Effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on cognitive function in stroke patients.

Background: Cognitive impairment after stroke is common and can cause disability with major impacts on quality of life and independence. Transcranial direct current stimulation may represent a promising tool for reconstitution of cognitive functions in stroke patients.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on cognitive functions in stroke patients.

Effect of shock wave therapy on ankle plantar flexors spasticity in stroke patients.

Background: Large number of patients with first-ever stroke developed spasticity. Spasticity can reduce the range of motion, hinder voluntary movements, provoke pain, and result in impairment of functional activities of daily living.

Objective: Demonstrate the effect of shock wave therapy on ankle plantar flexors spasticity in stroke patients.
