Botox for stiff knees: could it make you fall more?
NCT ID NCT07108920
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looks at whether Botox injections into the thigh muscle (rectus femoris) to treat stiff knee gait affect balance and raise the risk of falls. Researchers will measure balance and walking speed in 15 adults with stiff knee gait from stroke, brain injury, or multiple sclerosis before and after their Botox treatment. The goal is to see if the muscle-relaxing effect of Botox might accidentally make standing and walking less stable.
