Abstract
The prevalence of stroke continues to increase with age. This research was conducted at
the Siti Hajar Hospital. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of ROM training on limb
muscle strength in stroke patients. This research design using quasi-experimental with a sample
size of 30 using one group pre-post design. The sampling technique was purposive sampling.
Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Match Pairs test. There was an increase in muscle after
intervention by 1.8, while muscle strength occurred up to condition 5 (normal) after intervention
was 40%.
Keywords: Range of Motion, Stroke, Muscle Strength
PENDAHULUAN
Stroke merupakan penyakit yang terjadi pada otak berupa gangguan fungsi syaraf lokal
dan global, munculnya mendadak, progresif, dan cepat. Gangguan fungsi syaraf pada stroke

disebabkan oleh gangguan perdarahan otak non traumatic yang menimbulkan gejala antara lain:
kelumpuhan wajah atau anggota badan, bicara tidak lancer, bicara tidak jelas (pelo, mungkin
perubahan kesadaran, gangguan penglihatan, dan lain-lain (Word Health Organization, 2014).
Pengabdian yang dilakukan di Desa Hamparan Perak Kecamatan hamparan Perak ditemukan
bahwa rata-rata lanjut usia di desa tersebut mengalami kasus stroke salah satunya adalah
kurangnya latihan ROM yang diberikan pada lansia yang mengalami gangguan stroke.
(Sulaiman, & Anggriani, 2019)
Penderita stroke perlu penanganan yang baik untuk mencegah kecacatan fisik dan mental.
Sebesar 30% - 40% penderita stroke dapat sembuh sempurna bila ditangani dalam waktu 6
jam pertama (golden periode), namun apabila dalam waktu tersebut pasien stroke tidak
mendapatkan penanganan yang maksimal maka akan terjadi kecacatan atau kelemahan fisik
seperti hemiparese. Penderita stroke post serangan membutuhkan waktu yang lama untuk
memulihkan dan memperoleh fungsi penyesuaian diri secara maksimal. Terapi dibutuhkan
segera untuk mengurangi cedera cerebral lanjut, salah satu program rehabilitasi yang dapat
diberikan pada pasien stroke yaitu mobilisasi persendian dengan latihan range of motion
(Anggriani, Zulkarnain, Sulaiman, 2018). Stroke juga sering terjadi pada lanjut usia disebabkan a
faktor postur tubuh dan keseimbangan lansia yang tidak normal sehingga terjadi resiko jatuh dan
mengakibatkan stroke (Sulaiman & Anggriani, 2018)
Range Of Motion (ROM) adalah batas atau besarnya gerakan sendi baik dan normal.
ROM juga di gunakan sebagai dasar untuk menetapkan adanya kelainan batas gerakan sendi
abnormal(Zairin Noor Helmi, 2011). Rentang gerak atau (Range Of Motion) adalah jumlah
pergerakan maksimum yang dapat di lakukan pada sendi, di salah satu dari tiga bidang yaitu:
sagital, frontal, atau transversal (Perry’s; & Potter, 2012). Berdasarkan gambaran diatas, peneliti
tertarik untuk meneliti “Efektivitas Latihan Range of Motion terhadap Kekuatan Otot pada
Pasien Stroke di RSU Siti Hajar Medan.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata (mean) peningkatan kekuatan otot antara sebelum
dan 7 hari sesudah diberikan intervensi sebesar 1,80. Terjadinya peningkatan kekuatan otot
dapat mengaktifkan gerakan volunter, dimana gerakan volunter terjadi adanya transfer impuls
elektrik dari girus presentalis ke korda spinalis melalui neurotransmiter yang mencapai ke otot
dan menstimulasi otot sehingga menyebabkan pergerakan (Perry’s; & Potter, 2012)
1. Hubungan Karakteristik Usia Responden Dengan Kejadian Stroke
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar responden berusia 51 sampai 60 tahun yaitu
sebanyak 10 orang (50%). Seseorang menderita stroke karena memiliki faktor risiko stroke. Usia
dikategorikan sebagai faktor risiko yang tidak dapat diubah. Semakin tua usia seseorang akan
semakin mudah terkena stroke Insiden stroke meningkat seiring dengan bertambahnya usia.
Setelah usia 55 tahun risiko stroke iskemik meningkat 2 kali lipat tiap dekade. Prevalensi
meningkat sesuai dengan kelompok usia yaitu 0,8% pada kelompok usia 18 sampai 44 tahun,
2,7% pada kelompok usia 45 sampai 64 tahun, dan 8,1% pada kelompok usia 65 tahun (Rizaldy
Pinzon, 2010).
