Abstract
Calf muscle spasticity leading spastic movement disorders during walking is the major complex functional problem in post stroke hemiplegia. And a recent RCT suggests that Whole Body Vibration (WBV) therapy of 40 hz/4 mm amplitude for 5 minutes totally 12 sessions improves walking speed in the long term and may be a complementary therapy in gait rehabilitation. Nevertheless, a 2015 systematic review and meta-analysis concludes that WBV training had no beneficial effects in muscle strength.
