Effect of Intrathecal Baclofen Bolus Injection on Ankle Muscle Activation During Gait in Patients With Acquired Brain Injury

Conclusions. ITB bolus injection alters the activation of MG and TA during gait. However, the changes in muscle activation are not closely related to the changes in gait speed or resting muscle hypertonia. The analysis of ankle muscle activation during gait better characterizes the response to ITB bolus injection than gait kinematics.
