EFEKTIFITAS RANGE OF MOTION (ROM) AKTIF TERHADAP PENINGKATAN KEKUATAN OTOT PADA LANSIA STROKE DI DESA PAKIS KABUPATEN MALANG

Background:Stroke is a neurological disease that attacks the blood vessels in the brain which can cause muscle weakness or motor disorders. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of active range of motion (ROM) in increasing muscle strength in stroke patients in Pakis Village, Malang Regency.
Methods:This research uses a case study on Mrs. A, a 65 year old elderly who had a stroke 2 years ago. This research was conducted in Pakis village, Malang Regency. The nursing steps taken include collecting disease history data, physical examination, determining a nursing diagnosis, planning nursing interventions in the form of active ROM exercises, and evaluation. Muscle strength is measured using the manual muscle test (MMT).
Results: Evaluation of Mrs. A after receiving active ROM exercises for 3 days for approximately 15-20 minutes each day showed that there was no increase in muscle strength, but the patient felt better after carrying out ROM exercises on the muscles of the right arm and leg that had been affected by the stroke. It can be concluded that active ROM training is useful for increasing muscle strength in stroke patients.
Conclusion: Range of Motion (ROM) training carried out for 3 days for approximately 15-20 minutes has been shown to increase muscle strength in stroke patients.
