Ischemic strokes account for 68 percent of all strokes worldwide, while hemorrhagic strokes account for 32 percent. A stroke is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention. Early intervention can help to prevent brain damage and other problems. The present case report is of a 24 year male suffered with stroke on 24th July 2021. He was private employee in a hospital. He was presented with weakness of left side of the body. He was treated by using brunnstrom movement therapy and Neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT). He was treated for a period of 4 weeks. First two weeks as inpatient and last two weeks as outpatient. He was treated one hour per day, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Modified Ashworth scale (MAS), brunnstrom recovery stages of upper limb, lower limb and trunk were taken pre and post treatment. There was tremendous improvement in both upper and lower limbs.
