Abstract

Delayed Development (DD) is the classification of characteristics of children which is showed
a significant delay in one or more domains of cognitive development, emotional or physical. The problems
that arise in the DD are hypotonus of the muscles that cause delays in functional abilities of
children.
The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of Electrical Muscle Stimulation
(EMS)
to increase muscle tone of DD patients. Quasi-experimental research method using two pre and
post-test
group design. Sample of this research was 12 children 1-3 years of age. Measurement of
muscle
tone using a sphygmomanometer before and after treatment for 4 weeks. The effect measured
using
Wilcoxon tes and the different effect measured using Mann Whitney test. Wilcoxon test result
showed
that the effect of electrical muscle stimulation on muscle tone was seen from the right quadriceps
p value (p = 0.026), the left quadriceps (p = 0.024), right tibialis anterior (p = 0.024) and left tibialis
anterior
(p = 0.024). It can be concluded that there is an effect of Electrical Muscle stimulation on
increasing
the muscle tone in people with DD.
