        abstract = {Stroke often results in upper limb spasticity and functional limitations; spasticity is major challenge to the rehabilitation team. The present study compared the effectiveness of PNF with metronome beats versus PNF alone in upper limb spasticity in stroke patients. A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 30 stroke patients over four weeks. The result showed that functional performance improved significantly in the metronome group, while spasticity changes were minimal. Thus, the study concludes PNF combined with metronome beats improves upper limb functional performance.},
