Clinical Uses of a Robot (Hybrid-Assisted Limb or HAL ™) in Patients with Post-stroke Spasticity after Botulinum Toxin Injections
J Med Invest. 2021;68(3.4):297-301. doi: 10.2152/jmi.68.297.ABSTRACTSpasticity is the major cause of disabilities in stroke-survivors. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections have been used to reduce the muscle tone in those patients, but its efficacy in functional outcome is not well delineated. We have studied the effect of a robot (Hybrid-Assisted Limb or HAL™) designed for assisting the elbow flexion and extension in those who underwent BoNT injections with reduced muscle tone. We enrolled 15 post stroke patients who had BoNT injections for more than 12 months. They were measured for active ROM (range of motion) with ...
