Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT)  Modified CIMT (m-CIMT) will be performed in this study without restricting the non- paretic limb but encouraging the patients to use the paretic limb, and by reducing the rigorous practice schedule. Under the m-CIMT following activities will be performed: 1. sit to stand transfers by using a suitable chair (controlling the position of the paretic leg), 5–10 times per day and progressing as per need. 2. Indoor walking training under physical therapy guidance, 5-7 min and progressing as per need. 3. climbing up and down stairs training for 5-7 steps/time and progressing as per need. 4. Balance training 5. One leg weight training on paretic and non-paretic leg 6. Muscle strength training Progression as per need. Duration of treatment will be 45-60 min including 6 min of rest period in between as per the patients requirement, for 5 days a week for a total duration of approximately 4 weeks. 
Intervention  Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation  1. Rhythmic initiation 2. Combination of Isotonics (Reversal of Agonists) 3. Reversal of Antagonists a. Dynamic reversal of antagonists b. Stabilizing reversal c. Rhythmic stabilization Duration of treatment will be 45-60 min including 6 min of rest period in between as per the patients requirement, for 5 days a week for a total duration of approximately 4 weeks.

Brief Summary  
Subjects of Group A will receive Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF).
Under PNF following techniques will be given
1. Rhythmic initiation
2. Combination of Isotonics (Reversal of Agonists)
3. Reversal of Antagonists
a. Dynamic reversal of antagonists
b. Stabilizing reversal
c. Rhythmic stabilization
4. Repeated Stretch (Repeated Contraction)
Duration of treatment will be 45-60 min including 6 min of rest period in between as per
the patients requirement, for 5 days a week for a total duration of approximately 4 weeks.
Subjects of Group B will receive Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT).
Modified CIMT (m-CIMT) will be performed in this study without restricting the non-
paretic limb but encouraging the patients to use the paretic limb, and by reducing the
rigorous practise schedule.
Under the m-CIMT following activities will be performed:
1. sit to stand transfers by using a suitable chair (controlling the position of the
paretic leg), 5–10 times per day and progressing as per need.
