Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: 1. Demonstrate that repeated injections of high-dose botulinum toxin significantly improve the functional functioning of hemiplegic spastic adult patients compared to single-dose, moderate-dose injections. 2. Demonstrate the validity of the low-cost KI-Gait walk analysis system, based on the Kinect infrared camera device, in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and in hemiplegic adults. Demonstrate that repeated injections of high-dose botulinum toxin significantly improve the functional functioning of hemiplegic spastic patients compared to single-dose, moderate-dose injections ;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): Functional assessments will be based on the WHO International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. Assessment by clinical exam and by NMR;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The evaluations will be done at Mont 1, month 3 and month 6. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Impairments will be assessed using clinical examination (evaluation of range of motion by manual goniometry, spasticity by modified Ashworth and Tardieu scales, evaluation of motor control by the Fugl-Meyer test), by functional data (10-meter fast-running speed, modified 6-minute test22, timed rise and fall test, 23 Timed Up and Go Test24) and AQM. Activity limitations will be assessed using the ABILOCO25 questionnaire. The quality of life of patients will be evaluated by the French version of Short-Form Health Survey SF-36.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The evaluations will be done at Mont 1, month 3, month 4, month 6 and month 7. | — |
