Interventions
Russian Current Stimulation for Anterior Tibial Group
Parameters were adjusted as the following frequency of 2.5 kHz and 50 bursts per second with 50 pulses per burst. The stimulus was applied for a 10 seconds "on" period followed by a 10 seconds "off" period for total treatment time 20 minutes.
Placebo Russian Current Stimulation for Anterior Tibial Group
Placebo Russian current stimulation was applied to the anterior tibial group without active current for 20 minutes.
Selected physical therapy exercise for both limbs
The selected physical therapy exercise for both limbs was applied for 40 minutes, including passive, active assisted and active range of motion exercises, stretching of spastic muscles, strengthening of weak muscles (anterior tibial group), and finally functional mobility exercises.
