The main nursing diagnosis in accordance with the problem of immobilization in stroke patients is impaired physical mobility. One form of physiotherapy to restore muscle strength is Range Of Motion (ROM). Research Objectives: To determine the management of ROM and rubber ball grip exercises in stroke patients with impaired physical mobility. Research Methods: This is a literature study that summarizes several theoretical references and journals related to the theme. Results: From the eight articles, it showed that there was an effect on increasing muscle strength after ROM exercises and hand-held exercises with rubber balls. Conclusion: From these eight articles, it was shown that ROM exercises and hand-held exercises with rubber balls were effective in increasing muscle strength in stroke patients.]]>
