Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Strong evidence has been established for the use of botulinum neurotoxin therapy for spasticity resulting from conditions such as brain injury and some degenerative diseases. Additionally, it has been suggested that incorporating rehabilitation and adjunctive therapies can not only improve spasticity but also enhance overall functionality. In this Special Issue, we provide readers with various rehabilitation approaches, adjunctive therapies, and treatment strategies related to botulinum toxin therapy.
