Evaluating the functional outcomes of ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin type A injections using the Euro-musculus approach for upper limb spasticity treatment in post-stroke patients; an observational study.

CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin type A injection via the Euro- musculus spasticity approach is a practical and effective method for administering injections to the correct point of the correct muscle. Ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin type A injections combined with rehabilitation programmes decrease spasticity and improve the upper extremity motor functions in stroke patients. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: This new approach for ultrasound- guided botulinum toxin type A injection is very practical and effective method for upper extremity spasticity.
