Clinical Trial Summary

The main objective is to evaluate the feasibility of two different rehabilitation protocols that differed from the number of treatment sessions (1 session of ESWT versus 3 weekly sessions of ESWT), in patients with triceps surae spasticity after stroke. In both arms the other ESWT parameters (types of ESWT, intensity, frequency, location) and stretching sessions are the same. Secondary objectives: to compare functional performances in these two groups of patients receiving the different rehabilitation protocol with ESWT, using the following parameters: - Six Minutes walking test (6MWT) ; - Time Up & Go (TUG); - Modified Ashworth scale (MAS); - Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS); - passive ankle range of motion (p-ROM), pain (NRS); and presence of ankle clonus. These parameters are assessed during baseline (T0), after 4 weeks (T1) and after 12 weeks (T2).
