Numerous neurological conditions are recognized, a few of which rare but many of them are not. Material and Methods: Quasi experimental design used. It was carried out on 60 samples. The non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to select samples.  Result: Findings showed that range of motion  in neurological patient shows significant effectiveness as there is difference in mean of post test control group from 13.56 with sd 4.28  to it increases in post test experiment group 18.76 with sd of 3.9. and P value is 0.00001, which has a significance level below 0.05. Therefore, the research hypothesis is supported and the null hypothesis is rejected. Conclusion: Association between demographic variables of neurological patient. Demographic factors including age, gender, income, education, and awareness did not significantly correlate in the control group and Association between demographic variables of neurological patient. Demographic factors including age, gender, income, education, and awareness did not significantly correlate in the experimental group.
