Summary

It will be a randomized control trial with 112 patients which will be divided into two groups of 56 patients in each group. Participants will recruit through convenient sampling techniques. Outcome measures are range of motion and spasticity. The protocol was implemented three days per week for eight consecutive weeks. Data will be collected at baseline and 8 th week after intervention.

Detailed description

Objective of the study is to compare the effects of the agonist contract-relax technique versus the antagonist contract-relax technique on spasticity and range of motion in individuals with chronic stroke. Null hypothesis (H0): There are no comparative effects of agonist contact-relax technique and the antagonist contract-relax technique on spasticity and ankle range of motion in chronic patients. The alternate hypothesis (HA): There are comparative effects of agonist contract-relax technique and the antagonist contract-relax technique on spasticity and ankle range of motion in chronic stroke patients. The sample size came out to 94 (47 in each group) after adding 20% dropout the sample size was 47+9=56 in each group.

Conditions

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Routine physical therapy	Both groups received routine physical therapy, which encompasses various components such as electrotherapy, strength training for both lower and upper limbs, gait training, and occupational therapy.
OTHER	antagonist contract relax	antagonist contraction i used to improve spasticity and range of motion in stroke patients
OTHER	agonist contract relax	agonist contraction is used to improve spasticity and range of motion in stroke patients
