Abstract
Obesity is a health problem in Indonesia. Data shown by Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) at 2013 described the prevalence of obesity in Indonesia are increasing annually. Obesity becomes risk factor of many diseases, the example of it is musculoskeletal disorder in cause of mobility disorder. Victims of obesity known to have limited movement and joint range of motion (ROM) reduction which caused by mechanical hindrance in joint movement. This research is focusing in discovering the relation between obesity and hip joint ROM reduction in students at Faculty of Medicine Jenderal Achmad Yani University. This research is also using correlation analytical layout with cross sectional approach. Research subject is consisting of 20 males and 38 females^ student member with body mass index (BMI) of ≥- 25 kg/m2. Anthropometrical data and hip joint ROM are obtained from direct measurement of the subject. The data are descriptively analyzed then continued with spearman correlation assessment. The result of this research is stating that there are significant negative correlation between obesity and hip joint ROM flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and exorotation (p<0.05), except for hip joint ROM abduction in female (p>0.05), also significant positive correlation between obesity and hip joint ROM endorotation (p<0.05). In conclusion, this research is showing that there are relations between obesity and hip joint ROM reduction in flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and exorotation movements. Therefore, in female group there are no relation between obesity and hip joint ROM reduction in adduction.
