Ultrasound Guided Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection of Subacromial-Subdeltoid Bursa in Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain

Summary

Good shoulder function is a prerequisite for effective hand function, as well as for performing multiple tasks involving mobility, ambulation, and activities of daily living (ADL). A common sequela of stroke is hemiplegic shoulder pain, which can hamper functional recovery and subsequently lead to disability. Hemiplegic shoulder pain can begin as early as 2 weeks post stroke but typically occurs within 2-3 months post stroke.
