Abstract: Background :- Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the world, and upper limb hemiparesis is a primary impairment resulting in this disability. In previous studies it has been found that modified constraint induced movement therapy and weight bearing exercises is used to improve upper extremity function in stroke patients. The purpose of this study is to determine which technique is more effective in improving the upper extremity function in stroke patients. Aim :- Effect of modified constraint induced movement therapy versus weight bearing exercises on upper extremity function in stroke patients. Objective :- To study effect of modified constraint induced movement therapy on upper extremity function in stroke patient. To study effect of weight bearing exercises on upper extremity function in stroke patient. To compare effect of modified constraint induced movement therapy versus weight bearing exercises on upper extremity function in stroke patient. Method :- This study included 20 stroke patient. Each group consisted of 10 patients. Group A received Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy who wore told to wear mitten for 4 hours in a day and for 1 hour varied exercise like picking up marbles, stacking rings, picking up balls, flipping cards were practiced. Group B received weight bearing exercises like prone on elbow, prone on hand, quadruped, sitting, standing. CONCLUSION : As per the result and analysis, Mcimt have shown better results in improving upper extremity functions as compared to weight bearing
