Abstract

ABSTRAKMenua senantiasa disertai dengan perubahan di semua sistem dalam tubuh manusia, termasuk penurunan pada fungsi kognitif. Salah satu upaya untuk meningkatkan fungsi kognitif pada lanjut usia (lansia) adalah melalui pemberian brain gym. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian brain gym exercise terhadap fungsi kognitif pada lansia.  Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian eksperimental. Sampel yang digunakan merupakan lansia di Puskesmas Tamalanrea Jaya Makassar yang berjumlah 20 orang. Sampel kemudian dibagi secara acak ke dalam dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol. Fungsi kognitif pada lansia diukur menggunakan Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat perubahan fungsi kognitif yang bermakna antara sebelum dan setelah pemberian brain gym pada kelompok intervensi (p<0,05), sedangkan tidak terdapat perubahan bermakna antara sebelum dan setelah pemberian senam lansia pada kelompok kontrol (p>0,05). Selain itu, ditemukan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan nilai fungsi kognitif yang bermakna antara kedua kelompok (p>0,05). Namun, nilai rata-rata fungsi kognitif pada kelompok intervensi lebih besar dibandingkan nilai rata-rata pada kelompok kontrol. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada pengaruh pemberian brain gym exercise terhadap perubahan fungsi kognitif pada lansia.Kata kunci: brain gym, exercise, kognitif, lansia, MMSE ABSTRACTAging is always accompanied by changes in all systems in the human body, including a decrease in cognitive function. Brain gym is one of exercises that can improve cognitive function in the elderly. This study aims to determine the effect of brain gym exercise on cognitive function in the elderly. This study employs an experimental research design. The sample used was 20 elderly who visited Puskesmas Tamalanrea Jaya Makassar. The sample was then divided randomly into two groups (intervention group and control group). Cognitive function in the elderly was measured using MMSE. The results showed that there were significant changes in cognitive function after the administration of brain gym in the intervention group (p <0.05), while there were no significant changes after the administration of elderly exercise in the control group (p> 0.05). Moreover, it was found that there were no significant differences in cognitive function score between the two groups (p> 0.05). However, the average score of cognitive function in the intervention group is greater than in the control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is an effect of brain gym exercise on changes in cognitive function in the elderly.Keywords: brain gym, exercise, cognitive, elderly, MMSE

Abstract

ABSTRACT The global stroke epidemiology is changing rapidly. Although age-standardized stroke death rates have declined worldwide in the last two decades, the absolute number of people who have a stroke each year, live with the consequences of stroke, and die from stroke are increasing. This study aims to determine the effect of a combination of motor relearning programs, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and core stability exercise on improving sitting-to-standing balance and postural muscle strength in stroke patients. This research is a pre-experimental study involving treatment variables, namely a combination of motor relearning programs, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and core stability exercise, while the response variables are sitting to standing balance and postural muscle strength in stroke patients. The target population was stroke patients at the hospital in Makassar City, while the sample for this study was 45 stroke patients at the Makassar City Hospital at the time of the study. This study used the Berg Balance Scale, and Manual Muscle Testing for Sitting to Standing Balance and Muscle Strength before and after the intervention with a frequency of 1 time a week for 3 months. The results of the MRP, PNF and Core Stability studies, the mean balance of the pretest value is 0.64 ± 0.484 (scale 0-4), and the post test value is 3.04 ± 0.767 (scale 0-4), and the p value is 0.000 or < 0.05, the mean pretest value of muscle strength is 0.64 ± 0.484 (0-5 scale), and the post test value is 3.42 ± 0.583 (0-5 scale), and the p value is 0.000 or <0.05. In conclusion, the combination of motor relearning programs, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and core stability exercise has an effect on increasing sitting to standing balance and postural muscle strength in stroke sufferers.
