NCT ID: NCT03563209 Completed - Clinical trials for Post-stroke Elbow Spasticity

Assesment of Post-stroke Elbow Flexor Spasticity in Different Forearm Positions

Start date: March 15, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Determination of which muscle is more spastic before injection of the botulinum toxin, and the application of the targeted treatment to that muscle results in more improvement in spasticity. It is known that the muscles that flex elbow in healthy individuals change according to forearm position. While the biceps brachii flexes the forearm in supination, the brachioradialis flexes the forearm in the neutral position. The brachialis muscle acts as a primary flexor muscle when the forearm is in pronation. In this study, hypothesis is that the severity of spasticity differs depending on the forearm position.
