KOMBINASI LATIHAN ROM (RANGE OF MOTION) DAN GENGGAM BOLA KARET TERHADAP PENINGKATAN KEKUATAN OTOT PADA PASIEN STROKE Di Ruang Patimura RSUD Kanjuruhan Kab. Malang

Background : The number of stroke sufferers increases from year to year from 7% to 10.9%. Stroke patients experience a decrease in muscle strength in the extremities, which affects daily activities and the quality of life of stroke patients, so intervention is needed to overcome this problem. With the aim of increasing muscle strength in the extremities in stroke patients after a combination of ROM (Range of Motion) exercises and holding a rubber ball.
Method : The research method used in preparing this final scientific work uses a case study report with two cases of stroke patients, patient 1 (Mrs. K) and patient 2 (Mr. M).The author follows the scientific method according to the rules of the nursing process including: Assessment, data analysis, nursing intervention, nursing implementation, and evaluation
Result : The research results after observing nursing care for four days showed that in the first case muscle strength increased, extremity movement and ROM range of motion increased quite significantly. Meanwhile, the results in the second case did not improve until the fourth day
Discussion : ROM (Range of Motion) training with a rubber ball can overcome physical mobility problems because it can increase muscle strength values at the extremities, extremity movement and ROM range of motion in stroke patients.
