Walking assessment with instrumented insoles in patients with lower limb spasticity after botulinum toxin infiltration.
INTRODUCTION Botulinum toxin A (BTA) improves the kinematic parameters of gait in patients with spasticity of lower limbs, but there are no studies in which kinetic parameters are measured with instrumented insoles. We therefore used instrumented insoles to perform a functional assessment of therapeutic results in patients with lower limb spasticity after brain injury or spinal cord infiltratio...
متن کاملBotulinum toxin type A in the treatment of lower-limb spasticity in children with cerebral palsy.
We evaluated the safety and effectiveness of botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A) in the treatment of spasticity in 20 children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP). All the patients received injections in the gastrocnemius and soleus, and 15 received injections in the adductors. The total dose varied from 70 to 140 U (99.75+/-16.26 U), or 7.45+/-2.06 U/kg per patient. The treatment improved the pat...
متن کاملThe Effect of Foot Serial Casting Along with Botulinum Toxin Type-A Injection on Spasticity in Children with Cerebral Palsy
Background & Aims: The goal of this study was to determine the effect of foot serial casting along with botulinum toxin type-A injection on spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. Methods: This study was a randomized clinical trial performed as a pre-post, double blind study. It was performed on 25 children with hemiplegia and diplegia (2-8 years) in Tehran city, who were referred to valias...
متن کاملBotulinum toxin treatment for lower limb extensor spasticity in chronic hemiparetic patients.
Twelve chronic hemiparetic outpatients with pronounced lower limb extensor spasticity were injected with 400 units of botulinum toxin A, EMG guided into the soleus, tibialis posterior, and both heads of the gastrocnemius muscles. Botulinum toxin A caused a definite reduction of plantar flexor spasticity, in 10 patients two weeks after the injection, as assessed by the Ashworth scale. Four of th...
