Knee kinematics before and 6 and 18 weeks after BtA injection
| Kinematics | Before injections | 6 weeks after injections | 18 weeks after injections | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum angle | SD | Maximum angle | SD | Maximum angle | SD | |
| Ankle dorsiflexion in stance phase | −3.0° | 14.3° | 6.2°* | 14.2° | 4.5° | 10.4° |
| Ankle dorsiflexion during gait cycle | −1.9° | 13.7° | 7.2°* | 10.7° | 4.8° | 9.8° |
| Knee recurvatum during midstance | −12.4° | 9.4° | −10.2° | 11.4° | −6.2° | 6.0° |
BtA = botulinum toxin; * significant difference (p < 0.05 in t-test) compared with the values before injection.
