| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Stroke is a disease that occurs due to blockage/disruption of
blood flow to the brain, which can cause brain tissue death. Ischemic stroke is
caused by a sudden loss of blood to the brain and will cause loss of nerve
function to paralysis so that stroke patients experience mobility limitations. To
overcome this problem can be done with passive range of motion therapy.
Method: the method used in this study is a literature review. The source of the
article uses the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Result: Based on 8
journals obtained and reviewed, the results show that passive range of motion
therapy is effective for increasing muscle strength in ischemic stroke patients.
This exercise can stimulate muscle, which can increase neuromuscular,
muscle and chemical activity. Conclusion: Passive range of motion therapy
has benefits for increasing muscle strength. In addition, this therapy can also
avoid complications of ischemic stroke due to physical mobility barriers
experienced by clients such as limitations of some or all of the range of
motion, stiffness, muscle weakness, postural disorders, muscle atrophy, pain,
joint contractures that can cause disturbances in activities daily living (ADL). | en_US |
