Sensorimotor Modulation by Botulinum Toxin A in Post-Stroke Arm Spasticity: Passive Hand Movement

In post-stroke spasticity, functional imaging may uncover modulation in the central sensorimotor networks associated with botulinum toxin type A (BoNT) therapy. Investigations were performed to localize brain activation changes in stroke patients treated with BoNT for upper limb spasticity using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
