Botulinum toxin type A combined with robot-assisted training for upper limb spasticity and motor function after stroke: a case report
Journal Title: TMR Integrative Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 16
Abstract
This study is to report the clinical experience of of Botulinum toxin type A in combination with robot-assisted training on upper limb spasticity and motor function in stroke patient through a case report. The patient underwent combined treatment with Botulinum toxin type A and robot-assisted training of the upper limb for 3 weeks. Evaluation was performed before and after combined treatment, and 3 months follow-up after discharge. The following outcomes were measured: spasticity by the modified Ashworth scale, pain by the numeric rating scale, motor function by the Fugl-Meyer assessment in upper limb, and activity of daily living by the modified barthel index. The combined Botulinum toxin type A and robot-assisted training treatment had an obvious improvement in upper limb spasticity, pain, motor function and activity of daily living. Botulinum toxin type A combined with robot-assisted training therapy is worthy of further application in patients with spastic stroke.
