Muscular spastic complications of the legs can alter significantly the ability to walk because it clinically manifests itself by a stiffness of the leg, thus generating a complication called \"Stif Knee Gait\" (SKG). It means that the femoro-patello-tibial articulation cannot be mobilized as it should because it stays spastic instead of being mobile.\n\nHowever, it remains possible to treat this kind of medical condition by using Botulinum toxin injections in the target muscle, in particular the rectus femoris (which is part of the quadriceps).\n\nAs a reminder, botulinum toxin, sold under the international common denomination \"Botox®\", is a neurotoxin of 150 kDa produced by the bacteria \"Clostridium Botulinum\" and is the most powerful natural poison known to humankind, with its DL50 between 1 and 2 nanogramms \u002F kg in humans. This toxin works by entering the neuro-muscular synaptic junctions and by linking itself to a proteic complex called SNARE. The link between the toxin and the SNARE complex inhibits the fusion of the acetylcholinergic synaptic vesicles with the plasmic membrane of the pre-synaptic axone. The Botox® blocks the exocytosis of the acetycholin (Ach) vesicle in the inter-synaptic space at the neuro-muscular junction and blocks the nervous transmission, thus generating muscular flaccid paralysis. This kind of intoxication is caused directly by an infection by Clostridium Botulinum and is called Botulism. It manifests itself clinically by flaccid paralysis, swelling, diarrhea tiredness, respiratory failure, vomiting etc…\n\nDespite its highly toxic properties, Botox® can be used as a therapeutic tool against number of medical conditions (strabismus, hyperhidrosis, migraines etc…) and even as a cosmetic tool (anti face-wrinkles). It can be used against spastic muscular paralysis, especially like the ones encountered in the patients of this study.\n\nThe current Standard Of Care (SOC) against SKG is to inject Botox into the rectus femoris in order to counter its spasticity. It has been shown to upgrade the walking ability of SKG patients by enhancing the leg kinetics. More precisely, it has been shown to improve the fluidity of the movement of the spastic leg in SKG patients, especially the knee flexion. However, the rectus femoris' contractility remains necessary to be able to stand up statically and to stay balanced during the walk and everyday-activity and the myorelaxant properties of Botox® may be problematic and alter the leg biomechanics despite its utility. To this day, no study has been published to compare the static and dynamic balance troubles before and after Botox injections in the rectus femoris.\n\nThe medical bibliography does not report any augmentation of the risk of fall in the case of Botox injection in the rectus femoris. However, we consider the hypothesis along which those injections can enhance the risk of fall. Therefore, we decided to conduct a monocentric, prospective observational clinical study to compare the state of the static and dynamic balance before and after Botox injections in the rectus femoris (in SKG patients) by using balance scores.\n\nIn order to complete this objective, we compared the following parameters before and after the Botox injection in SKG patients :\n\n* Time Up and Go test(in seconds) : primary evaluation criteria\n* Berg Balance Scale (BBS) : secondary evaluation criteria\n* Stair climb and descent time test (SCT) : secondary evaluation criteria.\n* Number of falls.",[204,205,27,206,207,208],"Botulinum Toxin Injection","Stiff Knee Gait","Rectus Femoris Muscle","Botox Injection","Spasticity With Multiple Sclerosis",[210,211,212,213,214],"Botulinum toxin injection","Rectus femoris","Balance troubles","Fall risk analysis","Stiff knee gait patients.","2025-09-19",{"date":217,"type":41},"2025-09-22",{"date":219,"type":20},"2025-10-01",{"date":221,"type":20},"2026-08-01",{"name":223,"class":48},"Hopital Nord Franche-Comte",{"id":225,"slug":226,"hasResults":11,"nctId":227,"briefTitle":228,"officialTitle":229,"acronym":230,"eligibilityCriteria":231,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":15,"minAge":114,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":232,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":234,"briefSummary":235,"conditions":236,"keywords":237,"overallStatus":37,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":243,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":244,"startDateStruct":246,"completionDateStruct":248,"leadSponsor":250,"locationsCount":49},"100560195","fall-risk-identification-and-management-for-older-veterans-100560195","NCT06573983","Fall