Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor.</p> <p>To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed.</p> <p>Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted. While the Editor considers the request, publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the Editor will result in a corrigendum.</p> <h4>Copyright</h4> <p>Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a ‘Copyright Transfer Agreement’ (<a href="http://www.mevjournal.com/index.php/mev/about/submissions#copyrightNotice">see more information</a>).

To use the template, kindly ‘Save As’ the MS Word file to your document, then copy and paste your document. To copy and paste the text into the template, please use ‘Special Paste’ and choose ‘Unformatted Text’. Papers not prepared in accordance with author guidelines and manuscripts with number of mistakes will have to be pre-rejected by Editor.</p> <p>Download the ‘Author Submission Template’ DOCX</p> <p><a href="http://www.mevjournal.com/mevfiles/MEV_author_submission_template_17.1.docx">http://www.mevjournal.com/mevfiles/MEV_author_submission_template_17.1.docx</a></p> <p>If your article includes any Videos and/or other Supplementary material, this should be included in your supplementary file at initial submission for peer review purposes.</p> <h4>Word Processing Software</h4> <p>The manuscript should contain at least 2.000 words and should not exceed 25 pages including embedded figures and tables, contain no appendix, and the file should be in Microsoft Office (.doc/.docx) or Open Office (.odt) format. The paper should be prepared in A4 paper (210 mm x 297 mm) using 25 mm for left margin and 2 mm for the top, bottom, and right margin. No need to alter page number in this template as the page number will be reordered at preprinting process. The whole manuscript body should be in one column, using font type Times New Roman (TNR), font size 12, first line indent 5 mm, and 1.5 line spacing.</p> <p>Please make sure that you use as much as possible normal fonts in your documents. Special fonts, such as fonts used in the Far East (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc.) may cause problems during processing. To avoid unnecessary errors, you are strongly advised to use the ‘spellchecker’ function of MS Word.</p> <h4>Section Headings</h4> <p>Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. The abstract is not included in section numbering. Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.</p> <p>Heading should be made in four levels. Level five cannot be accepted.</p> <ul> <li class="show"><em>Heading Level 1;&nbsp;</em>Heading 1 should be written in title case, left aligned, bold, 14 TNR, and Roman numbered followed by a dot.</li> <li class="show"><em>Heading Level 2;</em>&nbsp;Heading 2 should be written title case, left aligned, bold, 12 TNR, Capital Arabic numbered followed by a dot.</li> <li class="show"><em>Heading Level 3;</em>&nbsp;Heading 3 should be written title case, left aligned, italic, 12 TNR, numbered by Arabic number followed by closed bracket</li> <li class="show"><em>Heading level 4;</em>&nbsp;Heading 4 is not recommended, however, it could still be accepted with the format of sentence case, left indent 5 mm, hanging indent 5 mm, italic, 12 TNR, numbered by small cap followed by a closed bracket.</li> <li class="show"><em>Heading Level 5;</em>&nbsp;Heading Level 5 cannot be accepted in the manuscript.</li> </ul> <h4 id="artstructure"><strong>Article structure</strong></h4> <p>The manuscript should begin with title, abstract, and keyword(s) followed by the main text. The main text should consist of at least IMRaD structure, except for the review article: Introduction, Method/Material, Result and Discussion, and Conclusion; followed by acknowledgement and References.</p> <h4>Introduction</h4> <p>State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, state of the art, and should be avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Explain how you addressed the problem and clearly state the aims of your study.</p> <h4>Materials and methods</h4> <p>Provide sufficient details to allow the work to be reproduced by an independent researcher. Methods that are already published should be summarized and indicated by a reference. If quoting directly from a previously published method, use quotation marks and also cite the source. Any modifications to existing methods should also be described.</p> <p>A Theory section (if necessarily added) should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction and lays the foundation for further work. A Calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.</p> <h4>Results and discussions</h4> <p>Results should be clear and concise. Discussion should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.</p> <p>The following components should be covered in the discussion section: How do your results relate to the original question or objectives outlined in the Introduction section (what)? Do you provide interpretation scientifically for each of your results or findings presented (why)? Are your results consistent with what other investigators have reported (what else)? Or are there any differences?</p> <h4>Conclusions</h4> <p>The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section. The conclusion section should lead the reader to the important matter of the paper. Suggestion or recommendation related to further research can also be added but not to confuse the research with an uncompleted work.</p> <h4>Acknowledgements</h4> <p>Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.).</p> <h4>Appendices</h4> <p>It is not recommended to use appendices in MEV Journal submission.