Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for Spasticity

The study will investigate the potential efficacy and safety of a non-invasive treatment with a low side effect profile, extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). ESWT has shown some benefits in people with post-stroke spasticity with no long term side effects. Shockwaves are high pressure sound waves that interact with tissues to elicit a biological response. The shockwave probe will be placed on the skin (over the medial gastrocnemius) with ultrasound gel and the muscle will be stimulated for a few minutes
