Abstract:
Objective To evaluate outcome of injection of botulinum toxin A to treat post-stroke muscle spasm under color doppler ultrasound guide. Methods 15 stroke patients following spasm in upper limb were chosen. Under the guidance of ultrasound, botulinum toxin A was accurately injected in biceps, brachialis, deep flexor muscle of fingers, superficial flexor muscle of fingers, musculus flexor carpi ulnarista, thumb-muscle, palmaris longus muscle, musculus pronator teresta, and quadrate pronator muscle. All patients went on rehabilitation training after injection. Upper limb function was evaluated by using modified Ashworth(MAS) and Fugl-Meyer scores before injenction, two weeks and four weeks after injection. Results Recovery of muscle spasm and scores of the upper limb motor function were better than that before injection.Conclusion Under color doppler ultrasound guidance, injectionof the botulinum toxin A can treat post-stroke muscle spasm with accurate location.
