Comparing the real-world effectiveness of botulinum toxin type A injections across distinct poststroke muscle hyper-resistance patterns

Frontiers in Neurology
BackgroundPost-stroke muscle hyper-resistance is produced by both neurogenic (spasticity) and non-neurogenic (contracture) factors. BoNT-A is the most effective intervention for post-stroke spasticity, yet whether concomitant contracture alters its ...
