The elderly people mostly decreased in the musculoskeletal system that caused by decrease of muscle mass. Range of motion exercises are carried out regularly can increase muscle strength in clients who has impairment or limited motor function. This study aims to determine the effect of active ROM to increasing limb muscle strength in the elderly people at UPTD PTW Nirwana Puri, Samarinda. This research used quasi experiment design with pre and post test without control design. Research respondents were 12 elderly people. Data collection techniques are  measurement, observation and documentation techniques. Active ROM is carried out 3 times a week with duration 30 minutes for 2 weeks. Data was analyzed using wilcoxon test. The results of this study was indicate that there have differences between muscle strength before and after ROM intervention, the right upper extremity with p = 0.01, upper left extremity with p = 0.03, lower right extremity with p = 0.02, left extremity below the value of  p = 0.01.  This study demonstrated  effectively of active ROM intervention in increasing limb muscle strength in the elderly people. The expectation that the results of this study can be used be standard operating procedure  in providing nursing care for the elderly.
