Summary
40 chronic stroke patients with upper limb spasticity will randomly divided into two groups. First group will receive 3 sessions of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) with one week apart without cessation of current physical therapy, while the second group will continue to receive conventional rehabilitative program. Assessment will be done at baseline, 2 weeks after rESWT and 3 months after rESWT using Modified Ashworth Scale, Fugl Meyer Assessment for hand function and wrist control, motricity index for pinch grip and Hmax/ Mmax amplitude ratio of flexor carpi radialis muscle.
