PENGARUH CONSTRAINT INDUCED MOVEMENT THERAPY TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN KOORDINASI EKSTREMITAS ATAS PASCA STROKE

Abstract

Post-stroke symptom commonly occured as result of brain impairment such as paralysis on one side of the body, decrease or loss of taste, impaired balance and coordination problems. Coordination disorder usually found in recovery stage, both in upper and lower extremities. Recovery of upper extremities usually slower than lower extremities, so patients can not use their upper extremities normally. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) on upper extremities coordination ability of post-stroke patients. Design of this study was singlecase research method with ABA design, which were A1: initial baseline, B: tretment, A2: baseline end. Result of this research showed that there was significant improvement of upper extremities ability on patients who got CIMT, meanwhile there was not any significant improvement of upper extremities ability on control patients.
