Research progress in extracorporeal shock wave therapy for upper limb spasticity after stroke

“…After six times of rESW treatment, the efficacy was evaluated according to the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) and disability rating scale (DAS) scores before treatment, after the sixth treatment, and 1 and 3 months after the end of treatment respectively. The results showed that ESW could improve the spasticity of wrist and finger flexors after stroke, and the effect was continuous ( 82 ). Daliri et al observed 15 patients with wrist flexor spasm after stroke one time of comfort treatment and one time of routine ESWT 1 week later, and recorded the changes of motor function at each stage in the MAS score, Hmax/Mmax value and Brunstrom evaluation method.…”
