dc.description.abstract | Background. Ankle spasticity is a frequent phenomenon that limits functionality in poststroke patients. Objectives. Our aim was to
determine if there was decreased spasticity in the ankle plantar flex (PF) muscles in the plegic lower extremity (LE) and
improvement of gait function in stroke patients after traditional rehabilitation (TR) in combination with virtual reality with
reinforced feedback, which is termed “reinforced feedback virtual environment” (RFVE). Methods. .e evaluation, before
and after treatment, of 10 hemiparetic patients was performed using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Functional
Ambulatory Category (FAC), and Functional Independence Measure (FIM). .e intervention consisted of 1 hour/day of TR
plus 1 hour/day of RFVE (5 days/week for 3 weeks; 15 sessions in total). Results. .e MAS and FAC reached statistical
significance (P < 0.05). .e changes in the FIM did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.066). .e analysis between the
ischemic and haemorrhagic patients showed significant differences in favour of the haemorrhagic group in the FIM scale. A
significant correlation between the FAC and the months after the stroke was established (P = − 0.711). Indeed, patients who
most increased their score on the FAC at the end of treatment were those who started the treatment earliest after stroke.
Conclusions. .e combined treatment of TR and RFVE showed encouraging results regarding the reduction of spasticity and
improvement of gait function. An early commencement of the treatment seems to be ideal, and future research should
increase the sample size and assessment tools. | es |
