Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if it is possible to use a new 3D imaging method to guide Botulinum neurotoxin (BTX) injection for muscle spasticity management after stroke. This imaging method is called three dimensional innervation zone imaging, or 3DIZI.

Primary Outcome

Each subject will receive a total of 60 degrees of computer-controlled elbow extension stretching at different speeds. The stretch ends at 10 degrees beyond the resting angle of the elbow joint during standing to offset the baseline difference among subjects. From the angle-torque relations, reflex torque is obtained after subtracting passive torque at 5˚/sec from those at 50˚/sec or 100˚/sec. Reflex torque is considered to reflect the neural component of muscle spasticity.
