Summary

Cerebral palsy (CP) is primarily a neuromotor disorder that affects the development of movement, muscle tone and posture.It is one of the three most common lifelong developmental disabilities, the other two being autism and mental retardation causing considerable hardship to affected individuals and their families. CP is a common problem, the worldwide incidence being 2 to 2.5 per 1000 live births. Myofascial therapy is definable by "the facilitation of mechanical, neural and psycho physiological adaptive potential as interfaced by the myofascial system". The PNF contract-relax technique consists of stretching the target muscle, keeping it in position while the patient isometrically contracts it and relaxes in sequence, producing effects such as maintenance and gain in joint mobility, increased muscle strength, and better motor control whereas The modified Ashworth scale is the most universally accepted clinical tool used to measure the increase of muscle tone This study will be randomized clinical trial and will be conducted in Rasool medical centre Gujrat and City hospital Gujrat. This study will be completed within duration of 6 months after the approval of synopsis.Convenience sampling technique will be used to collect the data. A sample size of total 20 patientswill be taken in the study. 20participants will be equally divided into two group's myofascial stretch and contract-relax stretching techniques having 10participants in each group. Informed consent will be sought from them and they will be clearly explained about the purpose of study.Myofascial Stretching will be applied to Group A and Contract-Relax stretching will be applied to Group B.

Results will be analyzed on SPSS.
