Abstract

Ischemic stroke is one of the main causes of disability in the elderly group which
has an impact on decreased motor and cognitive function. The post-stroke recovery
process requires non-pharmacological interventions that can be done independently
at home with family support. Brain Gym or brain gymnastics is a simple method
that has been proven to stimulate the integration of brain and body functions, as
well as improve balance, coordination, and concentration. This community service
activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of post-ischemic stroke sufferers
and their families in implementing Brain Gym as part of independent rehabilitation
efforts. The implementation method includes providing education through
interactive lectures, demonstrations of Brain Gym movements, and direct practice
sessions guided by the implementation team. The activity was carried out in
Candirejo Village, Semarang Regency, involving 25 participants consisting of
stroke survivors, family members, and health cadres. The eval_uation was carried
out using a pre-test and post-test which showed an increase in participants'
knowledge scores by 35%. The results of the activity showed that Brain Gym
counseling was effective in increasing participants' understanding and motivation
to do routine exercises at home. This activity is expected to support the
rehabilitation process and improve the quality of life of post-stroke sufferers in a
sustainable manner.
