Abstract : Spasticity in patients with upper neuron syndrome is significant problems. It causes difficulties with activities of daily living, interferes with voluntary movement, and causes pain, depression, and dependence on caregivers. One of the treatments for limb spasticity is botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) therapy. BTX-A therapy improves muscle tone in upper and lower limb spasticity, and is safe and effective. We use BTX-A therapy to control spastic upper limbs targeting the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and finger joints. Following treatment, improved ROM, voluntary movement of fingers and the lessoning of pain, improved ADL, and improved hand function are expected. A multidisciplinary team approach is best. In such an environment, BTX injections can yield additional medical benefit by combining BTX treatment with rehabilitation.
