    Objective: To systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of physical agents in improving spasticity and motor function post-stroke. Materials and Methods: A total of 10 studies were selected. The systematic review of the 10 scientific articles on the effectiveness of physical agents in improving spasticity and motor function post-stroke were found in the following databases: Lilacs, Pubmed, Medline, and Cochrane Plus. It included Systematic Review and Meta-analysis 03, Systematic Review 02, Meta-analysis 01, and Randomized Clinical Trials 04. Results: Of the total 10 articles reviewed, 80% (n=08/10) agree that there is sufficient scientific evidence on neuromuscular/functional electrical stimulation as the most effective intervention among all physical interventions for improving spasticity and motor function post-stroke. Conclusions: The studies confirm that there is sufficient scientific evidence on neuromuscular/functional electrical stimulation as the most effective intervention among all physical interventions for improving spasticity and motor function post-stroke, and additionally, it improves the activities of daily living of patients.
