Summary
Botulinum toxin is the main treatment for focal spasticity but the effects of botulinum toxin
injections with respect to limitations of gait activities are still discussed. The aim of
this study is to to investigate the effects of intramuscular Botulinum toxin type A
injections on quantitative gait parameters (gait speed, step length and width, single support
time) and posture, in hemiparetic post stroke patients with lower limb spasticity.
