Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of high-intensity laser therapy for treating plantar flexor muscle spasticity in subacute and chronic stroke patients focusing on its impact on spasticity joint range of motion pain muscle thickness functional ambulation and quality of life
Detailed Description:
Post-stroke lower limb spasticity disrupts balance and walking often resulting in decreased walking speed increased wheelchair use and the need for caregiver assistance Various approaches are utilized in spasticity management including physical therapy splinting oral medications chemical neurolysis and surgical interventions Laser therapy is a non-invasive painless modality used in physiotherapy units with a low incidence of side effects Laser therapy has been shown to reduce muscle fatigue and increase peak torque muscle strength when applied before exercise The use of high-intensity laser therapy in physiotherapy protocols has become increasingly common in recent years Studies suggest that it enhances healing in tendons and ligaments prevents fibrosis development increases local blood flow and tissue regeneration and reduces edema and pain The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of high-intensity laser therapy for treating plantar flexor muscle spasticity in subacute and chronic stroke patients focusing on its impact on spasticity joint range of motion pain muscle thickness functional ambulation and quality of life
