Goal Attainment Scaling in Upper Limb Spasticity Treatment
Sponsor: University Rehabilitation Institute, Republic of Slovenia
Summary
Patients after stroke with upper limb spasticity treated with botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) will be included in this two-part study. In the first part, goal attainment scaling and comprehensive assessment of motor functioning will be performed before BTX-A application and after two weeks. In the second part, the patients will be randomised into a test group performing prescribed regular exercise for two weeks and a control group exercising at their own discretion during the same period, whereby the patients' health-related quality of life will be assessed at the beginning and end of the two-week period.
