Read More Background: Aerobic exercise is recommended starting from the subacute phase of low back pain, which can increase daily activities. This study aims to analyse the effect of adding walking aerobic exercise on pain intensity and disability status of mechanical chronic low back pain in office workers at Dr. Soetomo Hospital.Methods: True experimental with pre-test and post-test randomized control group design. Each group consisted of 16 respondents. The treatment group received walking aerobic exercise therapy three times a week for 30 minutes with gradually increasing intensity and conventional low back pain exercises for eight weeks. The control group only received conventional exercise therapy 3x/week for eight weeks. The parameters evaluated in this study were pain intensity values using NPRS and disability status using ODI. Measurements were made twice, namely before and after eight weeks of intervention.Results: There was a significant improvement in the NPRS score in the treatment group and the control group (p<0.000 and p<0.001), but there was no difference between the two groups after the intervention (p=1.000), and there was no difference (delta) in the NPRS score between groups (p=0.714). Improvements in ODI scores were found in the treatment and control groups (p<0.000 and p<0.001), and there were differences between the groups after the intervention (p<0.001), and there were significant differences (delta) in ODI between the two groups after the intervention (p<0.001).Conclusion: Addition of walking aerobic exercise to conventional mechanical chronic low back pain exercises can synergistically benefit in decreasing pain intensity and disability status after eight weeks.Background: Aerobic exercise is recommended starting from the subacute phase of low back pain, which can increase daily activities.

Read More Objectives: A clubfoot, or the Congenital Talipes Equinovarus, is one of the most common congenital orthopedic deformities, occurs in different severity. The Ilizarov method's external fixation and gradual distraction are considered the best choice of treatment for correction of severe. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ilizarov technique in the correction of neglected clubfoot deformities.Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, individuals were included in the study by census; the author treated sixteen feet in 14 children and adults with resistant club foot, the patients were treated with Ilizarov method. All patients were assessed pre operatively according to Pirani score and radiological technique and postoperatively through clinical follow up and according to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society scores. SPSS software was used for analysis and a significance level of less than 0.05 was considered.Results: The preoperative assessment of the patients showed that 12 (75.0%) of them were classified as having grade III Pirani scores, with a mean score of 5.063 ± 0.6551, among them 11 (68.7%) were subjected to elongation of tendo-Achilles, plantar fasciatomy, and mid tarsal osteotomy. The radiological findings, pre- and post-operatively showed a high statistical difference in relation to Talo calcaneal angle- antero-posterior, Talo calcaneal angle- lateral, and Talo first metatarsal angle. Patients’ scores showed that the outcome of 9 (56.25%) of them was satisfactory. The postoperative clinical assessment of the patients revealed that 12 (75.0%) of the patients had achieved more than 90° ankle dorsiflexion, and 13 (81.25%) had a normal foot appearance. Also, the position of the foot when standing showed that 10 (62.5%) had 5° valgus and the majority 12 (75.0%) had achieved normal gait.Conclusion: The application of Ilizarov technique could be considered as a convenient, efficient, and successful method for neglected clubfeet deformities.
