Summary
Stiff knee gait is defined as the lack of knee flexion in the swing phase of gait. Stiff knee
gait is a frequent condition among stroke patients leading to reduce gait speed and increase
energy cost. In association with neuro-rehabilitation, botulinum toxin A injections in the
rectus femoris is recommended. However, the botulinum toxin A effect is transient
necessitating repeated injections.
The aim of this study is to compare the benefit of the rectus femoris tenotomy in comparison
with botulinum toxin A injections according to the 3 domains of the International
