Hemiplegic shoulder pain: a common clinical consequence of stroke.

BYMTOX: An observational study to consider the association of botulinum toxin and self-management program by serious game for post-stroke patients at the chronic phase
Discussion – conclusion Despite encouraging outcomes, high rate of withdrawal makes us wonder about program's relevance, regarding intensity and patients’ profile. Concerning patients who left the program, initial mobility was 47% lower than for those who finished the study. As 4 patients in booklet group and 6 in serious game group have finished and regarding results, it may do not question the interest of this new medium. Obviously, further studies must be conduct.
