Association of spasticity and motor dysfunction in chronic stroke
ConclusionsThe prevalence of increased tone was higher in this study than in previous reports. Increased muscle tone in chronic stroke survivors with persistent motor dysfunction could be associated with impaired motor control and differential muscle strength of antagonistic muscles.

Botulinum toxin type A or selective neurotomy for treating focal spastic muscle overactivity?
ConclusionBotulinum toxin type A has the highest level of evidence and the largest range of indications. However, the botulinum toxin effect is reversible and seems less effective, which supports a permanent surgical treatment such as selective neurotomy, especially for the spastic foot. Further research is needed to compare the effect of botulinum toxin type A and selective neurotomy for the different types of spastic muscle overactivity and clinical patterns.

Analgesic gas for rehabilitation of frozen shoulder: protocol for a randomized controlled trial
This study will also address the effect of pain during rehabilitation in adhesive capsulitis. Furthermore, results from the 6-month multidimensional follow-up of painful mobilization for this condition could be extrapolated to other musculoskeletal conditions.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov no. NCT01087229. (Source: Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine)
