Rehabilitation Medicine
Neurology
Orthopedics

Background:

Botulinum toxin injections are a common treatment for spasticity.
Casting is recognized as an effective adjunctive therapy to botulinum toxin.
Existing literature lacks standardized protocols for upper limb casting post-botulinum toxin.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a standardized protocol for upper limb casting as an adjunctive therapy for elbow spasticity.
To detail the indications, contraindications, and technique for applying upper limb casts post-botulinum toxin injection.

Main Methods:

The study describes a clinical experience with upper limb casting.
The protocol includes required materials and a step-by-step technique for cast application.
Focus is on elbow spasticity management.

Main Results:

The article presents a practical protocol for upper limb casting.
It addresses the need for standardized procedures in spasticity management.
The described method aims to optimize the effects of botulinum toxin therapy.

Conclusions:

Standardized upper limb casting protocols are needed for spasticity management.
This article provides a detailed protocol for elbow spasticity treatment.
The described casting technique serves as an adjunctive therapy to botulinum toxin injections.
