PNF With and Without EMS on Spasticity, Gait and Lower Limb Function in Chronic Stroke Patients

NCT05962060 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 22

Last updated 2023-07-27

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The main purpose of conducting this study is to decrease the tone through PNF techniques and EMS application. By decreasing the tone, spasticity may be reduced in stroke patients and may inturn lead to better approaches to treat those patients. So, the findings of this study can help in formulation of future guidelines for management of stroke that will help the clinicians to treat such patients in more efficient way..

Conditions

  • Chronic Stroke

Interventions

OTHER

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilition

PNF Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a more advanced form of flexibility training. PNF involves both stretching and contracting (activation) of the muscle group being targeted in order to achieve maximum static flexibility.

OTHER

Electrical muscle stimulator

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or electromyo stimulation, is a protocol that elicits a muscle contraction using electrical impulses that directly stimulate your motor neurons.
