The thermal stimulation have been proven effective in upper extremity of stroke patients. Therefore, this study explored the efficacy of thermal stimulation in lower extremity of stroke patients.
There are two groups of stroke patients (onset > 3 months) in this study. The independent factor is temperature of the alternated heat and cold applying.
