Relief of post-stroke spasticity with acute vibrotactile stimulation: controlled crossover study of muscle and skin stimulus methods

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2023
Background Prior work suggests that vibratory stimulation can reduce spasticity and hypertonia. It is unknown which of three predominant approaches (stimulation of the spastic muscle, antagonist muscle, or cutaneous regions) most reduces these symptoms ...

Botulinum toxin modulates cortical maladaptation in post-stroke spasticity

, 2013
Introduction: Maladaptive plasticity involving the unaffected hemisphere (UH) in stroke patients may contribute to post-stroke deficits, including spasticity. We investigated the central and peripheral effects of botulinum toxin in post-stroke spasticity
