Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of using electrical stimulation to improve upper extremity function in stroke survivors who receive botulinum toxin injections for spasticity. We hypothesize that individuals who receive the electrical stimulation could demonstrate improved benefit of the botulinum toxin injections and improved functional use of their weaker upper extremity.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a pragmatic investigation that will utilize a two group comparison to compare electrical stimulation to a sham stimulation in individuals who are scheduled to receive botulinum toxin injections to their upper extremity for spasticity management. The electrical stimulation will be to the antagonist muscles of the injected muscles of the upper extremity and will be administered for 4 weeks post injections. ;
