Spastic Cocontractions and Limitation of Active Movements Before and After Treatment During Injection of Botulinum Toxin
Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse
Summary
Following a stroke , 55% of the patients do not recover any traction of the upper limb and 30% a residual motricity not allowing a functional grip. For this last group of patients, there are major therapeutic issues to restore a functional grip. The aim of the study is to relieved the spastic cocontractions before and after usual injection of botulinum toxin A at stroke patient.

Interventions
elbow extension, electromyography
Two evaluations before the toxin injection (T0 and T1), to quantify cocontractions and to determine the toxin injection pattern. The first evaluation (T0) will be carried out within a period of between 1 month and 15 days before the injection. This evaluation makes it possible to pose the indication for the realization of injection of Botulinum Toxin A (TBA). The second evaluation (T1) will be performed on the day of the injection to specify the muscle targets to be injected. The first evaluation is a Clinical evaluation and second is Instrumental evaluation
