Summary

This study was conducted to assess the combine role of Physiotherapy by providing task specific trainings and Botulinum Toxin Type A in improving the functional outcomes of upper limb in post stroke patients with focal hand dystonia.

Conditions

  • Focal Hand Dystonia

Interventions

OTHER

Botulinum toxin type A

All patients in the experimental group received a BoNT-A injection. The injected total dose for individual patient in the experimental group was 100 units which is equivalent to approximately 300-500 Units of Dysport (the other type of BoNT-A available). The Botox was injected by the neurophysician intramuscularly using insulin U100 syringe and determination of muscles for injection was assessed clinically.
