Effects of Low Level LASER Therapy on Spasticity and Gait Parameters in Chronic Stroke Patients With Spastic Planter Flexors.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Low level LASER therapy and Conventional physical therapy for Stroke. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Low-intensity LASER therapy on the spastic muscle, would result in improving muscle performance and improving the functional capacity of individuals under the exercises imposed by physical therapy. In this study the effect of low level LASER therapy will be evaluated on spastic planter flexor of chronic stroke patients and on their gait parameters. After this study post stroke planter flexor spasticity will be cured by low level LASER which will help to improve their gait mechanics.
