Efektivitas Kombinasi Chair Stretching Exercise dan Child Pose Exercise Terhadap Peningkatan ROM Pada Pekerja Konveksi di Kota Malang

Effectiveness of Combination of Chair Stretching Exercise and Child Pose Exercise on Increasing ROM in Garment Workers in Malang City. Garment workers are at risk of experiencing low back pain (LBP) due to unergonomic sitting positions and prolonged static movements. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of Chair Stretching Exercise and Child Pose Exercise in increasing Range of Motion (ROM) in garment workers in Malang. The study used a one group pre and post-test design with 29 samples selected by purposive sampling. The intervention was carried out for 3 weeks, 2 times a week for 30 minutes. ROM was measured using a goniometer before and after the intervention. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis (Shapiro-Wilk, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, and Paired T-Test). The results showed a significant increase in ROM in all variables (flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral flexion) with a p-value <0.005. Chair Stretching Exercise and Child Pose Exercise are effective in increasing flexibility and reducing muscle stiffness, so they can be an alternative physiotherapy intervention for workers with LBP.