Besar responden berjenis kelamin laki- laki sebanyak 12 orang (60%). Hasil tersebut
didukung oleh Junaidi (2008, hlm.9) dan Pinzon et. al. (2010, hlm.5), bahwa laki-laki cenderung
lebih tinggi untuk terkena stroke dibandingkan wanita, dengan perbandingan 1,3:1. Jenis
kelamin merupakan salah satu faktor risiko terjadinya stroke, selain faktor-faktor tambahan
lainnya yang dapat terjadinya stroke. Jenis kelamin laki-laki mudah terkena stroke. Hal ini
dikarenakan lebih tingginya angka kejadian faktor risiko stroke (misalnya hipertensi) pada laki-

laki (Rizaldy Pinzon, 2010). Begitu juga penelitian lainnya yang menyatakan bahwa dari jenis
kelamin laki-laki usia dia atas 55 tahun lebih rentan terkena serangan stroke sebanyak 55,4 %
dibandikan jenis kelamin perempuan dari 85 sampel (Sofyan, Sihombing, & Hamra, 2012). Hasil
penelitian ini sesuai dengan teori yang mengungkapkan bahwa serangan stroke lebih banyak
terjadi pada laki-laki dibandingkan perempuan (Ipaenin, 2018).
Latihan Range Of Motion memiliki pengaruh terhadap rentang gerak responden bila
dilakukan dengan frekuensi dua kali sehari dalam enam hari dan dengan waktu 10-15 menit
dalam sekali latihan (Chaidir Reny, 2014). Memperbaiki fungsi saraf merupakan tujuan
perawatan suportif dini melalui terapi fisik. ROM merupakan pergerakan persendian sesuai
dengan gerakan yang memungkinkan terjadinya kontraksi dan pergerakan otot baik secara pasif
maupun aktif (Perry’s; & Potter, 2012).
KESIMPULAN
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang sudah dilakukan pada 20 responden penderita stroke
yang dirawat inap di RSU Siti Hajar dapat diambil kesimpulan sebagai berikut :
1. Terdapat peningkatan otot sesudah dilakukan intervensi sebesar 1.80, sedangakan terjadi
kekuatan otot sampai dengan kondisi 5 (normal ) setelah dilakukan intervensi sebanyak 40%.
2. Latihan ROM sangat efektif untuk meningkatkan kekuatan otot bagi pasien

ABSTRACT
Clinical signs of loss of motor movement strength from impaired brain vascular disorders in
non-hemorrhagic strokes such as darkness that occurs on one side of the body, patients need
appropriate and rapid rehabilitation measures such as motion exercises. The purpose of this
study is to find out the effectiveness of Range Of Motion (ROM) fingers and spherical grip
on extremity strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients at K.R.M.T Wongsonegoro
Hospital Semarang. This research is an experimental study with the design of the control
group. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. The study's population was 32. The
intervention group (n=16) respondents were given ROM therapy exercises of fingers and
spherical grip, control group (n=16) respondents by giving ROM therapy exercise fingers.
Exercise is done 2 times a day and done in 3 days for 15-20 minutes each time. Data analysis
using Shapiro-Wilk, dependent paired t-test, and independent t-test. Statistical analysis
results obtained by the intervention group (Range Of Motion therapy exercises (ROM) of
the fingers of the hand and spherical grip exerted a more effective influence compared to the
administration of therapy on the control group (ROM) of the fingers of the hand) get an
average difference in extremity muscle strength with a p-value of 0.000. The administration
of spherical grip and Range Of Motion (ROM) therapy of the fingers of the hands is effective
against increased extremity strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients

BACKGROUND
Stroke is a neurological disorder that occurs due to impaired blood circulation to the
brain. Clinical symptoms occur suddenly and quickly resulting in acute brain damage and
local/global.(Gillen, 2015) Stroke sufferers have a motor disorder in the brain, causing
muscle atrophy. Muscle stiffness causes limited limbs in stroke sufferers.(Kusuma & Sara,
2020) Sudden attacks require stroke patients to get Range of Motion cylindrical grip
rehabilitation therapy where the exercise serves to improve musculoskeletal function and
assess strength with cylindrical objects. (Irawati et al., 2017)(Anggraini et al., 2018)
World Stroke Organization data shows that 13.7 million new cases of stroke each year
and 5.5 million deaths occur from stroke disease. About 70% of stroke diseases and 87% of
deaths and disabilities from stroke occur in low- and middle-income countries. Stroke as
part of cardiovascular disease is classified into catastrophic disease because it has a wide
economic and social impact. This stroke causes permanent disability which can certainly
affect the productivity of the sufferer. Nationally, the prevalence of stroke in Indonesia based
on the age of > 15 years is 10.9% or an estimated 2,120,363 people. (KEMENTERIAN
KESEHATAN REPUBLIK INDONESIA, 2018)
High cases of stroke prevalence in Indonesia, rehabilitation is seen as important in
treatment interventions in stroke patients. In non-hemorrhagic stroke patients after an attack
resulting in sensory and motor impairment, including balance disorders, muscle weakness,
and motor control disorders resulting in loss of coordination in the body(Nurtanti &
Ningrum, 2019). ROM is a rehabilitation exercise that can be given to non-hemorrhagic
stroke patients that aim to maintain and improve the level of ability to move joints (Kusuma
& Sara, 2020) .
