Interventions
low level laser therapy
patients will receive LLT. The LLLT system used in the study (ASA LASER M6) delivered 1.0 W in continuous wave at a wave length in the near infrared of 808 nm. The incident power density will be 670 mW/cm2.The probe head will held with light pressure in contact with the skin over the course of median nerve on the dysfunctional limb for 15 minutes. Protective goggles will be used to prevent direct eye contact of the laser beam. plus selected phyiscal therapy program
selected physical therapy program
patient will receive standard physical therapy program for wrist flexors spasticity post-stroke typically includes the following components: Passive stretching: Passive static or dynamic stretching of the wrist flexorss is the mainstay to reduce spasticity and Physical therapy exercises in form of specific techniques of proprioceptive facilitation, relaxation techniques, passive and self-passive motions, and proper limb positioning. plus sham low level laser therapy
