Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) on spasticity of upper extremity with different functional status after stroke.Methods 32 post-stroke patents with upper extremity spasticity were divided into the good function group (n=13) and poor function group (n=19) according to the function of upper extremity. All patients in two groups were treated with injection of domestic BTX-A at the biceps brachii and rehabilitation therapy. The efficacy was assessed with rang of motion, Modified Ashowrth Scale (MAS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Mot-FIM upper extremity before and 8-week after treatment.Results After treatment, the rang of motion and FMA scores of patients in two groups improved ( P<0.05), but the good function group was superior to the poor function group; the scores of MAS of two groups were not different ( P>0.05); the scores of Mot-FIM upper extremity of the patients in two groups increased ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between two groups ( P>0.05).Conclusion The effect of BTX-A injection at the biceps brachii on post-stroke patients with good function of upper extremity is superior to the patients with poor function of upper extremity.
