Botulinum Toxin Injection Techniques for the Management of Adult Spasticity
Spasticity is often experienced by individuals with injury or illness of the central nervous system from etiologies such as stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, or other neurologic conditions. Although spasticity may provide benefits in some patients, it more often leads to complications negatively impacting the patient. Nonpharmacologic treatment options often do not provide long-term reduction of spasticity, and systemic interventions, such as oral medications, can have intolerable side effects.

Post-Stroke Spasticity: Predictors of Early Development and Considerations for Therapeutic Intervention
The complexities of post-stroke spasticity (PSS), and the resultant difficulties in treating the disability, present a significant challenge to patients, stroke rehabilitation teams, and caregivers. Reducing the severity of spasticity and its long-term complications may be facilitated by early intervention, making identification of stroke patients at high risk for developing spasticity essential. Factors that predict which patients are at risk for the development of PSS are identified.

The Role of Autonomic Function on Sport Performance in Athletes With Spinal Cord Injury
Devastating paralysis, autonomic dysfunction, and abnormal cardiovascular control present significant hemodynamic challenges to individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), especially during exercise. In general, resting arterial pressure after SCI is lower than with able-bodied individuals and is commonly associated with persistent orthostatic intolerance along with transient episodes of life-threatening hypertension, known as “autonomic dysreflexia.” During exercise, the loss of central and reflexive cardiovascular control attenuates maximal heart rate and impairs blood pressure regulation and blood redistribution, whi...

A Localized Brain Lesion Resulting in Isolated Hand Weakness
Hand weakness is a common concern of patients who are seen by a physiatrist, either in an inpatient or outpatient setting. The differential diagnosis of isolated hand weakness is broad and includes trauma; musculoskeletal injury; arthritis; overuse syndromes, for example, carpal tunnel; peripheral neuropathy; radiculopathy; and central nervous system disorders. There is limited literature regarding stroke as a diagnosis for isolated intrinsic hand weakness, but, for patients with risk factors, stroke should be considered in the differential diagnosis [1].

Ask the Authors
Your study made progress toward the development of a mortality prediction model for stroke patients, using a national VA data set. How would such a prediction model be helpful for PM&R or other physicians for determinations of appropriate post-acute levels of care for stroke patients?
