There are few relative reports about the Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection on claw toe. The investigators' study has two main purposes:

1. assess the efficiency of BTX-A injection under ultrasonographyic guidance on improving lower extremities function, pain and spasticity in patients with symptomatic claw toes.
2. assess if regular stretching exercise can strength the efficiency of BTX-A injection on improving lower extremities function, pain and spasticity.
