Background: Studying the result of autogenic inhibition versus reciprocal inhibition techniques on the children spasticity is a strategy for determining which of them is the most actual in reducing spasticity. Objective: To investigate the efficacy of autogenic inhibition versus reciprocal inhibition on hemiplegic children spasticity. Design: Pretest-Posttest trial. Setting: Laboratories of comprehensive rehabilitation center. Subjects: Forty spastic hemiplegic children of both genders ranged in age from seven to nine years contributed in this study, they were being randomly selected from comprehensive rehabilitation center and assigned into two groups of equal number (each group 20 child). Intervention: Group (A) underwent autogenic inhibition technique while group (B) underwent reciprocal inhibition technique. Measurements: H\M ratio and Muscle Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging used to assess muscle spasticity for both groups before and after the intervention. Results: There were significant reduction in H\M ratio for both groups after intervention immediately in favor of group A and significant improvements in Muscle Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging for group A while non-significant for group B. Conclusions: Autogenic inhibition more effective than reciprocal inhibition technique on decreasing hemiplegic children spasticity. *Correspondence to: Mohamed Serag, Physical Therapy department of Basic Sciences, Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, Egypt, E-mail: drsergany_79@hotmail.com
