Long-Term Effects With Potential Clinical Importance of Botulinum Toxin Type-A on Mechanics of Muscles Exposed

Botulinum toxin type-A (BTX-A) is widely used for spasticity management and mechanically aims at reducing passive resistance at the joint and widening joint range of movement. However, recent experiments on acute BTX-A effects showed that the injected rat tibialis anterior (TA) muscle’s passive forc...
