简要总结
Restless leg Syndrome (RLS) is a common condition in the elderly population,characterized byan uncontrollable urge to move the leg,often occuring in the evening or at night,which can significantly disturb sleep and daily activities(ADL).
Although various type of stretchings found to be effective on the symptoms of RLS,no study has specifically compared the effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation stretching technique versus conventional physical therapy on the symptoms of RLS and related sleep disturbances.This study aims to fill this gap by evaluating the effectiveness of PNF stretching compared to conventional physical therapy,on the symptoms of RLS in elderly population.
