Background: Stroke is a neurological condition caused by arterial occlusion or hypoperfusion that leads to impaired neurological function and disability. Impaired physical mobility is a common consequence requiring targeted nursing interventions.
Objectives: This case study aims to describe a comprehensive nursing care process for a stroke patient with impaired physical mobility through structured Range of Motion (ROM) therapy.
Methods: A descriptive case study was conducted on one ischemic stroke patient. Data were obtained via interviews, physical assessment, observation, and documentation. ROM therapy was implemented following a detailed SOP, including passive and active-assistive movements, performed daily for 10–15 minutes.
Results: Muscle strength improved from Grade 3 to Grade 4 in both left upper and lower extremities after three days of intervention.
Conclusion: ROM therapy was effective in increasing muscle strength. Further research with longer durations and larger samples is recommended.
