description Objective: The study aims to evaluate the effects of mobilization with movement versus static muscle stretching in stroke patients. Study Design:  A multicenter interventional study. Place and Duration of Study: This Study was conducted at Three different hospitals named Majee Hospital, Surgi Care Hospital, and St. Elizabeth Hospital Hyderabad, Sindh-Pakistan, from January 2022 to June 2022. Methods: Purposive sampling was used to investigate the effects of two mobilization techniques, Mobilization with Movement and Static Muscle Stretching, on post-stroke gait. Ethical approval was obtained. Standardized rehabilitation therapy (30 min/session) combined with either technique (3x/week) was delivered for 4 weeks. Ankle Dorsiflexion Passive Range of Motion, Berg Balance score, cadence, and speed were assessed pre-and post-intervention. Data analysis utilized SPSS version 25.0. Results: The total Sample size was 70 (45.7%), equally divided into two groups. The Mobilization group showed significant improvement in all outcome measures compared with baseline (P<0.05). Including Ankle Dorsiflexion Passive Range of Motion (0.011), Berg Balance Score (0.000), Gait Speed (0.000) and Cadence (0.005). Gait speed and cadence showed more improvement than other parameters. Conclusion: The study reveals that Mobilization training, combined with standard rehabilitation, significantly improves Ankle Flexion Passive Range of Motion, Berg Balance Score, gait speed, and cadence in post-stoke patients or patients in the recovering stage.
