To analyze the effect of botox on upper limb spasm after hemiplegia stroke under background rehabilitation training is main objective study. The data was collected from 100 patients with treated in Rehabilitation Medicine Department Zhejiang Hospital May 2020 to June 2022. These were randomly divided into 50 each and included study group control group. received therapy context training, while o...

background: a variety of techniques for the management of spasticity have been suggested, including positioning, cryotherapy, splinting and casting, biofeedback, electrical stimulation, and medical management by pharmacological agents, botulinum toxin a (bta) is now the pharmacological treatment of choice in focal spasticity. bta by blocking acetylcholine release at neuromuscular junctions acco...

BACKGROUND Botulinum toxin type A is a first-line treatment for post-stroke focal spasticity, and the accuracy in delivering the toxin to the target muscles may influence the treatment outcome. Our aim was to compare the reduction of spasticity and the related finger position at rest improvement in post-stroke patients treated with botulinum toxin type A in upper limb muscles using ultrasound g...

BACKGROUND Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) reduces upper-extremity poststroke spasticity when given 6 or more months after stroke. Effects on functional use of the arm and hand are less apparent. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect and safety of very early use of BoNT-A for patients with upper-limb spasticity. METHODS The Asia Botulinum Toxin-A Clinical Trial DESIGN ed for Early Post-s...

This case report describes a stroke patient who participated in an intensive functional electrical stimulation (FES) therapy that consisted of task-specific upper arm movements with a combination of pre-programmed electrical stimulation and manually assisted motion. The patient was a 22-year-old woman who had suffered a hemorrhagic stroke 2 years earlier. Motor function of the upper extremity w...

In this paper we present a case study in which a 14-year-old, right-handed stroke patient with severe weakness, spasticity, and motor dysfunction of the left upper extremity participated in a three-month distal robotic training program. The robotic device was compliant to the patients movements and was able to modulate the level of assistance continuously throughout the trial (i.e., online adap...

Background. Arm spasticity is a challenge in the care of chronic stroke survivors with motor deficits. In order to advance spasticity treatments, a better understanding of the mechanism of spasticity-related neuroplasticity is needed. Objective. To investigate brain function correlates of spasticity in chronic stroke and to identify specific regional functional brain changes related to rehabili...