</p> <h4 id="titlepageinfo"><strong>Essential title page information</strong></h4> <h4>Title</h4> <p>The title of the manuscript should be concise and informative, less than 15 words, title case, centered, bold. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. The title should be accurate, unambiguous, specific, and completely identify the main issue of the paper. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.</p> <h4>Author names and affiliations</h4> <p>Author names should not contain academic title, official rank, or professional position. Please clearly indicate the given name(s) and last/family name(s) -full name if possible- of each author and check that all names are accurately spelled. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Write clear affiliation of all Authors. Affiliation includes name of department/unit, (faculty), the name of university/institution, complete postal address, and country. All contributing author should be shown in contribution order.</p> <h4>Corresponding author</h4> <p>Clearly indicate the corresponding author clearly for handling all stages of pre-publication, refereeing, and post-publication. This responsibility includes answering any future queries about Methodology and Materials. Ensure that the e-mail address is given and that contact details are kept up to date by the corresponding author.</p> <h4>Present/permanent address</h4> <p>If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.</p> <h4 id="abstract"><strong>Abstract and keywords</strong></h4> <h4>Abstract</h4> <p>Abstract should be concise and factual, contains neither pictures nor tables, and should not exceed 250 words. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, research materials and methods, the principal results, and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.</p> <h4>Graphical abstract</h4> <p>A graphical abstract is optional. Its use is encouraged as it draws more attention to the online article. The graphical abstract should summarize the contents of the article in a concise, pictorial form designed to capture the attention of a wide readership. Graphical abstracts should be submitted as a supplementary file in the online submission system. Image size: Please provide an image with a minimum of 531 × 1328 pixels (h × w) or proportionally more. The image should be readable at a size of 5 × 13 cm using a regular screen resolution of 96 dpi. Preferred file types: TIFF, EPS, PDF or MS Office files. You can view Example Graphical Abstracts on our information site.</p> <h4>Keywords</h4> <p>The keywords should be avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts. Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.</p> <h4 id="instruments"><strong>Instruments</strong></h4> <h4>Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Units</h4> <p>Define abbreviations and acronyms at the first time they are used in the text, even after they have been defined in the abstract. Abbreviations such as IEEE, SI, MKS, CGS, sc, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title or heads unless they are unavoidable.</p> <p>Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units are encouraged.) English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each quantity that you use in an equation.</p> <p>Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations of units: “Wb/m²” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m².” Spell units when they appear in text: “...a few henries,” not “...a few H.” Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm3,” not “cc”.</p> <h4>Math formulae</h4> <p>Mathematical equation should be clearly written, numbered orderly, and should be an editable text prepared using MS Equation Editor (not in image format) and should also be separated from the surrounding text. Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined before or immediately following the equation. Use “(1),” not “Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is ...”. Italicize Roman symbols for quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use a long dash rather than a hyphen for a minus sign.</p> <h4>Header-footer and hyperlink</h4> <p>Header and footer including page number must not be used. All hypertext links and section bookmarks will be removed from papers. If you need to refer to an Internet email address or URL in your paper, you must type out the address or URL fully in Regular font.</p> <h4>Footnotes</h4> <p>Footnotes should be avoided if possible. Necessary footnotes should be denoted in the text by consecutive superscript letters. The footnotes should be typed at the foot of the page in which they are mentioned, and separated from the main text by a short line extending at the foot of the column.&nbsp;</p> <h4 id="figure"><strong>Figure and table</strong></h4> <p>Figure should be in grayscale, and if it made in color, it should be readable (if it later printed in grayscale). A caption should be sequentially numbered with Arabic numerals and comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used. The lettering on the artwork should be clearly readable and in a proportional measure and should have a finished, printed size of 8 pt for normal text and no smaller than 6 pt for subscript and superscript characters. Use words rather than symbols or abbreviations when writing Figure axis labels to avoid confusing the reader. As an example, write the quantity “Magnetization,” or “Magnetization, M,” not just “M.” If including units in the label, present them within parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. In the example, write “Magnetization (A/m)” or “Magnetization (A ( m(1),” not just “A/m.” Do not label axes with a ratio of quantities and units. For example, write “Temperature (K),” not “Temperature/K.”