Pengelolaan Asuhan Keperawatan Pasien Stroke dengan Penurunan Kekuatan Otot Menggunakan Metode Range of Motion (ROM) di Lingkungan IX Kelurahan Tanjung Rejo Kecamatan Medan Sunggal

Abstract

Stroke is a functional brain disorder that occurs suddenly with focal or global clinical signs lasting more than 24 hours without signs of non-vascular causes, including signs of subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, ischemia or cerebral infarction. Stroke patients who experience weakness on one side of the body are caused by decreased muscle strength, so they are unable to move their bodies or immobilize them. Muscle strength is the ability of a muscle or muscle group to produce tension and power if there is maximum effort, both dynamically and statically. This requires the existence of a treatment technique to increase the patient's muscle strength scale. Approaches that can be given can be through pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. One of the non-pharmacological techniques is ROM exercise therapy. The purpose of this study was to carry out nursing care by carrying out ROM therapy to increase the patient's muscle strength scale. Assessment of muscle strength using the Schwenker Scala. The practice location is in Environment IX, Tanjung Rejo Village, Medan Sunggal District. ROM therapy is given to 5 clients with post stroke and implementation is carried out for 3 days. ROM exercises are given with the aim of increasing the client's muscle strength scale. After doing ROM exercises, it was found that the client's muscle strength scale increased, the stiffness in the client's extremities decreased.
