This has been explained in research conducted by E. Wurzinger et al. (2021), entitled
"Dependency in Activities of Daily Living During the First Year After Stroke" states that the
dependence of the majority of post-stroke patients on the functional ability of activities, will see
significant development when 6 months after the patient is affected by a stroke and has the potential
to recover within 1 year.
According to research conducted by Drummond et al. (2024), entitled "The Factors That Influence
Stroke Survivors to Begin or Resume Exercise: A Qualitative Exploration" The results of exercise
therapy for stroke patients are influenced by many factors, including how severe the stroke is, how
long the patient has had a stroke, how consistent the patient has done the exercise program, and even
the patient's daily routine before the stroke It also affects the results of the exercise therapy given to
the patient.
Conclusion
The conclusion of the study on the management of physiotherapy in post-stroke patients with
non-hemorrhagic hemiparese sinistra et causa with infrared and exercise therapy shows that stroke,
caused by disorders in the blood vessels in the brain, can disrupt the central nervous system, one of
which triggers hemiparese, which is weakness on one side of the body. This condition reduces the
patient's independence and mobility, so it requires the help of others. If not treated immediately,
hemiparese risks causing complications to permanent disability. In patient Mr. S, a 68-year-old
woman with a diagnosis of ischemic stroke, has been treated four times with results showing an
increase in muscle strength in the flexor of the left elbow, but there has been no improvement in
balance and functional activity ability. This emphasizes the importance of continuation of therapy to
maximize recovery. Based on the results of physiotherapy management in non-hemorrhagic
hemiparesis sinistra et causa post-stroke patients with infrared and exercise therapy, the authors
provide some important suggestions. For patients, it is recommended to continue the home program
that has been taught by the therapist to support continuous recovery but must pay attention to the
condition of the body and stop the exercise if experiencing dizziness, heart palpitations, or shortness
of breath. For the patient's family, emotional support and motivation are highly recommended so that
the patient remains enthusiastic about undergoing the exercise so that his recovery can be more
optimal and he can return to normal activities. Meanwhile, physiotherapists are expected to continue
to follow existing procedures and increase knowledge in dealing with problems that may arise, so
that the interventions provided are on target and can maximize the results of therapy.
