Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether injections of Botulinum toxin type A into muscles of the upper limb are effective in treating spasticity in patients after stroke.

Primary Outcome

Primary target clinical pattern was defined by investigator for each subject at baseline visit and was either flexed wrist or clenched fist or flexed elbow. The Ashworth Scale is well known and commonly used in clinical trials with spasticity. It was used to categorize severity of spasticity by judging resistance to passive movement. It is a 5-point scale that ranges from 0 (=no increase in tone) to 4 (=limb rigid in flexion or extension).
