Summary

The primary aim of this study is to compare the effect of TANS and body rocking exercises on reducing upper limb spasticity in young stroke patients( under 50). Specific objectives include evaluating changes in muscle tone, motor function, pain reduction, and functional independence following each intervention.

Conditions

  • Spasticity, Muscle

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

TANS Group

The TANS Group will receive low-frequency electrical stimulation (20-30 Hz) via a TENS device on the auricular vagus nerve for 30 minutes, 3-4 times per week for 8 weeks. This non-invasive therapy aims to reduce spasticity, enhance neuroplasticity, and improve motor function and independence, assessed through standardized scales.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Body Rocking Exercise

Group 2: Body Rocking Exercise Group Participants will perform rhythmic body rocking exercises for 20-30 minutes, 3-4 times per week for 8 weeks to reduce spasticity and improve motor coordination. Group 3: Control Group (Usual Rehabilitation) Participants will receive standard stroke rehabilitation (therapy, stretching, functional training) for 20-30 minutes, 3-4 times per week for 8 weeks as a baseline comparison.
