Long-Term Efficacy of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Lower Limb Post-Stroke Spasticity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Emanuela Elena Mihai et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the long-term efficacy of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) on reducing lower limb post-stroke spasticity in adults. The findings show that ESWT has a beneficial effect on spasticity, reducing pain intensity and increasing range of motion without adverse events.

Effectiveness of Shock Wave Therapy as a Treatment for Spasticity: A Systematic Review

Isabel Maria Martinez et al.

Summary: The study suggests that shock wave therapy may effectively reduce spasticity levels, irrespective of the age and injury type of participants. However, due to the heterogeneity of treatment protocols, there is no optimal application protocol identified. Further high-quality scientific evidence is needed through primary studies.

Consensus guidelines for botulinum toxin therapy: general algorithms and dosing tables for dystonia and spasticity

Dirk Dressler et al.

Summary: Botulinum toxin (BT) therapy is a highly individualized and complex treatment that requires treatment algorithms and injection schemes to be tailored to each patient. Consensus guidelines have been updated and improved by acknowledging recent advances in treatment algorithms and providing more detailed dosing data. Collaborating with an international panel of experts has further enhanced the guidelines for BT therapy.

Tele-Rehabilitation Strategies for a Patient With Post-stroke Spasticity: A Powerful Tool Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic

Emanuela E. Mihai et al.

Summary: This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of tele-rehabilitation in improving the outcomes of post-stroke spasticity, complementing and enhancing the effects of conventional physical therapy and radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy. The patient, who received both in-person and remote rehabilitation services, showed significant improvements in spasticity grade, sensorimotor function, balance, mobility, clonus score, ambulation distance, and pain intensity.