Risk Identification and Management for Older Veterans","Development of a Fall Risk Identification and Management Model for Older Veterans","FRIM","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Screens positive for increased fall risk within GeriPACT, or generalPACT as needed, (answers \"yes\" to any of 3 screening questions)\n* 65 years of age and older\n* Positive screen on at least two fall risk factor assessments (Aim 1); Positive screen on at least one fall risk factor assessment (Aim 2)\n* Access to telehealth\n* Availability of an additional adult (e.g., caregiver or family member) to be present during the physical assessment\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Life expectancy \\\u003C12 months, as determined by PCP\n* Neurological diagnosis (e.g., cerebral vascular accident, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease)\n* Moderate cognitive impairment (\\\u003C13 on telephone Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-BLIND) or \\\u003C18 on MoCA Full administered during clinic visit in the previous 3 months)\n* Unstable condition that precludes safe participation in structured exercise (e.g., recent deep vein thrombosis) if expected fall risk factor is physical, as determined by PCP or chart review\n* Participation in any intervention components of the FRIM model, with the intention of reducing a FRIM fall risk factor, within the past 2 months\n* Currently using a wheelchair for mobilization\n* If it is in the opinion of the study staff that the participant would be at an increased suicide risk due to study procedures",{"count":233,"type":20},108,[23],"Falls are a common occurrence among older adults, and Veterans have an even higher risk of falling compared to non-Veterans.

Intervention will be given for a total of 40-50 minutes per session, 3 sessions\u002Fweek for consecutive 6 weeks And than the data will be recorded at the end of 6 weeks again.",[29,27,263,150,264,265,266],"Diabetes (DM)","Sensory Function","Diabetic Neuropathy Peripheral","Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation",[26,153,268,269,270,271,272,273],"Fear of fall","sensory function","Otago Exercises","Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation","Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy","Diabetes Mellitus","2025-08-07",{"date":276,"type":41},"2025-08-14",{"date":278,"type":41},"2024-09-13",{"date":280,"type":20},"2026-01-10",{"name":47,"class":48},{"id":283,"slug":284,"hasResults":11,"nctId":285,"briefTitle":286,"officialTitle":287,"acronym":288,"eligibilityCriteria":289,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":15,"minAge":172,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":290,"targetDuration":292,"studyType":119,"phases":4,"briefSummary":293,"conditions":294,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":67,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":298,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":299,"startDateStruct":301,"completionDateStruct":303,"leadSponsor":305,"locationsCount":49},"100583945","applications-of-ultrasound-and-physical-parameters-in-assessing-fall-risk-in-patients-with-knee-osteoarthritis-100583945","NCT06882928","Applications of Ultrasound and Physical Parameters in Assessing Fall Risk in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis","Applications of Ultrasound and Physical Parameters in Assessing Fall Risk Among Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Prospective Cohort Study","UPPFR-KneeOA","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.

Therefore, it is crucial to assess fall risk early in rehabilitation clinics. Sarcopenia, which is the reduction of muscle mass, increases the risk of falls. This study involved 250 adults with knee osteoarthritis, using a technology called POCUS to assess muscle mass, combined with other tests to track fall incidents over three months. The study is expected to find correlations between falls and factors like muscle mass and grip strength. This information can help doctors better predict which patients are at risk of falling and take preventive measures early. Future research will explore the effectiveness of different prevention strategies.",[295,296,27,297],"Knee Osteoarthritis","Ultrasound Exams","Sarcopenia in Elderly","2025-03-18",{"date":300,"type":41},"2025-03-19",{"date":302,"type":20},"2025-03-24",{"date":304,"type":20},"2026-12-31",{"name":306,"class":48},"National Taiwan University Clinical Trial Center"]
