh kembangnya sesuai dengan umur ditandai dengan berwarna hijau dan 1 anak tumbuh kembangnya masih meragukan ditandai dengan berwarna kuning. Sehingga, diharapkan apabila masyarakat atau orang tua anaknya mengalami gangguan tumbuh kembang agar tidak ragu untuk memeriksa dini ke fisioterapis terdekat atau fasilitas kesehatan sesegera mungkin.
