Muscle spasticity, Contrash bathing, Cerebral palsy, Ashworth Scale. CP or cerebral palsy is a condition brain damage in childhood where there is a motor limitations caused by static lesions, non-progressive brain. CP showed abnormalities in muscle tone, causing a disturbance in the form of uncontrolled muscle tension or spasticity so that children are not able to perform functional movements. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of granting contrash bathing or showering in contrast with the water cold temperature (18 degrees Celsius) and the water warm temperatures (38 degrees Celsius) alternately with the duration of a specified time so that the muscles will experience the relaxation or muscle relaxation in the hope of limbs in children can be moved easily. There is the effect of bathing contrash therapy to decrease muscle spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. This study is a quasiexperimental study with two group pre and post test design. The subjects were all patients with CP in Yogyakarta WKCP that meets the criteria of inclusion, exclusion and drop out. The study was conducted for 8 weeks. Data collected were analyzed using SPSS 16.0. The different test within groups measured with Wilcoxon test, and for between groups measured with Mann Whitney test. The significance level was set on 0,05. The Results is the contras bath can reduce spasticity muscles in your arms and legs to cerebral palsy (p = 0.011 and p = 0.025.
Background: Low back pain is a complaint that is often encountered and very disturbing in carrying out daily activities. Myogenic pain is the most common complaint, around 49%.Physiotherapy modalities that can be given are Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (rhythmic stabilization and combination of isotonic). Purpose this study to analyze effectivity rhythmic stabilitation exercise and combination of isotonic to decreased pain for myogenic pain. Methods: this research is two groups pre and post test design. Subjects: 30 subject diagnosed with myogenic pain in Dr Moewardi Hospital during the period between 2019 June –Augs. Results: The result of test toward pain effect between pre and post in group one after 3 weeks (6 times of therapy) is p = 0.009 with Wilcoxon test. The result of test toward pain between pre and post in group two is p = 0.001 and the test of pain between group one and group two shows p = 0.051. Conclusion: there is no difference in effect between the group one and group two toward the reduction of pain of patients with myogenic pain so that the results cannot be seen which is more effective.
