N2  - ABSTRACT:
This experimental study aims to compare the effectivity of using Reciprocal and Autogenic Inhibition through the use of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) prior to Gentle Passive Stretching (GPS) in increasing range of ankle dorsiflexion
among spastic cerebral palsy patients. Increasing range of motion of spastic Cerebral Palsy patients will eventually benefit them in achieving normal gait pattern and prevent secondary complications like contractures and deformities. Qualified participants will be divided into 2 groups. Each group will be treated using Autogenic and Reciprocal Inhibition prior to stretching. Comparison of the results will be tabulated as to which of the two techniques will increase range of motion faster. Further research is required to substantiate the claim of this study
