Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy for Lower‐Limb Spasticity in an Individual With Subacute Stroke: A Case Report
Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy showed immediate spasticity reduction and sustained range of motion improvement in a patient with subacute stroke. However, twice-weekly sessions were insufficient for lasting spasticity control, suggesting that more frequent treatments may be required. Further research is needed to optimize treatment protocols.
