Globally, the prevalence of total joint replacement (TKR) procedures has been rising, providing patients with better joint function, decreased pain, and enhanced quality of life. A thorough and successful postoperative rehabilitation program, which attempts to restore optimal function and lower the risk of problems related to the treatment, is necessary for the success of total knee replacement (TKR) procedures. After total knee replacement, postoperative rehabilitation is a crucial stage in the patient's healing process. Normal knee function is frequently hampered by issues like pain management, muscular weakness, joint stiffness, and proprioceptive deficiencies. Therefore, choosing a suitable rehabilitation regimen is crucial.
The main objective of this study is to compare two different rehabilitation strategies: Muscle Energy Techniques with Balance Exercises and High Intensity Strength Training with Balance Exercises. The research aims to maximize postoperative results for patients who have undergone total knee replacement surgery.
The focus on resistance exercises intended to improve muscle strength and power is what defines high intensity strength training, or HIST. Research has indicated that HIST is beneficial in enhancing joint stability, muscle function, and overall functional outcomes across a range of orthopedic groups. Its precise use and effect on patients recovering from TKR surgery, however, need further investigation. In order to increase joint mobility, lessen pain, and improve neuromuscular control, patients who get Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) actively participate in targeted muscle contractions. MET has demonstrated potential in treating muscular imbalances.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| ROM | An instrument called a goniometer will be used to measure angles or rotate objects into desired positions. In orthopedics, it is primarily used to quantify joint angles. Changes from the baseline was taken. | 4th week |
| Functional Status: Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis outcome score | The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is a questionnaire designed to assess short and long-term patient-relevant outcomes following knee injury. Scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale, with zero representing extreme knee problems and 100 representing no knee problems as common in orthopedic scales, and generic measures. Scores between 0 and 100 represent the percentage of the total possible score achieved. | 4th week |
| Pain : Numeric Pain Rating Scale | A simple tool for measuring pain intensity is the Numeric Pain Rating Scale. This grading system has eleven points: zero represents no pain, and ten represents the "worst pain imaginable or highest level of discomfort. Changes from the baseline was taken. | 4th week |
