Quantitative assessment for post-stroke spasticity remains a significant challenge due to the encountered variable resistance during passive stretching, which can lead to the widely used modified Ashworth scale (MAS) for spasticity assessment dependi...
Gait disorders in neurological diseases are frequently associated with spasticity. Intramuscular injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A (BTX-A) can be used to treat spasticity. Providing optimal treatment with the highest possible benefit-risk ratio is ...
Upper-limb spasticity, frequent after central nervous system lesions, is typically treated with botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) injections to reduce muscle tone and increase range of motion. However, performing adjunct physical therapy post-BoNT...
We conducted a multicenter and retrospective study to describe the use of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) to treat post-stroke spasticity (PSS). Data were extracted from free-text in electronic health records (EHRs) in five Spanish hospitals. We incl...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of combining botulinum toxin-A (BoNT-A) injection with robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on lower limb spasticity and motor function in children with cerebral palsy.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the impact of combining transcranial direct current stimulation with end-effector robot-assisted treatment on upper limb function, spasticity, and hand dexterity in chronic stroke patients.
Cerebral palsy is a neurologic disorder caused by lesions on an immature brain, often resulting in spasticity and gait abnormality. This study aimed to compare the muscle activation patterns of real level and stair walking with those of simulated wal...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility, usability, safety, and potential health benefits of using an exoskeleton device for rehabilitation of people living with multiple sclerosis.
