Methods: This randomized controlled trial with a blinded assessor was carried out at the
Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Siriraj Hospital (Bangkok, Thailand). The study
included 50 stroke (onset 3 months) outpatients experiencing spasticity at the elbow or knee
muscles at a grade of 1+ on the modified Ashworth Scale who were 50 years old and able
to communicate. The subjects were randomly allocated to the treatment group receiving TTM
(24 subjects) or the control group receiving the PT program (26 subjects). Both groups received
treatment (either TTM or PT) twice a week for 6 weeks. Spasticity grade, functional ability,
anxiety, depression, and QoL were measured at Week 0 and Week 6.
