A comprehensive literature review was conducted, focusing on studies that implemented ULNT1 and EMG analysis in post-stroke patients. The included studies varied in participant characteristics, methodologies, and outcome measures. The results demonstrated that neural mobilization has the potential to reduce EMG activity in spastic muscles and modify pain perceptions.
