Background: Stroke remains a major health issue both in Indonesia and globally. Non-hemorrhagic stroke is a leading cause of physical disability, resulting in decreased muscle strength and motor function. Physical rehabilitation, including Range of Motion (ROM) exercises, plays a crucial role in the recovery of stroke patients by restoring muscle function and improving muscle strength. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ROM exercises in improving muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients with physical mobility impairment. Methods: A descriptive study with a case study approach was conducted on one non-hemorrhagic stroke patient who was given passive ROM exercises for 7 days, with a frequency of twice a day (morning and evening). The instruments used included Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and a Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) observation sheet to assess muscle strength before and after the passive ROM intervention. Results: The study showed a significant increase in muscle strength after ROM exercises. Muscle strength consistently improved throughout the intervention, indicating that ROM exercises are effective in enhancing muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients. Conclusion: Regular ROM exercises can increase muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients. Initially, the patient's left extremity muscle strength was at a scale of 3, and after 7 days of ROM exercises, it improved to a scale of 4.

Differences in functional prognosis for patients with hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic strokes are unclear. The purpose of this study is to compare the functional outcome of hemorrhagic and nonhemorrhagic stroke patients after inpatient stroke rehabilitation. By retrospective review, 25 hemorrhagic stroke patients were matched with 25 nonhemorrhagic stroke patients on the basis of age and onset to admission interval. Discharge Functional Independence Measure (FIM), FIM gain, FIM efficiency, length of stay (LOS), and discharge disposition were compared. Admission FIM, gender, and comorbidities were similar between the two groups. There were no differences in discharge FIM, FIM gain, and discharge to home rates between groups. However, the hemorrhagic group had a significantly shorter LOS (31.7 v 37.6 days; P = 0.05) with higher FIM-total efficiency (0.84 v 0.60; P = 0.02). The FIM-motor scale accounted for most of the gains in efficiency (0.71 v 0.53; P = 0.05) with no significant difference in FIM-cognition efficiency between groups. Post hoc analysis revealed that onset to admission interval was a strong predictor of LOS (r = 0.62; P < 0.0001). Hemorrhagic stroke patients appear to exhibit functional gains somewhat faster than nonhemorrhagic counterparts. Confirmation of these preliminary findings must await future studies.
