Condensed and Distributed Robotic Therapy in Spastic Stroke Post Botulinum Toxin Injection

"BoNT-A injections Botox brand BoNT-A Purified Neurotoxin Complex, (Allergan Pharmaceuticals, Irvine, CA) will be prepared by diluting lyophilized toxin with 0.9% saline to a concentration of 33-100 U/ml. depending on the size of the target muscle. Location of the targeted muscle will be confirmed by using echo guide.~Training procedures There are total 24 training sessions following one week after injection. Participants in the condensed practice group will receive 4 sessions per week, for 6 weeks.~During each practice session, participants first receive 40 minutes of repetitive RT with the InMotion 3.0 robot (Interactive Motion Technologies Inc., Watertown, MA), followed by 40 minutes of transition-to-task practice."