Movement on the hands can be stimulated with the practice of grasping functions that
are through three stages, namely opening the hands, close the fingers to grasp the objects
and regulate grip power. (Mariyanto & Herisanti, 2019)
There is a problem that occurs in stroke patients, in this case, researchers provide
interventions that are expected to benefit stroke patients with Range of Motion exercises and
spherical grip on the strength of the extremities in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients at
K.R.M.T Wongsonegoro Hospital Semarang.
METHODS
This study used a quasi-experiment research design with a pre-post test design using a
control group. The sampling technique used is the total sampling and the number of samples
as many as 32 respondents. Normality test data used Shapiro-Wilk and influence test using
paired t-test and for effectiveness test using independent t-test. The sampling technique uses
purposive sampling techniques where the samples in this study are non-hemorrhagic stroke
patients who have muscle strength of 1-3, then divided into two groups, namely the
intervention group and the control group. The intervention group was 16 respondents and a
control group of 16 respondents. Exercise is done 2 times a day and done in 3 consecutive
days.
RESULT
In this study, the number of respondents was 32, with 16 respondents in the intervention
group, and respondents in the control group. the results of the researchers are spelled out in
each table
Based on table 1 it can be known that the number of respondents in this study as many
as 32 respondents. Based on the age status of the respondents in this study, the most
vulnerable were 56-60 years old as many as 10 respondents (31.2%), for ages 45-50 as much
as 3 respondents (9.4%), for ages 51-55 as much as 5 respondents (15.6%), for ages 61-65
as much as 9 respondents (28.1%), and ages 65-70 as much as 3 respondents (9.4%), and for
ages 71-75 as many as 2 respondents (6.2%). The characteristics of respondents based on
gender in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients for the male gender were 13 respondents (40.6%),
and for women, as many as 19 respondents (59.4%), and the characteristics of weakness
experienced by non-hemorrhagic stroke patients were found to be the result between right
extremity disorder and left extremity which is the same, for the right extremity as much as
16 weakness of the right extremity sufferer (50%) and 16 sufferers of leftist weakness (50%).
Based on Table 2 indicates that the frequency distribution of extremity strength before
the range of motion (ROM) therapy of the fingers with spherical grip therapy in the
intervention group that the average extremity strength before being given therapy amounted
to 17,019, While the lowest extremity strength score was 2.2 and the highest extremity
strength score was 27.0, and after being given the average extremity strength therapy in the
intervention group of 17,437, the lowest extremity strength score was 2.4 and the highest
extremity strength score was 27.6
Based on Table 3, indicates that the frequency distribution of extremity strength before
the range of motion (ROM) therapy was performed by the fingers in the control group that
the average extremity strength before being administered therapy was 12,019, while the
lowest extremity strength score was 3.2 and the highest extremity strength score was 20.3,
and after being administered the average extremity strength therapy in the control group was
12,125. The lowest extremity strength value is 3.2 and the highest extremity strength value
is 20.4.
Table 4. Independent t-test in the intervention and control group after therapy
Based on Table 4 shows that there are differences in the effectiveness of extremity forces in
intervention groups and control groups as evidenced by sig values. (2-tailed) 0.034 < 0.05,
it can be concluded Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected which means there is an average
difference between the effectiveness of strength in the intervention group and the control
group in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients at K.R.M.T Wongsonegoro Hospital Semarang.
Based on Table 5, showed that there were differences in the effectiveness of extremity
strength in the intervention group and the control group as evidenced by the p-value
¬0.000<0.05 of this table also found differences in the average value of extremity strength
between the intervention and control groups, where the intervention group had a difference
in extremity strength before and after the administration of therapy of 0.418 and in the
control group before and after the administration of therapy of 0.106. Based on the average
difference in therapeutic administration given to non-hemorrhagic stroke patients for the two
groups, the administration of range of motion (ROM) exercises with spherical grip
(intervention group) was more effective at increasing extremity strength for non-
hemorrhagic stroke patients than giving range of motion (ROM) exercises to the fingers
(control group).
