PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1

Population: Improved motor execution as measured by the time taken to form a stable grasp.

Assessments are done on day 1, before the 1st Botulinum toxin injection. They will be assessed for: * Hand motor impairment (execution and planning) during a functional grasp and lift tasks. * Hand function.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Pre-Treatment, Day 90

Population: Total upper limb Fugl Meyer scale score out of 66.

This scale has 3 points for each item. A zero is given for the item if the subject cannot do the task. A score of 1 is given when the task is performed partially and a score of 2 is given when the task is performed fully. Reflex activity is measured using 2 points only, with a score of 0 or 3 for absence and presence of reflex. The maximum total score that can be obtained in Fugl Meyer assessment is 226, though it is common practice to assess all domains separately.The five domains assessed by Fugl-Meyer scale are: Motor function (Maximum score in upper limb = 66; Maximum score in lower limb = 34) Sensory function (Maximum score = 24) Balance (Maximum score = 14) Range of motion of joints (Maximum score = 44) Joint pain (Maximum score = 44)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 90 Days

Measures the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability.The mRS is an ordered scale coded from 0 (no symptoms at all), 1 (No significant disability despite symptoms; able to carry out all usual duties and activities), 2 (Slight disability; unable to carry out all previous activities, but able to look after own affairs without assistance), 3 (Moderate disability; requiring some help, but able to walk without assistance), 4 (Moderately severe disability; unable to walk without assistance and unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance), 5 (severe disability) and 6 (death).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 Day and 90 Days

Population: Total upper limb Fugl Meyer Score out of 66.

Scale is comprised of five domains and there are 155 items in total: Motor functioning (in the upper and lower extremities); Sensory functioning (evaluates light touch on two surfaces of the arm and leg, and position sense for 8 joints); Balance (contains 7 tests, 3 seated and 4 standing); Joint range of motion (8 joints); Joint pain. Each domain contains multiple items, each scored on a 3-point ordinal scale (0 = cannot perform, 1= perform partially, 2 = perform fully).
