Ankle strengthening after Botox for foot lift weakness in spastic hemiplegia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing ankle strengthening exercises after Botox injections can improve foot lift and walking ability in people with spastic hemiplegia. It may help you if you have had Botox for calf spasticity but still have trouble lifting your foot.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You have spastic hemiplegia (muscle stiffness on one side of the body) from any cause.
- You have mild to moderate calf spasticity (MAS score 1-2).
- You have weakness in lifting your foot (at least a slight muscle contraction with movement).
