Results

Fifty-two patients with poststroke spasticity within 3 months of stroke onset received radial ESWT to the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles once weekly for 3 weeks. MAS and ankle PROM were assessed before and after each session and at 1 and 5 weeks after treatment. After 3 sessions, MAS decreased by a mean of 0.6 points and PROM increased by 6.4 degrees from baseline. Improvements were maintained for 5 weeks. No serious adverse events occurred.

Baseline Characteristics

Fifty-two patients (19 men and 33 women; mean age, 57.0+/-12.8 years) were analyzed. The mean time from stroke onset to intervention was 59.8+/-23.6 days. Fifteen patients had hemorrhagic stroke and 37 had ischemic stroke. All participants had hemiplegia and ankle spasticity (MAS >1).

Participant flow

Fifty-four patients met the eligibility criteria, and 52 patients were assigned to three groups and completed the study. Two patients discontinued ESWT due to pain or exacerbation of clonus.

Adverse events

Mild adverse events included transient erythema, which resolved spontaneously within a few hours. Muscle contractions and joint movements were observed in a small number of patients during ESWT. One patient experienced exacerbation of clonus and another experienced intolerable pain; both discontinued the intervention. No serious adverse events related to ESWT were observed.

Outcome measures

The outcomes were ankle spasticity and passive range of motion (PROM), assessed using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and PROM measurements. Assessments were performed before and after each ESWT session and at 1 and 5 weeks after the final session.
