Abstract

Background: Stroke is still the leading cause of death in brain health problems throughout Indonesia. In stroke patients, 70-80% of patients experience hemiparesis (muscle weakness on one side of the body). One of the rehabilitation and non-pharmacological interventions is muscle strength training, which stimulates nerves and increases functional motor/muscle strength using mirror therapy. Mirror therapy is a treatment for stroke patients that involves the mirror neuron system in the cerebral cortex and helps restore motor skills in the hands and mouth. Aims: To know the effect of mirror therapy on the muscle strength of stroke patients. Method: This research is a literature review. This review aims to review empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of mirror therapy in improving muscle strength in stroke patients through a systematic analysis of the literature from 2019 to 2024. The PRISMA-based search and selection procedure yielded 16 articles for analysis. Results: Based on an analysis of 16 articles, mirror therapy improves muscle strength in stroke patients (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Mirror therapy can improve muscle strength and can be used as part of standard care for stroke patients with muscle weakness, both in the hospital and at home. The author recommends the application of mirror therapy in stroke patients for self-care interventions at home,

Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterised by elevated blood glucose levels and currently shows an increasing trend in prevalence, both globally and nationally. The management of DM is not only conducted pharmacologically but also through non-pharmacological therapies such as physical exercise and complementary treatments. Buerger Allen Exercise and acupressure are known to lower blood glucose levels by improving blood circulation and increasing insulin sensitivity. Aims:  To determine the effect of the combination of Buerger Allen Exercise and acupressure on blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 DM at a primary healthcare facility in Tasikmalaya City. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. A total of 30 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Blood glucose levels were measured before and after the intervention. Data were analysed using the Friedman test. Results:  There was a significant decrease in blood sugar levels before and after the combination intervention of Buerger Allen Exercise and acupressure; the average blood sugar level of pretest 1 was 254.00 mg/dL and pretest 2 was 263.50 mg/dL decreasing to 222.00 mg/dL with a significant value of Chi-Square Calculation > Chi Square Table value (42.467 > 5.991) and p-value (0.000 < 0.05). Conclusion: The combination of Buerger Allen Exercise and acupressure has a significant effect on reducing blood sugar levels in type 2 DM patients at a primary healthcare facility in Tasikmalaya City
