Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Effects of Chemodenervation (Botulinum Toxin A) and Serial Casting vs Botulinum Toxin A and without serial casting in Lower Limb Spasticity following ABI.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators will be studying the effects of Chemodenervation (Botulinum Toxin A) and Serial Casting vs Botulinum Toxin A and without serial casting in Lower Limb Spasticity following ABI.

patients are randomly divided into two groups: group 1 will undergo botox injection with weekly serial casting group 2 will undergo botox injection with physiotherapy The primary outcome is the effects of the proposed treatment with respect to passive dorsiflexion.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Chemodenervation + Serial Casting

in this group a total of 10 patients will undergo Botulinum Toxin A injection and weekly serial casting Intervention = Weekly Serial Casting AND Botulinum Toxin A injection (350-400 units per treated limb)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Botulinum toxin type A

Intervention Type DRUG

Use of chemodenervation (botulinum toxin A) for treatment of lower extremity spasticity in ABI inpatients with regards to ankle range of motion.

(a total of 350-400 units of botulinum toxin A per treated limb)

Serial Casting

Intervention Type DEVICE

Using Serial Casting in conjunction with Botox injection for treatment of lower extremity spasticity in ABI inpatients with regards to ankle range of motion.

(a total of 350-400 units of botulinum toxin A per treated limb)

Chemodenervation without serial casting

in this group a total of 10 patients will undergo Botulinum Toxin A injection. Intervention = Botulinum Toxin A injection (350-400 units per treated limb) alone.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Botulinum toxin type A

Intervention Type DRUG
