A stroke is an injury to the brain caused by a blockage obstruction of blood flow to the brain. Weakness in the limbs is often found in patients with strokes. Range Of Motion therapy may help to increase the muscle strength that is experencing weakness, avoiding complications from inactivity, such us contractions. This study aims to describe the effect of ROM Therapy in stroke patients with impaired physical mobility. The design of the scientific essay was a case study of two stroke clients who had msucle weakness. A research instrument is an obsevation sheet on the scale of the muscle strength. This case study was conducted for six days of ROM therapy with a frequency of twice a day.The case study result showed that two respondents experienced an increase in muscle strength after ROM therapy. This study concludes that ROM therapy may increase muscle strength among stroke patients. Stroke patient families are expected to assist and support the patient during Range Of Motion exercises.Keywords: Muscle weakness strength, Range Of Motion, Stroke. Abstrak Stroke merupakan keadaan cidera pada otak yang disebabkan sumbatan atau obstruksi aliran darah menuju otak. Kelemahan pada anggota gerak sering dijumpai pada pasien dengan stroke. Pemberian terapi Range Of Motionbermanfaat untuk meningkatkan kekuatan otot yang mengalami kelemahan, menghindari komplikasi akibat kurang gerak, seperti kontraktur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan penerapan terapi ROM pada pasien stroke dengan gangguan mobilitas fisik. Desain karya tulis ilmiah berupa studi kasus pada 2 klien stroke yang mengalami masalah kelemahan otot. Instrumen penelitian berupa lembar observasi mengenai skala kekuatan otot. Studi kasus ini dilakukan selama 6 hari dengan frekuensi 2 kali sehari dengan intervensi penerapan terapi Range Of Motion (ROM). Hasil studi kasus menunjukan masalah gangguan mobilitas fisik yang dialami kedua responden mengalami peningkatan kekuatan setelah dilakukan terapi ROM. Kesimpulan terapi Range Of Motion(ROM) dapat untuk mningkatkan kekuatan otot pada pasien stroke. Saran bagi keluarga diharapkan keluarga untuk selalu melakukan pendampingan saat dilakukaSaran bagi keluarga diharapkan keluarga untuk selalu melakukan pendampingan saat dilakukan implementasi agar dapat menjadi supporting sistem bagi pasien dan dapat mengerti sehingga dapat membantu klien dalam melakukan latihan rentang gerak otot.Kata kunci: Kelemahan kekuatan otot, Range Of Motion, Stroke.
