Methodology/Approach – The method used in writing is a case report which was carried out for 6 days with Active ROM combination squishy intervention.
Findings– The results of this scientific work show that with the active ROM combination squishy intervention for 6 days, there is a significant increase in muscle strength in the right upper extremity before the intervention is worth 2 and after the intervention is worth 4.
Conclusion– The effectiveness of the application of nursing care standards in increasing muscle strength given to patients shows a change in muscle strength on the third day to the fifth day with a muscle strength value of 3 and the sixth day with a muscle strength value of 4.
