New rehab after botox aims to strengthen foot lift in stroke survivors
NCT ID NCT07260565
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special strengthening and fatigue protocol using an isokinetic dynamometer can improve foot lift strength and walking more than standard rehab after Botox injections. Thirty adults with spastic foot drop will be randomly assigned to either the new protocol or usual therapy. The main goal is to see if foot lifter strength improves more with the new approach.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
botulinum toxin injection followed by isokinetic rehabilitation protocol
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective rehabilitation routine to improve walking and foot strength after Botox for spastic foot drop.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The special protocol may not prove better than standard rehab.
