Can Incobotulinumtoxin-A Treatment Improve Quality of Life Better Than Conventional Therapy in Spastic Muscle Post-Stroke Patients? Results from a Pilot Study from a Single Center

Brain Sciences, 2021
Post-stroke spasticity frequently occurs in patients with stroke, and there is a need for more quality-of-life assessments for different therapies. We evaluated for the first time in Romania the quality of life among patients with post-stroke spasticity,

Botulinum toxin in muscle spasticity [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2000
Botulinum toxin type A has been widely used in focal dystonias for more than 10 years, but it is also undoubtedly of benefit in the relief of spasticity,1 a far commoner cause of motor impairment and neurological disability. The injection technique, by contrast with more traditional peripheral nerve blocks, requires little special equipment and can be ...

Efficiency of work production by spastic muscles

Gait & Posture, 2005
The present study compared the muscular efficiency in spastic and healthy lower limbs producing the same mechanical work. Sixteen chronic post-stroke hemiparetic and spastic patients and 14 age-matched healthy subjects were submitted to a submaximal stepwise exercise testing on a bicycle ergometer, pedalling with only one lower limb.

Clinical Validation of Plasma p‐217tau in Neurological Diseases

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Plasma p‐217tau is a minimally invasive but specific biomarker for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its disease specificity remains to be clinically evaluated. We validated the reliability of the p‐217tau biomarker in 12 other neurological diseases.

Measuring muscle tone with isokinetic dynamometer technique in stroke patients

Biomedical Human Kinetics, 2019
Study aim: Increased muscle tone, a common consequence of stroke, has neural and non-neural components. Spasticity is related to the neural component. Non-neural resistance arises from passive stiffness.

Non-invasive treatment of patients with upper extremity spasticity following stroke using paired trans-spinal and peripheral direct current stimulation

Bioelectronic Medicine, 2019
Background Muscle spasticity is a common impediment to motor recovery in patients with chronic stroke. Standard-of-care treatments such as botulinum toxin injections can temporarily relieve muscle stiffness and pain associated with spasticity, but often ...
