OSTEOPOROSIS
According to the current study, combining standard physical therapy with HILT and ESWT has been clinically significant in treating osteoporotic long-term hemiparetic patients, favoring HILT more than ESWT. The visual analog scale (VAS), the Short Form of Berg Balance Scale (SFBBS), and the Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (QUALEFFO-41) were used to assess clinical improvement in the current study. Fall risk was also assessed by the overall stability index and the Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis. These results may require further investigation using measures of bone mineral density (DEXA).
