- •Additionally, they should present with calf muscle spasticity of grade 1 or higher as measured by the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS).
- •Participants must be able to understand and follow commands, indicating adequate cognitive function, which is confirmed by a score of 24 or above on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).
- •Furthermore, individuals should have achieved at least stage 3 on the Brunnstrom Motor Recovery Scale for the lower limb.
排除标准
