chronic post-stroke spastic upper limb, Hemorrhagic stroke, spasticity, ischemic stroke
HEMORRHAGIC STROKE, ISCHEMIC STROKE
We found rESWT modality is superior to the TENS modality in treating chronic post-stroke spastic upper limb. Both the groups have shown improved hand functions from the first application at the end of the four-week protocol but greater scores in the rESWT group than the TENS group at T1 and T2. Hemorrhagic stroke patients have shown better grades than the ischemic stroke patients in spasticity reduction and improving voluntary control at the end of the four-week treatment session compared to the baseline in both the treatment groups (rESWT and TENS groups). No prominent and significant differences were identified by analyzing gender and the affected side of the participants in each group.
