Comparison of Neurodevelopmental Therapy with Standard Therapy for the Treatment of Patients with Spasticity After Stroke

<b>Background/Objectives:</b> The objective of this study was to expose the ability of neurophysiotherapeutic management to reduce spasticity through a modified Ashworth Scale. <b>Methods</b>: The sample, consisting of 102 subjects divided into control and study groups, was selected from an initial pool of N = 1007 patients diagnosed with stroke by a neurosurgeon that was later confirmed with imaging (MRI, CT). The study scheme included statistical differentiation between the study and control groups before and after applying specific rehabilitation programs and statistical differentiation within these groups before and after their rehabilitation procedures. <b>Results</b>: The results of this study revealed statistically significant improvements in reducing spasticity, as assessed by the Ashworth scale, within the group that participated in the neurorehabilitation program. It also confirmed that using neurophysiological methods is a highly effective approach to managing spasticity in post-stroke patients. <b>Conclusions</b>: Using neurophysiological methods in the standard physiotherapy treatment of spasticity is very effective for managing post-stroke spasticity.
