The work distinguishes the contribution of intrinsic and reflexive ankle joint resistance for participants treated with BoNT-A injections to reduce spasticity.
In short, we only observed the expected joint resistance reduction due to BoNT-A injections in the MAS (overall resistance). This observed reduction could not be attributed to an unambiguous group-level reduction of the reflexive resistance contribution, as no instrumented measure confirmed the hypothesis. Validity of the instrumented measures was supported through a strong association between different assessment methods.
