Botulinum toxin in upper limb spasticity: study of reciprocal inhibition between forearm muscles.
To establish whether botulinum A toxin (BTX-A) acts on modifying reciprocal inhibition between forearm muscles in spasticity, 20 patients with post-stroke upper limb spasticity lasting for more than 1 year were studied. Clinical examination, physiotherapeutic evaluation, standardized video-tape assessment and electrophysiological testing (flexor carpi radialis muscle M and H responses with stud...
متن کاملUptake in the Forearm Muscles of Nondiabetics
A B S T R A C T In a series of experiments on the human forearm, preparation designed to examine the effects of variations in immunologically determined endogenous serum insulin levels and of blood glucose concentrations on nMtuscular glucose uptake, the following results were obtained: (a) A highly significant correlation between muscular glucose uptake and simultaneous arterial serum insulin ...

Article history: Received 26 May 2016 Accepted 26 May 2016 Available online 28 May 2016 2010). Nevertheless, the independent blinded assessments of passive and active movement combined with the reported effect sizes are still convincing to argue that a significant change in muscle stiffness was induced. Raghavan and colleagues must be complimented for their innovative approach and carefully exp...
