The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of electrical sensory stimulation applied to thoraco-lumbar region on hyper-excitable monosynaptic reflex in stroke patients. Forty stroke patients were selected from out-patient clinic. Patients were divided into two equal groups. Patients in the study group (n = 20) received the selected physical therapy program as well as electrical sensory stimulation to the thoraco-lumbar region, where as patients in control group (n = 20) received the selected physical therapy program as well as placebo electrical sensory stimulation
