| Core Tip |
Spasticity is a major problem in the life of spinal cord injury (SCI), which can affect to their daily life activities. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is defined as a sequence of mechanical pulses waves, characterized by a high peak pressure, fast pressure rises and short time duration. Previous studies have reported that ESWT is effective for pain relief and hypertonia in post-stroke, cerebral palsy, and multiple sclerosis patients. However, no clinical trials have investigated the effects of ESWT in the symptoms of spasticity in spinal cord injury patients. This is the first case report published which analysed the effects of ESWT in plantar flexor spasticity symptoms in a volunteer with incomplete SCI. |
