Effects of BTX and Robot (HAL)
タイトル（掲載誌）The Journal of Medical Investigation
一般注記Spasticity is the major cause of disabilities in stroke-survivors. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections have been used to reduce the muscle tone in those patients, but its efficacy in functional outcome is not well delineated. We have studied the effect of a robot (Hybrid-Assisted Limb or HAL™) designed for assisting the elbow flexion and extension in those who underwent BoNT injections with reduced muscle tone. We enrolled 15 post stroke patients who had BoNT injections for more than 12 months. They were measured for active ROM (range of motion) with video recordings before and after the use of HAL for 40 minutes. Active ROM was measured by a rater who were blinded as to the use of the robot. Significant increase of active ROM was observed immediately after the use of HAL, and the effect was maintained for another 12 months by repeating the sessions. It is suggested from present study that the combined use of BoNT and robotics is effective efficacious for regaining the active function of the upper limb in stroke survivors.
