Abstract
Objective of the Study: • To evaluate the effect of low frequency vibratory stimulation on biceps brachii spasticity in subjects with hemiplegia through Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). • To evaluate the effect of low frequency vibratory stimulation on biceps brachii spasticity in subjects with hemiplegia through Passive elbow extension Range of Motion (PROM). Materialsandmethod: 30 hemiplegic subjects were divided into two groups, experimental group received Vibration treatment in addition to the daily sessions of conventional physiotherapy which includes weight bearing exercises of upper limb, stretching of biceps brachii muscle and cryotherapy,where as control group received only daily sessions of conventional physiotherapy treatment for a duration of 30-45 minutes, six days per week for a total of 4 weeks. Results: After a 4 week treatment period, the subjects in the experimental group compared with the subjects in the control group had shown a statistically significant improvement with outcome measures at 0.05 level. Conclusion: Vibratory stimulation along with conventional physiotherapy was found much effective in reducing biceps brachii spasticity in the subjects with hemiplegia
