The sit-to-stand (STS) in feet forward is one type of STS with a characteristic of delayed contraction of Tibialis anterior. Surface EMG (sEMG) signals are recorded by non-invasive electrodes and are preferably used to obtain information about the time or intensity of superficial muscle activation. This study aims to find the pattern of muscle acti...

Physiologically aging causes the decreased of muscle mass, strength, and or limited activity known as sarcopenia in the elderly. The decrease in muscle capacity occurs in all elderly, active, or sedentary. Exercise for the elderly is considered not enough to prevent the decrease of function that will occur. Therefore, it is necessary to add strengt...

This paper focuses on the development of thread-based sensor for proprioceptionsensing in finger and knee. The thread sensor is made by dipping cotton thread into carbon nanotube (CNT) dispersion. The electrical and electromechanical properties of the thread change depending on the dipping parameters. The resistance of the CNT-Coated threads change...

Background: A high demand of physiatrist should be supported by quality assurance in education system of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PMR) residency program, that could be done by evaluating satisfaction of its service users. This study was conducted to find the dimensions of service quality that influences the students satisfaction. Method...

This paper focuses on the development of thread-based sensor for mechanomyography (MMG) measurement, by Carbon Nanotube (CNT) coating. The CNT-coated thread is cotton thread that has been coated with carbon nanotube dispersion. The CNT coating changes the thread’s electronic conductivity and mechanical properties. By adjusting coating parameters, t...

Objective: To investigate correlation between handgrip strength, mobilization function, and physical activity level (PAL), and muscle mass in community-dwelling Indonesian elderly. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study 193 subjects aged 60–90 years. Handgrip strength was measured using handgrip dynamometer while the mobilization function was...