</p> <p>Figures should have a brief description in the main body of the manuscript. Insert figures and tables after they are cited in the text. For layouting purpose, please provide high resolution figure (≥300dpi) in .tif/.jpg/.jpeg. Low-quality scans are not acceptable. Figures and tables should be embedded and not supplied separately. Moreover, kindly avoid mentioning the position of figure/table e.g. “figure below” or “table as follow” because the position will be rearranged in layouting process. DO NOT put boxes around your figures to enclose them.</p> <p>We suggest that you use a text box to insert a graphic (which is ideally at least 300 dpi resolution TIFF or EPS file with all fonts embedded) because this method is somewhat more stable than directly inserting a picture. To have non-visible rules on your frame, use the MSWord “Format” pull-down menu, select Text Box &gt; Colors and Lines to choose No Fill and No Line.</p> <h4>Image manipulation</h4> <p>Whilst it is accepted that authors sometimes need to manipulate images for clarity, manipulation for purposes of deception or fraud will be seen as scientific ethical abuse and will be dealt with accordingly. For graphical images, this journal is applying the following policy: no specific feature within an image may be enhanced, obscured, moved, removed, or introduced. Adjustments of brightness, contrast, or color balance are acceptable if and as long as they do not obscure or eliminate any information present in the original.</p> <h4>Electronic artwork</h4> <p>General points:</p> <ul> <li class="show">Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.</li> <li class="show">Preferred fonts: Arial (or Helvetica), Times New Roman (or Times), Symbol, Courier.</li> <li class="show">Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text.</li> <li class="show">Use a logical naming convention for your artwork files.</li> </ul> <p>Formats</p> <p>Regardless of the application used, when your electronic artwork is finalized, please 'save as' or convert the images to one of the following formats (note the resolution requirements for line drawings, halftones, and line/halftone combinations given below):</p> <ul> <li class="show">EPS (or PDF): Vector drawings. Embed the font or save the text as 'graphics'.</li> <li class="show">TIFF (or JPG): Color or grayscale photographs (halftones): always use a minimum of 300 dpi.</li> <li class="show">TIFF (or JPG): Bitmapped line drawings: use a minimum of 1000 dpi.</li> <li class="show">TIFF (or JPG): Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (color or grayscale): a minimum of 500 dpi is required.</li> </ul> <p>Please do not:</p> <ul> <li class="show">Supply files that are optimized for screen use (e.g., GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG); the resolution is too low.</li> <li class="show">Supply files that are too low in resolution.</li> <li class="show">Submit graphics that are disproportionately large for the content.</li> </ul> <h4>Figure captions</h4> <p>Ensure that each illustration has a caption. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used. figure caption of a single line must be centered whereas multi-line captions must be justified</p> <h4>Tables</h4> <p>Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Number tables consecutively with Arabic numerals in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical rules and shading in table cells.</p> <h4 id="reference"><strong>Construction of references</strong></h4> <p>References are recommended using IEEE referencing style. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). References should be listed at the end of the paper and numbered in the order of their appearance in the text. The template will number citations consecutively within brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]—do not use “Ref. [3]” or “reference [3]” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first ...”</p> <p>Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list, they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication. Wikipedia, personal blog, or non-scientific website is not allowed to be taken into account. Primary references should be at least 80% from at least fifteen references. References should be taken from the late ten years.</p> <p>Avoid bulk references such as [1–9]. Avoid excessive self-citations (no more than 20%). If possible, article’s DOI should be given for each reference list. Note that missing data will be highlighted at proof stage for the author to correct.</p> <h4>Reference formatting</h4> <p>There are two types of references, i.e., electronics sources and nonelectronics sources. Sample of correct formats for various types of references are as follows</p> <ul> <li class="show"><em>Book</em>: Author,&nbsp;<em>Title</em>. edition, editor , City, State or Country: Publisher, year, Pages.</li> <li class="show"><em>Part of book</em>: Author, “Title”, in&nbsp;<em>Book</em>, edition, editor, City, State or Country: Publisher, year, Pages.</li> <li class="show"><em>Periodical</em>: Author, “Title”,&nbsp;<em>Journal</em>,&nbsp;<em>volume (issue)</em>, pages, month, year.</li> <li class="show"><em>Proceeding:&nbsp;</em>Author, “Title”, in&nbsp;<em>Proceeding</em>, year, pages.</li> <li class="show"><em>Unpublished paper</em>: Author, “Title”, presented at Conference/ event title, City, State or Country, year.</li> <li class="show"><em>Paten/Standart</em>: Author, “Title”, patent number, month day, year.</li> <li class="show"><em>Technical report</em>: Author, “Title”, Company, City, State or Country, Tech.

