Descriptive analysis of the annual cost of treating spasticity with different types of botulinum toxin A.

Introduction: Botulinum toxin A is the first-line treatment for localised spasticity. However, the economic impact of this treatment is not fully known. This study aimed to describe the real costs of botulinum toxin A for the treatment of adult patients with spasticity at a spasticity clinic pertaining to a rehabilitation service, over a period of one year.

Effects of spatial working memory in balance during dual tasking in traumatic brain injury and healthy controls.

The aim of this research was to assess cognitive-motor interactions though dual tasks of working memory in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and control subjects. : Twenty patients with chronic TBI with good functional level and 19 matched healthy controls performed dual working memory tasks (1-back numeric and 1-back spatial (S)) while sitting, standing, and walking. The center of pressure (COP) displacement amplitude, cadence, and error percentage (PER) were recorded as dependent variables.
