<![CDATA[Abstract: Ischemic stroke is a disruption of blood supply to the brain which results in stoppage of blood flow and blood clots that cause atherosclerosis. Ischemic stroke patients can be given training or therapy to help maintain or increase muscle strength with range of motion. Range of motion is usually given during the recovery period or when the patient's condition has improved with a frequency of twice a day in 10-15 minutes. This study aims to determine the effect of range of motion on muscle strength in Balige HKBP General Hospital. This type of research uses one group pretest-posttest and the sample used in this study amounted to 30 people, and the total sampling used in sampling techniques in thepopulation. Data collection was carried out by questionnaire, observation and interview as well as data testing which was carried out using the Wilcoxon test. From the test results obtained a significant effect of 0,000. That is, there are differences in muscle strength before and after given the range of Motion. This proves that Range of Motion affects the increase in respondent's limb muscle strength. The hospital is expected to make an SPO in the handling of rehabilitation of ischemic stroke patients to maintain and increase muscle strength.Keywords: Range of Motion, Muscle Strength, Ischemic Stroke.]]>
