Summary

The aim of the study is to see whether a physical therapy program can relieve pain, decrease spasticity and increase muscle contraction force by using the super inductive system (high frequency electromagnetic field). It is a longitudinal, prospective study, of 60 patients with spasticity after stroke. No new treatment method is tested, as the Super inductive system is approved for physical therapy by the Ministry of Health.

Detailed description

The 60 patients will be submitted to 2 treatment groups: 30 patients will receive 10 sessions of the superinductive system on the antagonist muscles, and 30 patients will receive 10 sessions the superinductive system on the agonist and antagonist muscles. All patients will also receive the standard kinetotherapy program for spasticity. The patients will be evaluated at the beginning of the treatment, at 10 days and at 30 days by using the functional MAS index and Barthel index.
