Combination therapy with Repetitive Facilitative Exercise Program and Botulinum Toxin Type A to improve motor function for the upper-limb spastic paresis in Chronic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
To promote recovery from a paretic upper limb after stroke, various rehabilitation approaches have been effective.1 Regardless of the kind of training, a previous neurophysiological study suggests that repeating identical movements is important for motor relearning.2 In accordance with that observation, Kawahira3 developed the repetitive facilitative exercise (RFE) program, which combines repetitive volitional flexion and extension movements with modified traditional neurofacilitation approaches.

Combined effects of backward treadmill training and botulinum toxin type A therapy on gait and balance in patients with chronic stroke: A pilot, single-blind, randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Greater improvement in gait and balance was noted after BTT than after FTT as an adjunct to botulinum toxin therapy in patients with chronic stroke. PMID: 32508341 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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.

Management of spasticity with onabotulinumtoxinA: practical guidance based on the italian real-life post-stroke spasticity survey.
Authors: Sandrini G, Baricich A, Cisari C, Paolucci S, Smania N, Picelli A Abstract The present paper provides practical guidance on the management of adult spasticity with OnabotulinumtoxinA. Advisory Board members reviewed the available evidence and discussed their personal experiences in order to address the unmet needs in the management of spasticity with botulinum toxin type A identified by the recent Italian Real-Life Post-Stroke Spasticity Survey. Stroke patients should be referred to spasticity services that have adequate facilities and multidisciplinary teams with the necessary training, competence and exp...

Combined effects of robot-assisted gait training and botulinum toxin type A effect on spastic equinus foot in patients with chronic stroke: a pilot, single blind, randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Our preliminary findings support the hypothesis that robot-assisted gait training does not enhance the effect of botulinum toxin type A on spastic equinus foot in patients with chronic stroke. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Our observations should be taken into account in daily clinical rehabilitation practice in order to develop effective treatment protocols based on the enhancement of antispastic drugs effect.

Assessing the efficacy of different upper limb hemiparesis interventions on improving health-related quality of life in stroke patients: a systematic review.
CONCLUSION: The review demonstrates the need for upper limb intervention studies to focus on QOL as a primary outcome measure in addition to the functional outcomes currently used. PMID: 23611858 [PubMed - in process]
