Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Chin Tuck Against Resistance  The patient will carry out this exercise while sitting upright on a chair, tucking the chin down towards the manubrium sterni. The manubrium sterni will be compressed while an inflatable rubber ball is put between them, giving the workout with the necessary resistance. The exercise will be done in one set per day (30 reps/set), four days a week, for three weeks 
Comparator Agent  Control group  No exercises will be given 
Intervention  Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation  Patients are instructed to move their heads in a diagonal motion with their mouths open against resistance from the end of the extension-left rotation to the end of the flexion-right rotation. At the conclusion of the movement, they are instructed to hold the position for six seconds against resistance (stabilising contractions) while seated upright. The physiotherapist will then reposition the patients head and mouth back to their starting positions as the patient tries to maintain their position (eccentric contraction). For three weeks, the exercise will be done four days a week for one set per day (30 repetitions/set).

Brief Summary   Dysphagia is a commonly documented morbidity post stroke. Its reported prevalence is widely discrepant, ranging between 19% and 81% In a study conducted by Sayaca et al., Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation technique was effective in improving swallowing function in patients with Dysphagia. Similarly Chin Tuck Against Resistance(CTAR) exercise activates the suprahyoid muscle and is an effective therapeutic exercise for improving swallowing function in patients with dysphagia and less strenuous than Shaker exercise . This study aims to compare and evaluate the effect of PNF and Chin Tuck Against Resistance exercise in post stroke patients with Dysphagia.
