Abstract:
Stroke is a severe medical condition that occurs due to the interruption of blood supply to the brain, either through blockage (ischemic stroke) or rupture of blood vessels (hemorrhagic stroke). With more than 15 million cases each year worldwide, stroke is a leading cause of disability and death, with a significant impact on patients' quality of life. In Indonesia, the prevalence of stroke is very high, especially among adult patients, which contributes to the high mortality and disability rates. This study aims to evaluate the effect of Range of Motion Exercises on the physical condition and quality of life of post-stroke patients at the Rehabilitation Polyclinic of Royal Prima Hospital Medan. Using a correlational descriptive research design with the One Group Pretest-Posttest approach, this study involved 30 respondents who underwent a range of motion exercises. The results of the analysis showed that before the intervention, the majority of patients were in the poor quality of life category. However, after undergoing a rehabilitation program, there was a significant improvement in the patient's quality of life, where 50% of the respondents reported an excellent quality of life. This study indicates that range of motion exercises are effective in improving the quality of life of stroke patients, which has the potential to make an essential contribution to the development of stroke rehabilitation programs in Indonesia.
