Effect of Ankle Kinesio Taping on Dynamic Balance in Stroke Patients- A Pilot Study

Background: Stroke causes partial brain loss, which leads to a functional abnormality of the brain, which produces a variety of symptoms the most prevalent of which is balance affection. Kinesio tape is a thin, light and elastic material which does not immobilize the joint and allows for free movement irrespective of the tape. It serves to facilitate or inhibit the muscle as needed and provides joint stability which will help improve balance function. It is also used to reduce pain, which is a typical complaint in stroke patients. Objective: To assess for immediate and post effects of kinesio tape in stroke patients using Berg Balance Scale and 10 Meter walk test. Method: A total of 15 participants were chosen based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Before application of kinesio tape, the Berg balance scale and a 10-meter walk test were performed and recorded. Following the application, the subjects were reassessed, and the outcomes of the 5-day follow-up were recorded. These scores were statistically analyzed. Result: The statistical analysis showed that there is a significant increase in the dynamic balance function post kinesio tape application. An average increase of 5 scores in BBS was noted and average improvement of 5.70 seconds in 10MWT. Conclusion: This study concludes that there is a significant improvement on dynamic balance after application of kinesio tape in stroke patients. Key words: Stroke, kinesio tape, dynamic balance.

Gambaran Funtional Electrical Stmulation (FES) Untuk Memperbaiki Drop Foot Gait Pasca Stroke: Literature Review

Stroke sufferers who survive experience gait disorders because of damage to brain blood vessels that occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the brain are blocked, so that brain cells lose their oxygen supply which can lead to complaints of feeling weak in the lower limbs and the legs tend to wither or drop foot. . The Drop Foot Gait Rehabilitation Program is essential for improving muscle strength and muscle contraction. One of the Rehabilitation for Drop Foot Gait Post Stroke is FES. This study aims to analyze the effect of Functional Electrical Stimulation to correct Drop Foot Gait post stroke from various references. Selection of articles on literature review it uses PICO. Article writing using search literature through PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar with the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria that have been determined. Literature restricted from 2010 – 2020. From result literature review The five articles show that the results of the characteristics of the respondents based on the gender of male 54.9% and female 45.1%, the results of the characteristics of the respondents based on the age of 100% less than 50 years, and the results of 4 articles of the characteristics of the respondents based on increasing gait using Berg Balance Scale measuring instrument is the average value of pre-test 5.40 and post-test average of 3.57 with a difference of 1.83. The results of a literature review of 1 article using a measuring toolElectroencephalogram that is with the results of the pre-test score of 5.5 and the post-test average of 0.8 with a difference of 4.7. So there is an increase in the patient's gaitDrop Foot Gait Post Stroke using Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES).

A Pilot Study Quantifying Center of Mass Trajectory during Dynamic Balance Tasks Using an HTC Vive Tracker Fixed to the Pelvis

Fall rates are increasing among the aging population and even higher falls rates have been reported in populations with neurological impairments. The Berg Balance Scale is often used to assess balance in older adults and has been validated for use in people with stroke, traumatic brain injury, and Parkinson’s disease. While the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) has been found to be predictive of the length of rehabilitation stay following stroke, a recent review concluded the BBS lacked predictive validity for fall risk. Conversely, sophisticated measures assessing center of mass (COM) displacement have shown to be predictive of falls risk. However, calculating COM displacement is difficult to measure outside a laboratory. Accordingly, we sought to validate COM displacement measurements derived from an HTC Vive tracker secured to the pelvis by comparing it to COM derived from ‘gold’ standard laboratory-based full-body motion capture. Results showed that RMS between the COM calculated from HTC Vive tracker and full body motion capture agree with an average error rate of 2.1 ± 2.6 cm. Therefore, we conclude measurement of COM displacement using an HTC Vive tracker placed on the pelvis is reasonably representative of laboratory-based measurement of COM displacement.

Clinical Evidence Based Nursing (EBNP) Penggunaan Berg Balance Scale Untuk Mengkaji Keseimbangan Pada Pasien Stroke

Stroke can affect balance. Balance is the ability to maintain the body in a balanced position both in static and dynamic conditions. However, the assessment of the existing balance is only done in a static state in stroke patients. The balance assessment describes the balance of stroke patients so that they can be written on asessment form and the transfer record and can determine the need for balance training as one of the rehabilitation of stroke patients. This EBN application aims to find out the use of Berg Balance Scale to assess the balance of both static and dynamic conditions in stroke patients. The method used is conducting PICO analysis, searching database, critical appraisal, and determining relevant journals. EBN implementation was carried out on 10 people who had a stroke in zone A on the 5th floor of Building A RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo. This study uses the Berg Balance Scale scale in Indonesian. The analysis showed that stroke patients who experienced balance disorders were 7 people and did not experience a balance of 3 people BBS can assess the balance of stroke patients in accordance with existing evidence. BBS can be used as a balance assessment in stroke patients.
