THE INCREASING OF MUSCLE STRENGTH AMONG ELDERLY PATIENT POST STROKE NON-HEMORRHAGIC IN SASANA TRESNA WERDHA CIRACAS.

Abstract

Stroke Non-Hemorrhagic is a problem of neuromuscular system which caused by thrombus, embolus and ischemia, thus resulting in the condition of cerebral infarct. This condition may lead to the increasing of disability and mortality incidence. Passive range of motion (ROM) exercise is energy which issued by nurses or mechanical tools for helping patients make a movement in accordance with the patient's ability and muscle strength in use by patients is just 50%. In addition, passive ROM is aimed to enhance blood flow to the brain, minimize the disability as a resultant of blood flow insufficiency to the brain, so that it can improve the function of nitric sensor. The purpose of this study is to identify the effect before and after of passive ROM exercise towards muscle strength among Non-Hemorrhagic Stroke patients in SasanaTresnaWherdaCiracas. The method of this study is a Quasi Experiment with purposive sampling. This research included 13 respondents in the study time period from February to March, 2016. The analysis of this study was used Paired Sample T-Test, with p value 0.05. The result has been shown that the increasing of the muscle strength score after passive ROM exercise as much as 1.08 (p = 0.000), with value before and after were 1. 38 and 2.46, respectively. The value discrepancy before and after passive ROM exercise was expected to be applied to the recovery process of NonHemorrhagic Stroke patients
