Summary

This study assess the relationship between lower limb spasticity and trunk movements during static and dynamic balance in post-stroke patients who also underwent conventional physical therapy, visual feedback balance training and radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy intervention.

Conditions

  • Stroke, Ischemic
  • Stroke Hemorrhagic
  • Spasticity as Sequela of Stroke
  • Spastic Gait
  • Balance; Distorted

Interventions

OTHER

radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy

rESWT (Endopuls 811; Enraf Nonius B.V. Va-reseweg 127, 3047 AT Rotterdam MedTech, Wessling, Germany) will be applied on the myotendinous junction of both the gastrocnemius and the soleus muscles in post-stroke spasticity patients. 2000 shots will be applied on the gastrocnemius and soleus myotendinous junction with a frequency of 10 Hz and energy density of 60 mJ (1 bar) within tolerable pain limits.

OTHER

sham radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy

The control group will receive sound over the myotendinous junction of gastrocnemius and soleus with transducer-like contact.
