Effects of Low Level Laser Therapy (Lllt) on Spasticity Caused by Cerebral Vascular Accidents (Cvas)

Abstract: Spasticity following cerebral vascular accidents (CVAs) is a common occurrence, but remains a problematic entity to treat and interferes with mobility and self-care activities which are critical for successful rehabilitative outcomes. Low reactive-level laser therapy (LLLT) has attracted attention in a number of areas including spasticity associated with cerebral palsy. In the case of post CVA therapy, LLLT has been reported for pain treatment, but not spasticity. The present study examined the efficacy of LLL… Show more

“…LLLT) to be carried out in combination with LDMi as a valid support concomitantly with the therapeutic procedures either in the pre-, intra-and post-treatment phases. The use of LLLT and LDMi would give an immediate feedback to the clinician of the muscle status in relation to the specific LLT treatment selected, allowing an optimization of such treatment; this aspect being a fundamental paradigm of optimal therapy treatment for the cases of: stroke, brain injury, degenerative central nervous system, temporary palsy, sport injuries or spinal cord trauma [13][14][15][16] . Figure 10.…”
