ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) on spastic foot in stroke patients in a rehabilitation program. Method: Hemiparetic stroke patients (n=21) enrolled in a rehabilitation program were divided into two groups. The first group (n=11) received a total of 300UI BTX-A, and the second group (n=10) received 100 UI BTX-A. All patients were assessed at baseline and 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after injection for Modified Ashworth Score, time walking 10 meters, and the Functional Independence Measure (mFIM) motor score. Results: The higher-dose group exhibited a significant improvement in spasticity, and both groups showed an improvement in time walking 10 meters and mFIM, with no significant differences between them. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that gains in gait velocity and functional independence were not correlated to BTX-A dose. .


O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da toxina botulínica tipo A (TXB-A) sobre a espasticidade de membro inferior em pacientes pós-AVE em reabilitação. Método: 21 pacientes hemiparéticos foram divididos em dois grupos que receberam doses de TXB-A de 300UI (Grupo 1) e 100UI (Grupo 2) e foram avaliados antes da injeção e 2, 4, 8 e 12 semanas após, quanto à escala de Ashworth modificada, tempo para andar 10 metros e escore motor da Medida de Independência Funcional (MIFm). Resultados: O grupo que utilizou dose mais alta teve melhora significativa da espasticidade. Ambos os grupos tiveram melhora do tempo para andar 10 metros e da MIFm sem diferença significativa entre eles. Conclusões: A melhora da velocidade de marcha e da independência funcional não foram correlacionadas com a dose de TXB-A na amostra analisada. .
