Abstract
Stroke is an important cause of disability and there is no generally accepted method for rehabilitation of stroke survivors. Repeated practice of motor activity will enhance the sensory-motor cortex activity and the TENS is the one way to maximize that sensory input in stroke patients. A 53 year old female was the subject of this case study, who had walking impairment and spasticity in right lower limb. The treatment included 6 weeks of intervention in which TENS was applied over 4 acupoints followed by TRT exercise protocol. Before and after intervention, spasticity was measured by MAS; functional mobility was measured by TUG test and DGI. The findings of this case study showed that there was reduction in spasticity by application of TENS along with TRT and relative improvement in functional mobility up to follow-up.
