Application of Range Of Motion (ROM) Exercise to Increase Muscle Strength in Patients with Physical Mobility Disorders Due to Non-Hemorrhagic Stroke in the Garuda Health Center Work Area

Abstract

Non-hemorrhagic stroke is a disease caused by a narrowing of the blood vessels in
the brain resulting in obstructed blood and oxygen flow. Non-hemorrhagic stroke
causes facial paralysis, weakness in the arms, difficulty speaking. Treatment of Non
Hemorrhagic Stroke clients in a nonpharmacological way that has minimal side
effects, one of which is Range Of Motion (ROM) training to increase muscle
strength. The purpose of this case study is to describe how the application of Range
Of Motion (ROM) exercises to increase muscle strength in patients with impaired
physical mobility due to non-hemorrhagic stroke. The method used is descriptive
using qualitative research methods. The subjects in this study were two people who
suffered from Non Hemorrhagic Stroke. The implementation of Range Of Motion
(ROM) exercises is done by measuring the value of muscle strength before and after
being given range of motion exercises which are carried out within 20 minutes for
7 consecutive days. The results showed that there was an increase in the 2 subjects,
where in the first subject there was an increase in muscle strength value from scale
3 to scale 4 and for the second subject there was also an increase in muscle strength
from scale 3 to scale 4. There are changes in increasing muscle strength in the
provision of Range Of Motion (ROM) exercises in patients with impaired physical
mobility due to Non Hemorrhagic Stroke. Therefore, it is hoped that Range Of
Motion (ROM) exercises can be applied as a means in non-pharmacological therapy
in patients with Non Hemorrhagic Stroke with physical mobility problems.
