简要总结
This study aimed to investigate gastrocinemius function massage on physical parameters of stroke patients.
详细描述
Gastrocinemius function massage is known to relieve pain and increase range of motion. However, its effects on spasticity and physical performance in stroke patients are not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of gastrocinemius function massage.

结局指标
主要结局
Spasticity
时间窗: aproximately 10 miutes
Modified Aswort Scale is used to asses spasticity level of participants,The Muscle Assessment Scale (MAS) is a method utilised to assess the degree of resistance experienced during passive range of motion exercises. This evaluation does not necessitate any specialised equipment and can be conducted swiftly (Bohannon and Smith, 1987). The assessment of the efficacy of pharmacological and rehabilitative therapies in the treatment and management of spasticity in stroke patients is commonly employed (Ansasri et al., 2008). The scale is denoted by the subsequent numerical values (Ansasri et all., 2008). 0: Absence of increase in muscular tone 1: There is a little rise in muscle tension, accompanied by a mild resistance or moderate challenge at the furthest point of movement when flexing or extending the affected body part(s). 1+: A slight augmentation in muscular tension is succeeded by negligible opposition throughout the remaining (less than 50%) of the motion range.
Gait parameters and fall risk
时间窗: aproximately 5 miutes
Spatial Temporal Gait Analysis, also known as Legsystm, is a method used to analyse the movement patterns and timing of an individual's gait. The walking variables of the subjects were assessed using a wearable walking analysis device known as Legsystm. The user's text is empty. The data gathered by two sensors affixed to the supramaleo region using Velcro is transmitted and processed to the connected computer using Bluetooth. Legsystm possesses the capacity to perform diverse measurements of spatio-temporal data obtained from people. During the Legsystm analysis, participants were instructed to perform the Time up and go test. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test will be utilised to evaluate the spatio-temporal parameters and ascertain the likelihood of falling in stroke patients. During the TUG (Timed Up and Go) test, the patient is initially positioned in an appropriate chair.
