The flexor digitorum superficialis, flexor digitorum profundus, flexor carpi ulnaris, and flexor carpi radialis muscles were injected with 150 units each at 1 site per muscle. Conversely, Barthel Index scores did not change in a study by Hesse et al[15] in which nine subjects with left hemiparesis were injected with botulinum toxin A in the brachialis, biceps brachii, flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis, and flexor carpi ulnaris muscles. There was weakness about the right triceps brachii and biceps brachii muscles (which I thought was consistent with disuse weakness) and the right forearm and hand, with Poor minus strength in the flexor carpi ulnaris and flexor digitorum profundus muscles to digits 4 and 5 (which I thought was consistent with ulnar injury at the elbow). |
