Hand functions: Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Upper Limb (FMA-UL)
hemorrhagic
Hand functions were improved in both the groups at T1 and T2 but comparatively, scores at all the time points, including baseline, were higher in the rESWT group with the improvement of 2.3 times at T0 & T1 (95% CI 6.647 to 8.409), 3.8 times at T0 & T2 (95% CI 19.549 to 22.602), and thrice at T1 & T2 (95% CI 12.313 to 14.782). The main rESWT group and its subgroups have shown a comparatively more significant percentage of the mean difference than the main TENS group and its subgroups in every time pair. In subgroup analysis, hemorrhagic patients have shown comparatively higher scores than ischemic patients and 1-Rt compared to the 1-Lt group at T1 and T2 compared to the baseline. Strong positive significant linear correlations (
