| Summary: | Background: Muscle testing is the evaluation of
contractile units, including muscles and tendons, and
their ability to generate forces. Muscle testing is
indicated in any individual with suspected or actual
impaired muscle performance, including strength, power,
or endurance. The effects of a stroke depend on several
factors, including the location of the obstruction and
how much brain tissue is affected. The stroke occurred:
the right hemisphere, the left hemisphere, the
cerebellum or the brain stem. The chain of nerve cells
that runs from the brain through the spinal cord out to
the muscle is called the motor pathway. Normal muscle
function requires intact connections all along this
motor pathway. Damage at any point reduces the brain's
ability to control the muscle's movements. This reduced
efficiency causes weakness, also called paresis.The
role of the muscle system in spinal function has become
increasingly well acknowledged. This study will present
the validity and reliability of Manual Muscle Test (MMT)
as evaluation tool for the assessment of
musculoskeletal muscle weakness in stroke patients and
it will be analyzed using Cronbach�s Alpha. This study
will be held in RSUP Dr. Sardjito.
Objective: The main objective of this study is to
determine the validity and reliability of Manual Muscle
Test in stroke patients of RSUP Sardjito.
Method: This is an experimental research |
