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.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Being over 18 years old,
* Coming to the hospital within 72 hours of having a stroke,
* A definitive diagnosis of Cerebrovascular Diseases according to the diagnostic criteria,
* Having a hemiplegic condition,
* Having a score of 13 or higher on the Glasgow Coma Scale,
* Not to be involved in any special exercise program other than the service routine,
* Having approval from the clinician about there is no harm in doing ROM exercises,
* Agreeing to participate in the study

* Those with psychiatric illnesses,
* Those who have any extremity amputated,
* Those who have open wounds that prevent exercise and cause bleeding,
* Those with fractures in their body and those who had an orthopedic operation
