Study Overview
Brief Summary
Aim: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of ROM exercises applied to individuals who had a stroke on functional independence and quality of life.
Design: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study Methods: The study was conducted with 80 individuals, 40 of whom were in the intervention group and 40 in the control group, who received inpatient treatment in the neurology service of a regional city hospital, and met the inclusion criteria. Planned ROM exercises were applied to the individuals in the intervention group 3 times a day for 2 weeks, and no application was made to the control group other than routine treatment. Data were collected by the researcher using the Questionnaire Form, Patient Information Form, Functional Independence Scale and Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale.

Arms & Interventions
Control Group
Patients in this group continued their routine medical treatment program without any treatment.
Intervention Group
Patients in this group continued their routine medical treatment program without any treatment. Moreover, ROM exercises were performed by the researcher and health personnel trained by the researcher 3 times a day for 2 weeks, approximately 30 minutes.
Intervention: ROM Exercises (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL)
Time Frame: When called for control at the end of the 4th week
The scale, which has a total of 49 items, consists of questions evaluating mobility, energy,
Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL)
Time Frame: When the first patient was included in the group.
The scale, which has a total of 49 items, consists of questions evaluating mobility, energy, upper extremity functioning, self-care, work/productivity, mood, social roles, family roles, vision, language, thinking, and personality traits. The items on the scale are scored according to a five-point Likert scale: 1. strongly agree, 2. partially agree, 3. undecided, 4. partially disagree, 5. strongly disagree.
