        abstract = {INTRODUCTION AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Stroke is defined by the World Health Organization as a clinical syndrome consisting of rapidly developing clinical signs of focal disturbance of cerebral function lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death with no apparent cause other than a vascular origin. Upper limb spasticity after stroke is about 50% in the first year after a stroke.1–3 In particular, wrist flexion spasticity. Aim of the study to compare immediate effect of autogenic inhibition versus reciprocal inhibition on spasticity of wrist flexors in chronic hemiplegia. METHODS: 30 Participants were analysed and distributed into 3 groups Group A (10), Group B (10) and Group C (10) according to selection criteria both males and females are included. In Group A, Autogenic inhibition, Group B Reciprocal inhibition and Group C Control group intervention was practiced. Modified Tardieu scale (MTS) and Fugl mayer scale (FMS) were taken before intervention as bassline data (pre data) and after intervention (post data). Treatment was given 1 day. CONCLUSION: Autogenic inhibition is more effective as compare to reciprocal inhibition in improving wrist extension in chronic hemiparetic patients.},
