Study aim
-
the effect of combined vibrational-tensile training on spasticity of lower extremity flexors and risk of multiple sclerosis.
-
Design
-
Clinical Trial with Control Group and Two Intervention Groups, 17 Patients were Selected as a Sample, and were Randomly Divided into Two Groups. The simple Randomization Method was used to Assign Individuals to two Groups that in this Method, Random Allocation Software was used to Create a Random Sequence. Then, for not Clearing that People Assigning to which Group before Allocated in other Words Allocation Concealment, was used as a Central Randomization Method.

Settings and conduct
-
This Research was a Quasi-experimental Study with Pre-test and Post-test Desing in Ahvaz City. 17 Patients were Selected as a Sample, and were Randomly Divided into Two Groups. Spasticity Measured by the Ashworth Modified Scale (MAS) and Fall Risk Measured by International Fall-I Risk Scale (FES-I).
