Spasticity grading: Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)
hemorrhagic, Spasticity
Percentages of the mean differences were calculated between time points, then the main rESWT and TENS groups and subgroup measurements were compared. Spasticity was reduced in both the groups at T1 and T2, but the improvement was larger in the rESWT group with 1.9 times at T0 & T1 (95% CI 0.680 to 0.905), 4.8 times at T0 & T2 (95% CI 1.956 to 2.195), and 2.8 times at T1 & T2 (95% CI 1.158 to 1.408) compared to TENS group. In subgroup analysis, hemorrhagic patients have shown comparatively higher grades than ischemic patients at T1 and T2 compared to the baseline. In the rESWT group, males got higher grades compared to females and females scored high compared to males in the TENS group. In rESWT, 1-Rt has shown higher grades compared to the 1-Lt group.
