Cryotherapy reduces muscle hypertonia, but does not affect lower limb strength or gait kinematics post-stroke: a randomized controlled crossover study

2019, vol. 26, n° 4, p. 267- Doc n°: 189673 Localisation : Centre de Réadaptation de Lay St Christophe D.O.I. : https://doi.org/10.1080/10749357.2019.1593613 Descripteurs : AF2 - TROUBLES CIRCULATOIRES CEREBRAUX Based on the premise that spasticity might affect gait post-stroke, cryotherapy is among the techniques used to temporarily reduce spasticity in neurological patients. This effective technique would enhance muscle performance, and ultimately, functional training, such as walking. However, understanding whether a decrease in spasticity level, if any, would lead to improving muscle performance and gait parameters is not based on evidence and needs to be clarified.
