CONSTRAINT-INDUCED MOVEMENT THERAPY (CIMT) WITH FIVE DAILY ACTIVITIES FOR SEVEN DAYS OF EXERCISE INCREASES MUSCLE STRENGTH ON PATIENTS HEMIPARESIS POST ISCHEMIC STROKE

Abstract

Abstract
Stroke make an impact on disturbing activities day living and can cause impaired muscle strength. constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) will stimulate the brain to form new neurons. This research aimed to know the effect of CIMT combination with everyday equipment on muscle strength in patient's hemiparesis post-ischemic stroke. Design of quasi-experiment research with one group pretest-posttest. Respondents were taken by consecutive sampling as much as 17 respondents in inpatient ward Hospital, Cimahi. Data were collected using sheet instruments and a manual muscle test. Analyzed by the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that there was a difference score of muscle strength pretest and posttest (p=0,000). Instruments used for measuring differences in the study of normative, valid, and reliable is a manual muscle test. CIMT combined with five daily equipment activities proved to affect increasing muscle strength in a patient's hemiparesis post-ischemic stroke. CIMT combination with five daily equipment a day these days can be applied in hospital intervention to improve muscle strength in patients with hemiparesis post-ischemic strokes.
