Examining the role of intrinsic and reflexive contributions to ankle joint hyper-resistance treated with botulinum toxin-A

Abstract Background Spasticity, i.e. stretch hyperreflexia, increases joint resistance similar to symptoms like hypertonia and contractures. Botulinum neurotoxin-A (BoNT-A) injections are a widely used intervention to reduce spasticity. BoNT-A effects on spasticity are poorly understood, because cli...
