The Effect of Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection in the Rectus Femoris in Stroke Patients Walking With a Stiff Knee Gait: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

BoNT-A injections in the rectus femoris is a valuable treatment option for stroke patients walking with a SKG to improve knee kinematics. To study the effect on functional outcome more research is necessary with different functional outcome measures that can capture the effect in kinematics. It is important to use kinematic measurements to demonstrate effects in quality of movement that are not captured by commonly used functional outcome measurements post stroke. https://trialsearch.who.int/Trial2.aspx?TrialID=NTR2169.
