Effects of dry needling during physiotherapy in the spastic upper limb of the hemiplegic patient, Lima 2021 rehabilitation center
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-10-26) Díaz Díaz, Heber Samuel; Granados Carrera, Julio Cesar
Neurorehabilitation aims to prevent complications and reduce neurological deficits in cases of hemiplegia and other sequelae of stroke. Physiotherapy approaches use various methods and tools that are essential for physiotherapists to provide effective treatment to patients who have suffered neurological damage. The World Health Organization lists stroke as the leading cause of death and its sequelae as the primary cause of disability worldwide. In Peru, there is a high incidence of patients with post-stroke sequelae. Dry needling is an invasive technique used to reduce the muscle tone of spasticity, a physical characteristic left by strokes, aiming to decrease the tone increase and help physiotherapists improve the patient's condition.

Efficacy of physical agents in improving spasticity and motor function post stroke.
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-03-25) More Espinoza, Yeny Elva; Rivera Lozada de Bonilla, Oriana
Objective: To systematize evidence on the efficacy of physical agents in improving spasticity and motor function following a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Materials and Methods: A total of 10 studies were definitively selected. The systematic review of these 10 scientific articles on the efficacy of physical agents in improving spasticity and motor function post-CVA was conducted using the databases Lilacs, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane Plus. The included studies comprised 3 systematic reviews and meta-analyses, 2 systematic reviews, 1 meta-analysis, and 4 randomized clinical trials. Results: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 80% (8/10) agreed that there is sufficient scientific evidence supporting neuromuscular/functional electrical stimulation as the most effective intervention among all physical methods for improving spasticity and motor function post-CVA. Conclusions: The studies confirm sufficient scientific evidence for neuromuscular/functional electrical stimulation as the most effective intervention among physical methods for improving spasticity and motor function post-CVA. Additionally, it enhances patients' activities of daily living.

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.

Equilibrio corporal y tono muscular en pacientes con hemiparesia de un establecimiento de salud en Piura-Perú, 2024
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2025-03-31) Saavedra Gaona, Erita Mercedes; Puma Chombo, Jorge Eloy
El accidente cerebrovascular (ACV) es una de las principales causas de discapacidad a nivel mundial, dejando secuelas significativas en la vida de los sobrevivientes. Una de las secuelas más comunes es la hemiparesia, que se caracteriza por debilidad o parálisis en un lado del cuerpo. Esta condición, a su vez, suele estar asociada con alteraciones del equilibrio, lo que aumenta el riesgo de caídas y limita la independencia de los pacientes. El equilibrio es una función compleja que involucra múltiples sistemas sensoriales y motores. En los pacientes con hemiparesia, el tono muscular alterado, es decir, la resistencia del músculo al estiramiento pasivo, se considera un factor que puede influir significativamente en el equilibrio. Sin embargo, la relación exacta entre el tono muscular y el equilibrio en estos pacientes aún no está completamente comprendida. El proyecto es de diseño no experimental de tipo aplicada, descriptiva de alcance observacional y es correlacional ya que mide dos variables y estudia la relación estadística entre ellas planteando un vínculo de una respecto a la otra. El tono muscular alterado es una manifestación común en la hemiparesia, pero su relación precisa con el equilibrio aún no está completamente comprendida, en un de un establecimiento de salud en Piura Perú, por medio de la técnica de la observación y mediante los instrumentos de tipo encuestas.

Spasticity and its relationship with functional capacity in post-creebrovscular accident patients in a private center. Trujillo-Peru. 2023
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-06-22) Daga Torrejon, Treysi; Puma Chombo, Jorge Eloy
The aim of the work was to determine how spasticity relates to functional capacity in post-stroke patients. The study method was hypothetical-deductive, with a quantitative approach, non-experimental design, correlational sub-design, and cross-sectional analysis. The population consisted of 80 post-stroke patients attending a private center in Trujillo, Peru, in 2023. Data collection was done using the Modified Barthel Index and the Modified Ashworth Scale.
