Abstract : Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) has been reported to be an effective treatment for limb spasticity after stroke. However, the reduction in spasticity after BoNT-A injection alone does not ensure an improvement in the active motor function of the affected limb. The aim of this study was to clarify the clinical effects of a BoNT-A injection, followed by home-based functional training on not only the passive but also the active motor function of the affected spastic upper limb in poststroke hemiparetic patients. A total of 133 poststroke patients with spastic upper limb hemiparesis were studied. Our proposed protocol of a BoNT-A injection, followed by home-based functional training seems to have the potential to improve the active motor function of the affected upper limb after stroke. The next study was to assess the effects of BoNT-A injection with home based functional training for passive and active motor function, over a 6-month period in post-stroke patients with upper limb spasticity. We studied 190 patients with at least a 6-month history of stroke. The results suggest that comprehensive improvement of motor function requires improvement of the motor function in the proximal part of the upper limb and that BoNT-A followed by rehabilitation reduces spasticity and improves motor function of fingers.
