No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to show whether WBV application has antispastic effect. The secondary aim is to demonstrate whether WBV has neuromodulatory activity on increased stretch reflex and motor neuron activity, which is the basis of the pathophysiology of spasticity.Hypotheses of this study:Whole body vibration in poststroke hemiplegia reduces ankle plantar flexion spasticity.

1. WBV ; reduces plantar flexor spasticity after stroke
2. WBV decreases poststroke spasticity, by decreasing increased stretch reflex and motor neuron activity.

Conditions

  • Muscle Spasticity
  • Physiology

Interventions

DEVICE

Sham vibrator

The Sham control group will have WBV the same time,in the same position with the same frequency but 99.5% weakened amplitude.

DEVICE

Real vibrator

The intervention group will have WBV(frequency:30Hz,amplitude:2,2mm,at upright position
