"Latar Belakang: Dokter gigi berisiko lebih besar mengalami Work – related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) yang disebabkan oleh gerakan yang berulang, postur tubuh yang tidak tepat, dan jam kerja yang panjang. Jika prinsip ergonomis diterapkan di bidang kedokteran gigi, penerapan ini dapat membantu mencegah bahaya pekerjaan dan memberikan kenyamanan yang lebih bagi dokter gigi dan pasien. Tujuan: Untuk memperoleh informasi mengenai praktik dental ergonomics dokter gigi di DKI Jakarta serta faktor – faktor yang berhubungan. Metode: Studi cross – sectional dengan metode purposive sampling melalui situs google form kepada 231 dokter gigi di wilayah DKI Jakarta pada bulan November hingga Desember 2022. Kuesioner terdiri atas 34 pertanyaan yang berisi sosiodemografi responden, karakteristik pekerjaan responden, pengetahuan mengenai dental ergonomics, sikap terhadap dental ergonomics, dan praktik dental ergonomics. Uji statistik Continuity Correction dan Pearson Chi – Square dilakukan untuk melihat hubungan antar variabel. Hasil: 76,2% dokter gigi memiliki praktik dental ergonomics yang buruk. Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna (p – value < 0,05) antara praktik dental ergonomics dengan kelompok usia, lama pengalaman kerja, dan juga tingkat pengetahuan. Kesimpulan: Sebagian besar (76,2%) dokter gigi di DKI Jakarta memiliki praktik dental ergonomics yang buruk. Terlepas dari hal itu, lebih dari setengah (52,4%) dokter gigi di DKI Jakarta memiliki pengetahuan yang baik mengenai dental ergonomics dan mayoritas (86,6%) dokter gigi di DKI Jakarta memiliki sikap yang positif terhadap dental ergonomics.

Background: Dentists are at greater risk of Work – related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) which can be caused by repetitive movements, improper posture, and long working hours. If ergonomic principles are applied in the field of dentistry, they help to prevent occupational ergonomic health hazards and provides more comfort to the dentist and patient. Objective: To obtain information regarding dental ergonomics practice of dentists in DKI Jakarta and its related factors. Methods: A cross – sectional study was conducted using a purposive sampling method via Google Form to 231 dentists in DKI Jakarta from November to December 2022. The questionnaire consisted of 34 items divided into five sections; sociodemographic, job characteristics, knowledge of dental ergonomics, attitude towards dental ergonomics, and the practice of dentists regarding dental ergonomics. The data was tested using Continuity Correction and Pearson Chi – Square. Result: 76,2% dentists have poor dental ergonomics practice. There is a significant relationship (p – value < 0,05) between the practice of dental ergonomics and age group, years of practical experience, and level of knowledge. Conclusion: Most (76.2%) dentists in DKI Jakarta have poor dental ergonomics practice. Apart from that, more than half (52.4%) of dentists in DKI Jakarta have good knowledge of dental ergonomics and the vast majority (86,6%) of dentists in DKI Jakarta have a positive attitude towards dental ergonomics."

"Non-specific neck pain merupakan salah satu keluhan muskuloskeletal yang sering dialami oleh pekerja kantoran akibat posisi duduk statis dan ergonomi kerja yang buruk. Salah satu intervensi fisioterapi manual yang digunakan untuk mengatasi kondisi ini adalah Muscle Energy Technique (MET), yang terdiri dari teknik Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR) dan Post-Facilitation Stretching (PFS). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian Muscle Energy Technique terhadap penurunan nilai Neck Disability Index (NDI) pada pekerja kantoran dengan non-specific neck pain. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain pra-eksperimental dengan pendekatan one group pretest-posttest. Sebanyak 26 partisipan dengan keluhan non non-specific neck pain mengikuti intervensi MET selama 4 minggu dengan frekuensi tiga kali per minggu. Pengukuran dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner Neck Disability Index (NDI) versi Indonesia. Hasil analisis menunjukkan adanya penurunan skor NDI yang signifikan setelah pemberian intervensi MET (p < 0,001), dengan nilai perubahan yang melebihi batas Minimal Clinically Important Change (MCIC). Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa Muscle Energy Technique efektif dalam menurunkan disabilitas leher pada pekerja kantoran yang mengalami nyeri leher non-spesifik. Intervensi ini dapat dijadikan sebagai bagian dari terapi manual berbasis bukti untuk populasi kerja berisiko.

Non-specific neck pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint among office workers, often caused by prolonged static posture and poor ergonomic conditions. One of the manual physiotherapy interventions used to address this issue is Muscle Energy Technique (MET), which includes Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR) and Post-Facilitation Stretching (PFS) techniques. This study aimed to determine the effect of Muscle Energy Technique on reducing the Neck Disability Index (NDI) in office workers with non-specific neck pain. This study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. A total of 26 participants with non-specific neck pain received MET intervention over four weeks, three times per week. Measurements were conducted using the Indonesian version of the Neck Disability Index (NDI) questionnaire. The results showed a significant reduction in NDI scores after the intervention (p < 0.001), with changes exceeding the Minimal Clinically Important Change (MCIC) threshold. Therefore, it can be concluded that Muscle Energy Technique is effective in reducing neck disability in office workers with non-specific neck pain. This intervention can be considered as part of evidence-based manual therapy for at-risk working populations."

"Now in its fourth edition and with a new title - Injection Techniques in Musculoskeletal Medicine - this step-by-step guide is a resource used by practitioners who have to deal with the management of painful joints and soft tissues, particularly in relation to sports and overuse injuries. Area by area, guidance is given for each lesion on appropriate patient selection and delivery of the drug. Every technique has its own two-page spread containing a written description along with an anatomical illustration of the region and a photograph showing the anatomical landmarks for the injection."
