OBJECTIVES: Evaluate upper limb performance in adults receiving botulinum toxin-A injections for upper limb spasticity using Dynamic Computerised Hand Dynamometry and current clinical measures. DESIGN: Pre-test/post-test clinical intervention study. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS: Twenty-eight participants with spasticity following acquired brain injury. METHODS: Botulinum toxin-A effects were measured 4 weeks post-injection using Dynamic Computerised Dynamometry. Current clinical upper limb performance measures spanning the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health domains were also conducted at the Body Function and Structure (Modified Ashworth ScaleDownloads
