Novel approach to the application of botulinum toxin to the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle in acquired brain injury.
To determine if the finger flexor mapping technique is useful in the reduction of spasticity when injecting neurotoxin within the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle. ⋯ This novel technique appears to be feasible and effective for placement of botulinum toxin in the treatment of finger flexor spasticity. Further studies are warranted to compare this method of administration with other injection approaches for the treatment of finger flexor spasticity.
