<em><span lang="EN">ROM training is a form of exercise in the rehabilitation process which is considered to be quite influential in preventing disability in stroke sufferers. ROM therapy is divided into active ROM and passive ROM and is usually carried out in patients with decreased consciousness, patients unable to perform some or all range of motion exercises independently, patients on total bed rest or patients with total extremity paralysis. Complications that will occur in stroke sufferers include musculoskeletal complications that will occur, such as contractures, osteoporosis and falls. Everyone has risk factors for fracture because trauma can happen to anyone. The elderly are one of the age groups that have a higher risk of fracture. The aim of this manuscript is to provide Range of Motion (ROM) therapy to elderly patients post stroke and pelvic fracture.
