Stroke
is clinical symptoms which disturbances in blood circulation to the
brain caused either local or global malfunctioning that occurs suddenly
and rapidly progressive that usually caused hemiparesis in stroke
patients. Late and inappropriate exercises management may cause
permanent disability. The range of motion exercises and early
mobilization in stroke patients may reduce the risk of disability. The
one of rehabilitation and intervention is muscle strength exercise by
stimulating the nerves and improve the functional status of the
motor/muscle strength by using mirror therapy.
Method: These research
based on the literature review (systematic review) of international
journals, which is use quasi-experiment, one group pre-post test
design. These research using purposive sampling with 24 respondents,
while the research instruments using observation sheet those are muscle
strength scale and visual imagery scale, the exercise guide sheets and
mirror as media. The research analysis using univariate and bivariate
analysis. A bivariate analysis using Wilcoxon test .
Results: The
results of these studies indicate that there is increasing in average
muscle strength after mirror therapy exercises five times a day for 7
days evidenced by prior intervention the muscles strength mean of upper
extremities is 2:12 (0.45) and the muscle strength mean of the lower
extremities is 2:12 (0:45 ). After the intervention, the muscle strength
mean of upper extremities became 3.83 (0.56) and the muscle strength
mean of the lower extremities became 4.00 (0.66). Based on the results
of bivariate analysis obtained the calculated value (4369) and
significance levels (p) <0.05.
Conclusion: The results of the
journal's review can be concluded that there is significant differences
are muscle strength before and after mirror therapy exercise in
ischemic stroke patients with hemiparesis.