DISCUSSION
In the results of the study, the increase in extremity strength with the mean value rising
to 0.313 proved that the administration of ROMs with spherical grip exercises by grasping
spiked balls is more effective in increasing the value of extremity strength. Range Of Motion
(ROM) exercises of the fingers with Sphericalgrip can cause stimulation, thus increasing
stimulation in the nerves of the extremity muscles, therefore by training the Range Of
Motion (ROM) of the fingers with Sphericalgrip regularly with the correct steps i.e. by
moving the joints and muscles, then the strength of the extremities will
increase.(Sukmaningrum et al., 2012)(Olviani et al., 2017) Movement exercises, especially
the range of motion for non-hemorrhagic stroke patients, can increase the patient's
independence (SRI, 2019), with exercises in motion, muscles also prevent muscle stiffness,
promote blood circulation, and increase muscle life and minimize physical defects so that
they can undergo normal activity.(Anggraini et al., 2018; Sofiana, 2018) This is done
regularly so the muscle tolerance to perform movement increases (Nurtanti & Ningrum,
2019; SRI, 2019).(Mardati et al., 2014; Olviani et al., 2017; Sukmaningrum et al., 2012)
The results showed that range of motion therapy exercises (ROMs) with spherical
grips was more effective at increasing extremity strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients
compared to Range Of Motion (ROM) therapy exercises of the fingers as evidenced by sig
values. (2-tailed) 0.034 < 0.05, it can be concluded Ha is accepted, and H0 is rejected which
means there is an average difference between the effectiveness of strength in the intervention
group and the control group in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients at K.R.M.T Wongsonegoro
Hospital Semarang. The theory states that the range of motion (ROM) exercises of the
fingers with spherical grip is a functional exercise of the hand by grasping an object shaped
round like a rubber ball on the palm of the hand. Movement on the hands can be stimulated
by the practice of grasping functions performed through three stages, namely, opening
hands, closing fingers to grasp objects, and adjusting the grip strength.(SRI, 2019;
Sukmaningrum et al., 2012) This is in combination with the theory of Newton III's Law
which explains the same style of action as the reaction style, which can be applied to
respondents who exercise using heavier objects will result in greater and maximum effort
than just range of motion therapy exercises of the fingers alone. when the training
respondents used rubber balls, the resulting power was greater and the contractions that
occurred were stronger resulting in an increase in the motor unit to produce acetylcholine,
resulting in contraction (Olviani et al., 2017) Mechanisms through more impact on
improved muscle strength (Mardati et al., 2014; Sukmaningrum et al., 2012)
Range Of Motion (ROM) training is an exercise that aims to reduce contractions and
provide joint flexibility in extremities who have suffered a stroke.(Kusuma & Sara, 2020)
The administration of a range of motion (ROM) of the fingers and spherical grip is proven
in improving the value of extremity strength function in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients
(Mardati et al., 2014). Based on the results of the study in the intervention group who had
been given exercise therapy Range Of Motion (ROM) fingers with spherical grip in getting
an average extremity strength was 17,437 and in the control group that had been given Range
Of Motion therapy (ROM) the fingers in the average extremity strength was 12,125. Judging
by the results of the study after being given therapy in the control group and the intervention
group both experienced muscle strength in respondents. It can be concluded that with
exercise therapy Range Of Motion (ROM) fingers with Sphericalgrip therapy (intervention
group) there is a significant difference in strength compared to just giving exercise therapy
Range Of Motion (ROM) fingers only in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients(Mariyanto &
Herisanti, 2019; Sofiana, 2018)
According to the results of the study obtained by researchers, there was an increase in
extremity strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients after being given range of motion
(ROM) exercise therapy with spherical grip therapy twice a day conducted in the morning
and evening in 15 minutes for 3 consecutive days. The above opinion is supported that the
mechanism of motor neutrons can increase smooth muscles in the extremities. Active
Assistive Range Of Motion (ROM) exercises can cause stimulation, which can increase
muscle tone(Olviani et al., 2017; Sukmaningrum et al., 2012).
CONCLUSION
The administration of exercise therapy in the intervention group (Range Of Motion (ROM)
therapy exercises of the fingers and spherical grip exerts a more effective influence
compared to the administration of therapy in the control group (ROM) of the fingers of the
hand) get an average difference in extremity muscle strength with a p-value of 0.000. From
the results of this study, it is expected that the next study can conduct research by using or
adding other variables with better research design by maintaining the characteristics of the
respondents, more attention to the Operational Standard procedure (SOP) flow policy from
the Hospital in the rehabilitation process, and pay more attention to the homogeneity of
respondents to be taken for the research sample, and further research can apply other ROM
movements that further accelerate restoring the part that is experiencing weakness
(hemiparesis).
