Background: Decreased functional ability in the post-Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a disorder in the knee that experiences stiffness due to postoperative inflammation and by providing Progressive Resistance Exercise (PRE) only increases leg muscle strength but has not been able to stimulate proprioceptive in helping to improve functional ability.Purpose: to prove the addition of Prorioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) techniques to standard physiotherapy exercises further improved functional ability scores compared to the addition of Progressive Resistance Exercise (PRE) to standard physiotherapy exercises in postoperative patients with total knee replacement. Method: Experimental research with a group pre-post test design. The number of research samples is 20 people and divided into two groups. Group 1 received Progressive Resistance Exercise (PRE) and standard physiotherapy exercises, while Group 2 received Prorioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and standard physiotherapy exercise, measuring functional ability with WOMAC Test after Total Knee Replacement (TKR).Results: Paired t-test in the two groups with a significance value of p = 0.001 (p <0.05) and independent t-test results in the two groups with a significance value of p = 0.001 (p <0.05) so that the results in the two groups there was a significant increase. Conclusion: The addition of PNF techniques to physiotherapy standard exercises further improves functional ability scores compared to the addition of PRE techniques to standard physiotherapy exercises in post knee surgery patients in Denpasar.
