Data analysis used the wilcoxon test. The result indicated the effect of passive ROM exercise on muscle strength with p-value of 0,001 in the upper extremity and p-value of 0,001 in the lower extremity. They also showed the effect of passive ROM exercise on the range of joint motion with p-value of 0,001 in the upper extremity and p-value of 0,001 in the lower extremity. ROM exercise could be recommended by the Nurse as a rehabilitation program for handling post-stroke patients.]]>