This condition may also impact future fertility. This study aimed to determine the relationship between sources of information and knowledge about dysmenorrhea among female students at SMPN 246 Jakarta in 2023. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design involving 129 students from grades VII and VIII selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed a p-value of 0.842 (&gt;0.05), indicating no significant relationship between information sources and the level of knowledge about dysmenorrhea. It is recommended that parents improve open communication with their daughters, particularly regarding reproductive health and dysmenorrhea.</p> Nur Fitri Ayu Pertiwi ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-12-24 2025-12-24 5 02 201 207 10.59946/jfki.2025.466 https://physiohealthjournal.org/jfki/article/view/451 <p><strong><em>Background : </em></strong><em>Forward Head Posture (FHP) is an increase upper part cervical convexity and a decrease lower part cervical convexity that caused an anterior load of the cervical spine.

The global elderly population is predicted to increase significantly by 2050, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. However, aging is not always accompanied by good functional capacity, including balance disorders, which can be caused by cognitive decline. One of many promising physiotherapy methods to address this issue is Perturbation-based Balance Training (PBT). </em><strong><em>Methods:</em></strong><em>&nbsp;This study employed a pre- experimental design with a pre- and post-test model. Participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria received physiotherapy interventions in the form of PBT, conducted twice a week for four weeks. </em><strong><em>Results:</em></strong><em>&nbsp;There were 8 participants in total, consisting of 4 males and 4 females. The average age of the participants was 70.13 years. Bivariate analysis conducted on the post-TUG and pre-TUG results showed a significant outcome, with p = 0.019. </em><strong><em>Conclusion:</em></strong><em>&nbsp;The time required to complete the TUG test decreased after receiving PBT intervention for four weeks. PBT had an effect on dynamic balance in elderly individuals with cognitive impairment at the Pangudi Luhur Integrated Center in Bekasi City.</em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;</em></p> <p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em>&nbsp;dynamic balance; cognitive impairment; perturbation-based balance training</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> NUR ACHIRDA KEMAL NAFI RIYANTO ERNA SARIANA TOTO AMINOTO ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-12-24 2025-12-24 5 02 358 364 10.59946/jfki.2025.480 https://physiohealthjournal.org/jfki/article/view/484 <p>Premarital sexual behavior among adolescents shows an increasing trend and is a concern in reproductive health. One of the influencing factors is parental parenting styles, which include authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative styles. This study aims to determine the relationship between the type of parental parenting style and premarital sexual behavior of adolescents at MB High School in Bekasi City in 2025. This research method uses a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach, with 64 respondents sampling stratified random sampling using the PSDQ questionnaire and premarital sexual behavior. The results of this study indicate a significant relationship between parenting styles and premarital sexual behavior (p = 0.027), indicating that authoritarian parenting styles are most commonly found in adolescents with risky premarital sexual behavior (61.5%). Meanwhile, permissive and authoritative parenting styles are more commonly found in adolescents with non-risky premarital sexual behavior. The number of children is not significantly related to parental parenting styles. Parenting styles and adolescent premarital sexual behavior have a significant relationship, with authoritarian parenting styles more likely to be found in adolescents with non-risky sexual behavior.</p> Heriza Syam Sri Sukamti Siti Masitoh Naura Suhartinah Widyanti Jehanara Jehanara Debbiyantina Debbiyantina ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-12-24 2025-12-24 5 02 365 376 10.59946/jfki.2025.484 https://physiohealthjournal.org/jfki/article/view/485 <p>Background:Labor is strongly influenced by a mother’s experience during pregnancy, where maternal health plays a crucial role in determining the quality and smoothness of delivery. During pregnancy, many women experience various problems, one of which is reduced physical fitness. Data indicate that 89.9% of pregnant women have low fitness levels, and 71% experience poor labor quality. This study aims to determine the relationship between physical fitness in third-trimester pregnant women and the quality of childbirth. