Official Title: High-Intensity Laser Therapy Versus Shockwave Therapy on Selected Outcome Measures in Osteoporotic Long Term Hemiparetic Patients: A Randomized Control Trial
Brief Summary:
Background: The relationship between immobilization and localized osteoporosis is well documented in chronic stroke patients. Hemiparetic patients are predisposed to fractures and usual activity impairment due to a considerable loss of bone density. A serious health care challenge is finding ways to reduce osteoporosis and associated fractures among stroke survivors.
