Abstract

Background: Stroke is a disorder of the cerebrovascular system (brain blood vessels), characterized by reduced or obstructed blood and oxygen flow to the brain, resulting in damage or death of brain tissue and impaired brain function. When blood arteries in the brain narrow, become blocked, or bleed due to a ruptured blood vessel, blood flow to the brain can be reduced. Non-hemorrhagic stroke is characterized by a sudden drop in blood pressure, tachycardia, paleness, and irregular breathing. Purpose: Rubber ball grip exercises aim to stimulate motor skills in the hand by gripping a ball. Ball grip exercises with a flexible and smooth texture can stimulate muscle fibers to contract. The presence of hand muscle contractions will make the hand muscles stronger because the contractions are produced by an increase in motor units produced by acetylcholine. Method: This study uses a case study nursing care approach with research subjects of non - hemorrhagic stroke patients who underwent ball grip therapy who were suffering from stroke in the Lotus Room of Wonosari Regional Hospital who had met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients who will be respondents are only 2 respondents. Result: Based on the results of the case study, it can be concluded that the application of ball grip on muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patients is a non-pharmacological therapy used to increase muscle strength in non-hemorrhagic stroke patien