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design using the childbirth quality questionnaire developed by Jannah (2024). The questionnaire was administered to each respondent and included demographic data and questions related to the delivery process they underwent. A total of 80 respondents were selected using purposive sampling based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test and calculation of the Odds Ratio. Results:The Chi-Square analysis revealed a significant relationship between physical fitness in third-trimester pregnant women and childbirth quality, with a p-value of 0.028 (p &lt; 0.05), indicating a statistically significant association between the two variables. Based on the Odds Ratio calculation, pregnant women with poor physical fitness had a 2.756 times higher risk of experiencing negative labor outcomes compared to those with good fitness levels.Conclusion: Pregnant women are strongly recommended to maintain and improve their physical fitness throughout pregnancy to support better childbirth outcomes.</p> Roikhatul jannah Christina Diaz Ananda Jati Toto Aminoto ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-12-24 2025-12-24 5 02 377 386 10.59946/jfki.2025.485 https://physiohealthjournal.org/jfki/article/view/487 <p>Tujuan: <em>Systematic review</em> ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan mensintesis bukti-bukti ilmiah mengenai faktor-faktor risiko utama yang memengaruhi kejadian Stroke berdasarkan studi-studi terbaru. Metode: Pencarian literatur dilakukan pada basis data PubMed, Google Scholar, dan Science Direct, menghasilkan total 91.048 artikel. Seleksi studi dilakukan mengikuti pedoman PRISMA. Setelah eliminasi duplikasi dan skrining berdasarkan kriteria inklusi (studi primer yang membahas faktor risiko stroke pada populasi dewasa), sebanyak 13 artikel memenuhi syarat untuk dianalisis kualitatif. Hasil: Sintesis data menunjukkan bahwa faktor risiko yang paling dominan dan konsisten dalam memengaruhi kejadian stroke adalah Hipertensi (ditemukan pada 11 dari 13 studi), diikuti oleh Diabetes Melitus dan Gaya Hidup Sedentari. Hipertensi terbukti menjadi faktor risiko terkuat dan paling dominan dibandingkan individu normotensif. Studi yang dimasukkan sebagian besar menggunakan desain observasional (<em>case-control</em> dan <em>cohort</em>). Studi yang dimasukkan sebagian besar menggunakan desain observasional (<em>case-control</em> dan <em>cohort</em>). Kesimpulan: Faktor-faktor risiko yang tidak dapat dimodifikasi (usia dan genetik) dan yang dapat dimodifikasi (Hipertensi, Diabetes, Merokok) berperan penting dalam patogenesis Stroke. Pengendalian Hipertensi dan modifikasi gaya hidup adalah intervensi paling krusial untuk pencegahan primer stroke.</p> Ganesa Puput Dinda Kurniawan Liza Laela Abida Restu Arya Pambudi ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-12-24 2025-12-24 5 02 387 396 10.59946/jfki.2025.487 https://physiohealthjournal.org/jfki/article/view/489 <p>Background: Dynamic balance is the ability to maintain balance while moving or changing position. Many people experience kinematic deviations from normal walking patterns after a stroke. In post-stroke patients, there are problems with balance and walking patterns due to muscle weakness, and impaired motor and sensory control which can result in balance disorders and kinematic deviations from normal walking patterns. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of Swiss Ball Exercise on dynamic balance and gait patterns in post-stroke patients. Methods: This study used pre-experimental with one group pretest-posttest research design. Conducted for 4 weeks with a frequency of 3 times a week. The research subjects consisted of 10 people with the measurement of balance Timed up and go test and walking pattern Wisconsin gait scale. Results: The Wilcoxon Test obtained a p-value of 0.005 on dynamic balance, while the Paired Sample T- Test test obtained a p-value of 0.002 on walking patterns. Conclusion: Swiss Ball Exercise intervention has a significant effect on dynamic balance and gait patterns in post-stroke patients.</p> Abdurahman Berbudi B L nadira juniari juniari yulisky liza laela abida mohammad ali ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2025-12-24 2025-12-24 5 02 397 405 10.59946/jfki.2025.489 https://physiohealthjournal.org/jfki/article/view/477 <p><strong><em>Background</em></strong><em>: </em><em>Piriformis syndrome is a painful condition caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle.
