THE EFFECT OF RANGE OF MOTION ON JOINT RANGE OF MOTION IN POST-STROKE PATIENTS IN THE PHYSIOTHERAPY ROOM OF HJ BUNDA HALIMAH HOSPITAL, BATAM CITY IN 2025

Abstract

Based on the results of a preliminary survey conducted by researchers at the Hj. Bunda​ Halimah Batam Hospital, it is known that patient post stroke experience decline range movement joints in the extremities on accompanied by with weakness muscle so that joint No can moved normally and inhibit activity everyday. For overcome condition said, practice range of motion used as intervention physiotherapy that maintains and improves flexibility joints patients. The purpose of this study known influence exercise range of motion to range movement joints in patients post- stroke in the Physiotherapy Room Hj. Bunda​ Halimah Batam Hospital Batam City. The research design uses quasy experiment with approach one group pretest- posttest. The population of this study as many as 138 patients post stroke with The research sample consisted of 48 selected respondents, use technique purposive sampling . The research instrument used sheet observation with tool measuring goniometry. Data analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test Pretest and Posttest. The results of the Paired Sample T-Test This show existence average increase in range movement joints pretest and posttest given exercise range of motion, with mark mean pretest shoulder flexion 113.54° and extension 108.02°, while the mean posttest shoulder flexion 139.38° and shoulder extension 140.83° with The average difference in increase was 25.84° in flexion and 32.81° in extension, respectively. The results were, p = 0.001 < 0.05 there was significant influence​ between exercise range of motion to increase range movement joints in patients post- stroke. It is hoped that for health workers, in particular power physiotherapist in apply exercise range of motion as one of the intervention therapy routine in patients post stroke for increase range movement joints and prevent stiffness joints patient.
