Perbedaan Pengaruh Latihan Gerak Terhadap Kekuatan Otot pada Pasien Stroke Non-Hemoragik Hemiparese Kanan Dibandingkan dengan Hemiparese Kiri

Abstract

Background: The stroke patients experienced difficulty in walking since they have disorder on their muscle strength, balance and movement coordination, therefore they are difficult to do daily activities. Exercise make stroke patients improvement faster, because they will influence the movement sensation in the brain. The Objective of this study to prove the difference of movement exercise effect toward muscle strength on the right hemiparese of non-haemoragic stroke patients compared to those ones of the left hemiparese. Method: An experimental research with two group designs; pretest and posttest groups. The research uses two groups of patients. The observed groups consist of 20 patiens for the group of stroke patients of the right hemiparese of non-haemoragic and 20 other patiens for the left hemiparese. They are given movement exercise according to physiotherapy program of Dr. Moewardi Hospital Surakarta. The data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistic and variable comparative hypothesis test which were processed using SPSS version 13.0. Result: On the right and left hemiparese, an average increasing of muscle strength were 18.25 and 21.70 respectively. The result from Mann-Whitney test showed that there was no significant difference on the increasing value of muscle strength among the patient of right hemiparese (p=0.828). The average increasing of muscle strength as much as 57.10% on the right hemiparese and 71.92% on the left hemiparese. Conclusion: There was no significant difference on the increasing value of muscle strength among the patient of right and left hemiparese.
