This study aims to determine the implementation of nursing care with active and passive motion exercises for impaired physical mobility in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in the work area at Taba Health Center, Lubuklinggau City, in 2022. The method used is descriptive in the form of a case study with two clients experiencing rheumatoid disease as subjects. arthritis with impaired physical mobility problems that experience joint stiffness. The results showed that after being given active and passive motion training therapy, muscle strength increased.
