Summary

Relevant to patients with spastic hemiparesis in the hand and upper limb, this pilot project proposes to measure the effects of botulinum toxin injections through observation of performance on a functional task known as 'hand as a holder'. This task requires the person with hemiplegia to insert an object into the affected hand and hold it independently.

The project aims to demonstrate reliability and validity of a digital video method that will be used to measure 'insertion time'. It also aims to establish initial statistical support for improved object insertion time into the hemiplegic clenched fist after Botox A injections.
