Abstract :
Stroke is a clinical manifestation that has a sudden onset, is rapidly progressive,
in the form of vocal and global (overall) neurological deficits that lasts more than
24 hours or directly causes death and is caused by non-traumatic blood
circulation disorders to the brain. The main problems that arise in stroke patients
are hemiparase (weakness) and hemiplegia (paralysis). One of the rehabilitation
programs for stroke patients is exercise. Exercise (exercise) active in stroke
patients will have the effect of increasing function and motor skills. The purpose
of this literature is to determine exercise in increasing muscle strength in stroke
patients. This research method is using literature review. The search for articles
using the Google Scholar database with keywords that meet the inclusion and
exclusion criteria is then reviewed. Each of these articles discusses the effect of
ROM exercise, gripping a rubber ball, stretching exercise, and mirror therapy on
increasing muscle strength in stroke patients. Based on the results of the study of
the four articles, it can be concluded that ROM exercise, rubber ball grip,
stretching exercise, and mirror therapy have an effect on increasing muscle
strength. Based on this, the four exercises are expected to be applied maximally in
the rehabilitation process of post-stroke patients.
