PERBEDAAN NILAI RANGE OF MOTION (ROM) SENDI EKTREMITAS ATAS SEBELUM DAN SESUDAH PELATIHAN SENAM LANSIA MENPORA PADA KELOMPOK LANSIA KEMUNING BANYUMANIK, SEMARANG

Abstract

Background : Higher life expectancy led to increasing number of elderly and health problems, including difficulty in ADL’s and IADL’s activities. Getting older, flexibility decreases, while MENPORA elderly gymnastics is a form of exercise that is easy for the elderly to improve their range of motion (ROM). Objective : Proving MENPORA elderly gymnastics training can increase value of upper limb joints’ ROM in Kemuning elderly group, Banyumanik, Semarang. Methods : The study is one group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. Samples are elderly people in Kemuning, Banyumanik, Semarang, who met inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria (n=11); upper limb joints’ ROM were measured with universal goniometer. Data distribution tested with Saphiro- Wilk. Normal distribution tested with paired T-test, while abnormal distribution tested with Wilcoxon test. Results : The upper limb joints’ ROM difference on the elderly after MENPORA elderly gymnastics are : articulatio humeri: abduction : right: (- 24.545±11.058°) ,p=0.00, left: -24.909±11.058°, p=0.00; adduction:right:(- 10.909±11.794°), p=0.012, left:(-17.727±13.850°),p=0.002; flexion: right:(-18 636±16.747°), p= 0.012, left: : (-17.727±13.850°,p= 0.002,p=0.012; hyprextension: right: (Z = -1.962°) ,p = 0.040, left: (-9.091±4.908°),p=0.010 ; articulatio cubiti: flexion: right: (10.455±10.829°), p= 0.009, left: (Z=-2,825), p=0.005 ; xv hyperextension: right: (Z=-2.236 °),p = 0.025, left: Z=(-2,00),p=0.046; articulatio radiocarpea :flexion right:(13.636±7.447°), p= 0.00, left; (Z=-2.829),p=0.005; hyperextension right: (Z = -2.754 ° ) , p = 0.006, left: (-9.091±4.908),p=0,00 . Conclusion : MENPORA elderly gymnastics training can increase the value of the upper limb joints’ ROM in Kemuning elderly group, Banyumanik, Semarang.
