Goal Attainment Scaling in Upper Limb Spasticity Treatment
Goal Attainment Scaling in Upper Limb Spasticity Treatment With Botulinum Toxin and the Influence of Regular Exercise for Spastic Upper Limb on Quality of Life in Patients After Stroke
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Patients after stroke with upper limb spasticity treated with botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A) will be included in this two-part study. In the first part, goal attainment scaling and comprehensive assessment of motor functioning will be performed before BTX-A application and after two weeks. In the second part, the patients will be randomised into a test group performing prescribed regular exercise for two weeks and a control group exercising at their own discretion during the same period, whereby the patients' health-related quality of life will be assessed at the beginning and end of the two-week period.
