Sponsor's own description
Spastic hypertonia is common after stroke. Whole-body vibration (WBV) is known to have modulatory effects of muscle reflex activity and blood flow in other populations and thus have potential applications in the management of spastic hypertonia post-stroke. This study aims to investigate the acute effect of WBV on leg muscle H-reflex, stiffness, and blood perfusion in people with chronic stroke.
