Effects of Focal Muscle Vibration Versus Whole Upper Limb Vibration in Post-Stroke Patients

Effects of Focal Muscle Vibration Versus Whole Upper Limb Vibration on Spasticity and Upper Motor Control Functions in Post-Stroke Patients

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 24 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on rehabilitation strategies for post-stroke patients, specifically focusing on the efficacy of vibration therapy modalities. By comparing focal muscle vibration therapy and whole upper limb vibration therapy, the research aims to provide empirical evidence that can inform clinical practices and enhance rehabilitation outcomes. The findings are expected to clarify which modality is more effective in reducing spasticity and improving motor control, thereby guiding clinicians in selecting appropriate interventions tailored to individual patient needs, increasing chances of benefits, time management and useful for academic purpose. Furthermore, the study addresses a critical gap in the literature, facilitating further research and discussion on the mechanisms underlying vibration therapy's effects. Ultimately, this research aims to reduce spasticity and improve community outcomes by enhancing the quality of life for stroke survivors, enabling them to regain independence and participate more fully in daily activities by regaining the motor control functions. By contributing to both theoretical and practical frameworks, the study seeks to advance the field of neurorehabilitation and support informed decision-making among healthcare professionals.
