RESUMEN
@#Objective To investigate the feasibility and curative effect of botulinum toxin type A(BTX-A)point injection under the guidance of type-B ultrasonic on upper limb spasticity after stroke.Methods 18 cases were divided into two groups:9 cases for treatment group were treated with point injection BTX-A in 5 points with the guidance of type-B ultrasonic diagnosis,other 9 cases for control were only injected experientially.They were evaluated with the modified Ashworth scale(MAS)and the time taking effect were recorded.Results Compared with the control,the scores of MAS in the treatment group improved,and they came into effect more quickly(P<0.05).Conclusion The point injection of BTX-A under the guidance of type-B ultrasonic was practicable for and effective on upper limb spasticity after stroke.
