HUBUNGAN OBESITAS DENGAN RANGE OF MOTION SENDI PANGGUL DAN FLEKSI LUMBAL PADA DEWASA MUDA

Abstract

Background : Obesity is a worldwide health problem that may be a risk factor for several diseases, including impaired mobility. Obesity is known as a factor that can affect the amount of the joints movement. However, there has been no study about obesity in young adults with the hip joint and lumbar flexion range of motion (ROM). Aim : To determine the relationship of obesity with hip joint and lumbar flexion ROM in young adult obese and the difference of hip joint and lumbar flexion ROM between male and female young adult obese. Methods : A cross-sectional study was conducted in April-May 2016. The subjects were 37 men and 23 women aged 18-22 years old with a BMI ≥ 25 kg / m2. Anthropometric data and joint ROM obtained by measuring the subject directly. ROM was measured using goniometer. Results : There were significant negative correlation between BMI and hip flexion, hip adduction and lumbar flexion, and a significant positive correlation with BMI and hip internal rotation. Significant differences range of motion between male and female was found in hip adduction, internal rotation and external rotation (p = 0.004, p = 0.000 and p = 0.000). Conclusion : Obesity can reduce hip flexion, hip adduction and lumbar flexion range of motion, and there is an increased hip internal rotation range of motion. There are significant differences between hip adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation with mean of ROM greater among men compare to women.
