The Comparison of Sensorimotor Integration Effects towards the Change in Standing Balance Level Between Hemiparesis Post Non-Hemorrhagic and Hemorrhagic Stroke Patients

Abstract

Stroke is a brain functional disorder both focal and global acute, this is a sudden, progressive, and rapid illness by dint of the inhibition of bloodstream to the brain due to either the hemorrhage/hemorrhagic stroke or the blockage/non-hemorrhagic stroke with symptoms and signs corresponding to the affected part of the brain. The sensorimotor exercise is an activity involving sensory and motor coordination aimed at enhancing the sensorimotor ability which consists of such as visual, tactile, proprioceptive, vestibular, auditory and kinesthetics/motor movement capabilities to achieve a directed, purposeful and functioning motion. The research employed experimental research methods with two group pre-test and post-test. There were two groups of patients in this research namely Non-Hemorrhagic stroke Patients and Hemorrhagic stroke patients. The sample was determined by Slovin formula which amounts to 20 people. Each group amounted to 10 people by utilizing purposive sampling as the sample selection technique. The result of the paired sample t-test shows that p = 0,000 for each NHS group and HS group. The value is smaller than ? = 0.05, which means there is a noticeable effect of sensorimotor integration to the changes in standing balance level in hemiparesis post NHS and HS patients. Then, the outcome of an independent sample t-test indicates that the value p = 0,023 (p <0,05).

It signifies that there is an obvious distinction from the provision of sensorimotor integration toward the alteration in standing balance level to hemiparesis post NHS and HS patients i.e. the NHS group given sensorimotor integration is more effective than the HS group.
