ABSTRACT
Non-hemorrhagic stroke in the early phase is often accompanied by upper-extremity weakness, which may limit patients’ movement and daily activities. This condition provides a context for applying ROM exercise with a rubber ball as part of nursing care. This study aimed to describe the application of ROM exercise with a rubber ball and changes in muscle strength among patients with early-phase non-hemorrhagic stroke and impaired physical mobility. A descriptive case study was conducted in the Stroke Unit of RSUD Dr. Kanujoso Djatiwibowo Balikpapan from June 10 to 23, 2026, involving three patients. The exercise was conducted for three days using eight rubber-ball gripping patterns on the weakened upper extremity, with a frequency of 3–4 sessions per day and a duration of 1–2 minutes for each movement. Patients’ condition and tolerance, vital signs, and muscle strength were monitored throughout the intervention. Muscle strength was assessed using the Medical Research Council Muscle Scale (MRC), and changes in scores were examined descriptively. On the third day, Mr. T’s MRC score increased from 4 to 5, while Ms. E’s and Ms. T’s scores each increased from 3 to 4. Thus, all three patients experienced a one-point increase from their baseline scores. These findings describe changes observed during the exercise period but do not constitute evidence of causal effectiveness. The exercise may be considered as supportive mobilization according to the patient’s condition and tolerance.
ABSTRAK
Stroke non-hemoragik pada fase awal sering disertai kelemahan ekstremitas atas yang dapat membatasi gerak dan aktivitas pasien. Kondisi tersebut menjadi konteks penerapan ROM exercise dengan bola karet dalam asuhan keperawatan. Studi ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan penerapan ROM exercise dengan bola karet dan perubahan kekuatan otot pada pasien stroke non-hemoragik fase awal dengan gangguan mobilitas fisik. Studi kasus deskriptif dilakukan di Unit Stroke RSUD Dr. Kanujoso Djatiwibowo Balikpapan pada 10–23 Juni 2026 dengan tiga pasien. Latihan dilakukan selama tiga hari melalui delapan pola genggaman bola karet pada ekstremitas atas yang mengalami kelemahan, dengan frekuensi 3–4 kali sehari dan durasi 1–2 menit untuk setiap gerakan. Kondisi dan toleransi pasien, tanda vital, serta kekuatan otot dipantau selama pelaksanaan. Kekuatan otot dinilai menggunakan Medical Research Council Muscle Scale (MRC) dan perubahan skor ditelaah secara deskriptif. Pada hari ketiga, Tn. T mengalami kenaikan skor MRC dari 4 menjadi 5, sedangkan Ny. E dan Ny. T masing-masing meningkat dari 3 menjadi 4. Dengan demikian, ketiga pasien mengalami kenaikan satu poin dari skor awal. Temuan ini menggambarkan perubahan yang teramati selama pelaksanaan latihan, tetapi belum menjadi bukti efektivitas kausal. Penerapan latihan dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai dukungan mobilisasi sesuai kondisi dan toleransi pasien.
