The 2018 RISKESDAS results showed that the prevalence of stroke cases in Indonesia was 10.9%. Stroke has a lot of impact on patients and their families. Progressive muscle relaxation therapy is one of the therapies that can be used to increase the muscle strength of the elderly after a non-hemorrhagic stroke by relaxing and tensing the body’s muscles. Purpose: The study aimed to apply progressive muscle relaxation therapy to increase muscle strength in the elderly after a non-hemorrhagic stroke. Method: The study was descriptive research with a case study approach. The subjects were the elderly after a non-hemorrhagic stroke. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, physical examinations, and documentation studies. Result: Before applying the therapy, the patients’ muscle strength value was 3; the patients’ hand grip was weak. After doing the therapy for 3 days, the patients’ muscle strength was still 3, but the patients’ hand grip felt tight. Conclusion: The elderly people after non-hemorrhagic stroke are recommended to do progressive muscle relaxation therapy once a day with a duration of 15-20 minutes to stimulate the muscles so that it can increase their muscle strength.
