About this study

Official title: Treatment of Spastic Equinovarus Foot After Stroke. Efficacy: Association Between Ankle Foot Orthosis and Botulinum Toxin A (BTA) Injection

This study evaluates treatment for spastic foot after stroke using ankle foot orthosis with or without selective injection of BTA (Botox).

Read the detailed description

This prospective, multicentric open trial evaluates the efficacy of a combined treatment for spastic foot after stroke using ankle foot orthosis with or without selective injection of BTA (Botox) into the tibialis anterior and/or posterior and/or the long toe flexor, and/or medial and lateral gastrocnemius, and/or soleus muscles [300 BTA U per injection (Botox - Allergan), diluted with saline to a concentration of 5U/0,1 mL, with electromyography guided injection]. The patients are followed for one year after treatment.

Being tested
Botulinic toxin (Botox)
Keywords
Spastic equinovarus, Botox, Ankle foot orthosis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Botulinic toxin (Botox)Drug

    Patients may benefit, depending on the draw, in addition to their orthosis, intramuscular injections of botulinum toxin.These injections are among 6 in the muscles posterior (rear) of the leg paralyzed with tracking electromyographic to ensure the accuracy of the injection.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Plantar contact during walking

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Gait velocity

  2. Barthel index

  3. MIF

  4. Autosatisfaction by EVA

  5. Asworth scale

  6. Ankle range of motion
