This paper reports a case of musculoskeletal chronic pain and evaluates the serviceability of the approarch of psychosomatic orthopedics to musculoskeletal chronic pain with secondary fibromyalgia due to Sjogren's syndrome. There are many so-called musculoskeletal life-related diseases, i. go, degenerative spondylosis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, neck-shoulder-arm syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. The patient suffers from a functional somatic syndrome that includes fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome and the symptom called ‘painful depression’ that consists of the complex of pain and depressive state. However many of orthopaedic physicians have an inclination to interpret ‘psychogenic’ as ‘mere fancy’ or ‘exaggerated’. The orthopedic physician that does not suspect the psycho-social background of the patient's pain can make a good relationship with the patient, because the physician treats the psychosomatic patient as organic disease.

Basal ganglia are an area where cerebral haemorrhage occures frequenthy. Recently our knowledge of the brain and its function increases rapidly, but this knowledge is not much used in rehabilitation yet. Parallel neural networks (Hikosaka, 1999) are a model of sequential procedures learning, and basal ganglia perform an important function in it. Using this model, we designed a rehabilitation approach and applied it to a patient with left putamen hemorrhage. In the early stage, we promoted passive movement of her paralysed arm and fingers in the spatial coordinates with her eyes opened. Afterwords, we guided her to motor leaning in the motor coordinates with somatic sensation with her eyes closed. We intended to integrate the spatial coordinates and motor coordinates, by which we encouraged her to move her arm and fingers with her eyes opened after her recognition of motion perception improved. Her motor paralysis of fingers in particular improved by rehabilitation, which lasted about 1.5 month. We recognized some improvement in her arm, but it was slightly insufficient than her fingers. We considered that a difference in the degree of improvement occurred because she could not confirm enough on her shoulder in the early stage.

Background and Objective: Hypertension is a major health issue worldwide, with primary schoolteachers possessing several lifestyle risks of the disease. There have not been any health promotion programs yet for primary schoolteachers in Indonesia, especially for blood pressure control. A school-based model of workplace wellness program for teachers was developed. It focused on using screening as feedback in controlling blood pressure by eating a healthy diet, doing physical activity, and having regular checks. This study aimed to assess its clinical and behavioral effects. Methods: This trial was a one group pre- and post-test study design without control. It was implemented purposively in three public primary school locations in Jakarta to 44 eligible teachers for approximately three months from January to March 2022. The workplace wellness program included on-site screening (blood pressure, body mass index/BMI, spot urine sodium-creatinine ratio), knowledge, motivation, and ongoing health behavior (physical activity and the dietary approach to stop hypertension/DASH), online education/training, consultation/counseling sessions with a family doctor, and self-monitoring. All screening measurements were repeated at the end of the program. A paired t-test or Wilcoxon analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0. Results: Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased by 5.05 mmHg (p = 0.018) and 6.41 mmHg (p < 0.001), respectively. The spot urine sodium-creatinine ratio and BMI decreased slightly but not significant (p = 0.707; p = 0.761). Knowledge and motivation increased slightly but not significant (p = 0.529; p = 0.175). The DASH behavior significantly increased by 25% (p < 0.001). Though the overall physical activity did not change, the walking activity increased twofold significantly (p = 0.006). This study also showed that the outcome would be achieved when the participant followed the recommendations obediently. Conclusion This school-based workplace wellness program was found to have a potential effect on controlling blood pressure by changing health behaviors. A randomized controlled trial is recommended to provide stronger evidence on its effectiveness before doing a large-scale implementation in primary schools in Indonesia.
