 Background: Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) has been reported to be an effective treatment for spastic upper limb hemiparesis after stroke, such as mitigation of spasticity, and improvement of upper limb function. Low frequency wave electrical stimulation is a secondary therapy to improve voluntary to spastic upper limb hemiparesis after stroke. This study examines the effect and safety of BoNT-A injections combined by low frequency wave electrical and home-based functional training for spastic upper limb hemiparesis after stroke.

 Subjects and Methods: The subjects were 32 patients with spastic upper limb hemiparesis after stroke (age at intervention: 53.0±10.8 years; time after onset: 62.1±48.9 months;subtype of stroke: intracerebral hemorrhage, n=26;cerebral infarction, n=6). Using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), the Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale (FMA), the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT), and the Jikei Assessment Scale for Motor Impairment in Daily Living (JASMID), we evaluated the EQ5D on the day of the BoNT-A injection and 4 weeks after injection. On the day of injection, we instructed the patient in self-training and living guidance. Instruction of low frequency wave electrical stimulation was provided in person and in writing.

 Results: Four weeks after injection, all patients showed improvements in the MAS, the total score, FMA, and the WFMT (all < .05). There were no serious side effects.

 Conclusion: Combined therapeutic approach of BoNT-A injections, self-training instructions such as stretching and low frequency wave electrical stimulation is an effective intervention without critical side effects.
