A case study investigating the efficacy of two treatments, botox and SaeboFlex in reduced hand function due to flexor spasticity

Purpose: Dynamic hand splints such as Saeboflex are a promising intervention for aiding functional use of a person's hand following a stroke. If spasticity is present it can be a major limiting factor in using a Saeboflex. The purpose of this case study is to report the use of a combination of Botulinum Toxin Type A (BtxA) to reduce spasticity, prior to initiating a repetitive training rehabilitation programme with a Saeboflex.
