Peak knee flexion during swing phase is frequently reduced following stroke. The main treatment is botulinum toxin injection (BoNT-A) of the Rectus Femoris (RF) muscle. BoNT-A injections have been shown to decrease spasticity (assessed using the modified Ashworth scale) and to improve peak knee flexion during swing phase. Although the effect of...
Background: Botulinum toxin injections are used to treat spasticity in stroke. Although this treatment is effective on muscle tone, its effect on functional gait-related activities remains uncertain.Objective: The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to determine the effect of a self-rehabilitation programme as an adjunct to botulinum...

Background : Following stroke, patients are often left with hemiparesis that reduces balance and gait capacity. Arecent, non-invasive technique, transcranial direct current stimulation, can be used to modify cortical excitabilitywhen used in an anodal configuration. It also increases the excitability of spinal neuronalcircuits involved in...
