Abstract

Stroke is a cerebrovascular disease that causes neurological and motor impairments, often leading to reduced muscle strength. Music Movement Therapy (MMT) is a non-pharmacological intervention combining music and range-of-motion (ROM) exercises, which may improve muscle strength and support rehabilitation in stroke patients. This case study was conducted from 13–19 March 2024 on a non-hemorrhagic stroke patient (Mrs. M) at the Teratai Room of Bayu Asih Hospital, Purwakarta. The patient received MMT sessions for 15 minutes daily over three consecutive days. Muscle strength was measured before and after the intervention using Manual Muscle Testing (MMT scale). Muscle strength improved from grade 2 (full joint motion without resistance) on day 1 to grade 4 (able to resist light to moderate resistance) on day 3 after the intervention. MMT effectively increased upper-extremity muscle strength in this non-hemorrhagic stroke patient. Health professionals may consider MMT as a complementary non-pharmacological intervention to enhance motor function in stroke rehabilitation.

Abstract

Hypertension affects approximately 1.28 billion people worldwide and remains a major contributor to morbidity and mortality, particularly in Indonesia. Conventional pharmacological management often leads to poor adherence, highlighting the need for complementary therapies. This study aimed to examine the effect of bay leaf (Syzygium polyanthum) decoction on reducing blood pressure in patients with hypertension in Cibeunying, Bandung. This quantitative study employed a quasi-experimental design. A total of 30 hypertensive patients were selected using a non-probability purposive sampling technique and divided into an intervention group and a control group. Blood pressure was measured using a digital sphygmomanometer following standard operating procedures. The intervention group received bay leaf decoction for five consecutive days. Before the intervention, 60.0% of participants in the intervention group were classified as having stage 1 hypertension. After the intervention, only 20.0% remained in stage 1 hypertension, while most participants shifted to the pre-hypertension category. Statistical analysis using the Marginal Homogeneity test showed a significant reduction in blood pressure (p = 0.02; α = 0.05). The findings indicate that bay leaf decoction has a significant effect on lowering blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Therefore, bay leaf decoction may be considered as a complementary non-pharmacological therapy for blood pressure management.
