Summary

Background: shoulder-hand syndrome is considered a significant reason for the reduction of upper limb functions after stroke. Purpose: To investigate the influence of Myofascial Trigger Points (MTrPs) release and shockwave therapy on pain and functions of the upper extremity in stroke patients with diabetic neuropathy.

Detailed description

Methods: two equal groups of thirty stroke patients, divided into, study group: which treated with MTrPs release combined with shockwave therapy and conventional program, while control group: treated with a conventional selected exercise program.

Conditions

• Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Myofascial trigger points pressure (MTrP) release	Myofascial trigger points pressure (MTrP) release technique, the initial step was to recognize and find the trigger points (TP) , and The second step after TP palpation was the MTrP release technique, as follow, by one or both hands, the thumbs or four fingers of the therapist applied a maintained pressure, pushing internal toward the middle
OTHER	Shockwave therapy application	The JEST-2000 (JOEUN Medical, Dae-Jeon, South Korea) was used for the ESWT. The application of pressure pulses of ESWT was centered around the flexor muscles with hypertonia
OTHER	conventional therapy	Passive ROM exercises performed by the therapist and Bobath Neurodevelopmental Approach (prolonged stretch): The Intervention methods for Bobath involved the activation of key points of control for the reduction of tone
