Effect of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation With and Without Electrical Muscle Stimulation on Spasticity, Gait and Lower Limb Functions of Chronic Stroke Patients.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilition and Electrical muscle stimulator for Chronic Stroke. Targeting 22 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The main purpose of conducting this study is to decrease the tone through PNF techniques and EMS application. By decreasing the tone, spasticity may be reduced in stroke patients and may inturn lead to better approaches to treat those patients. So, the findings of this study can help in formulation of future guidelines for management of stroke that will help the clinicians to treat such patients in more efficient way..

Interventions
PNF Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a more advanced form of flexibility training. PNF involves both stretching and contracting (activation) of the muscle group being targeted in order to achieve maximum static flexibility.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS), also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or electromyo stimulation, is a protocol that elicits a muscle contraction using electrical impulses that directly stimulate your motor neurons.
