Introduction. COVID-19 patient not only experienced respiratory manifestation, but they also generate generalized muscle weakness. This manifestation results in deterioration of physical capacity. Methods. This cross-sectional study identified the characters of COVID-19 patient based on their age, gender, severity of disease and whether they have comorbidities or not. This study also described the functional capacity using a modified 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test (m30STS) and chest expansion measured at three levels (axillary, nipple, and xiphisternum). Result. M30STS was one of reliable measure that used for physical or functional capacity. Chest wall expansion determines lung volume and functional capacity as well. Eighty-five subjects in isolation ward were enrolled. This study shows there is reduction of functional capacity in COVID-19 patients. Majority of subjects tend to reached lower number of repetitions in m30STS or about 10.37 times in average. Clonclusion. The thoracic expansion was reduced below normal range in all subjects.
Management Of Activity Therapy In Activities Using Bra With Bobath Concept In Stroke Patients Hemiparesis Synthesis In Clinical Sasana Husada. Stroke is brain attack due to vascular injury that can damage the brain permanently because of neurologist disorder. The purpose of this intervention is to improve patient's ability to wear bras according to Occupation Therapy's view. The method that will be used to improve the patient ability who suffer from function disorder, movement, and control due to the lesion in the central nerve system is Bobath Concept. By giving eight times intervention, it can be seen that there is improvement postural control and less pain in the shoulder area when it moved. The result of this shows that there is no improvement yet in patient ability wearing bra because of fracture experienced by the patient.Keywords: Occupational Therapy, Stroke, Bras, Shoulder, Bobath Concept
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
