Brief Summary

The aim of the present pilot study is to evaluate the association between change in gait related mobility in ambulatory male and female adult hemiparetic patients before and 4-6-weeks after Xeomin® injection into the upper limb, using two standardized tests of physical function in outpatient rehabilitation that are widely used; the 10-meter walk test and the timed 'up and go' test (TUG).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of hemiparesis and spasticity secondary to stroke with upper and lower limb spasticity and unilateral motor and/or sensory deficit * No prior surgery to the lower limb * Able to walk at least 10 meters without physical assistance from another person and without an assistive device * Toe- ground clearance during swing phase without assistive device or orthoses * No treatment with botulinum toxin within the past 4 months Exclusion Criteria: * Passive range of motion at either the ankle, knee, or elbow joint less than 30 degrees * Participants with uncorrected hearing impairment * Weight bearing restrictions due to concurrent orthopedic injuries that would make ambulating with or without an assistive device unsafe * Speech language expression deficit (e.g., aphasia) * Absence of proprioception upon neurologic examination * Presence of fixed contractures in the upper or lower extremities not correctable to neutral * Other confounding neurological diagnoses or active acute illness (cancer, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis)
