Guided self-rehabilitation contracts (GSCs) are a diary-based rehabilitation strategy, wherein specific muscles are identified for prescription of high-load, home self-stretching techniques. We assessed the effect of GSCs combined with simultaneous upper limb (UL) and lower limb (LL) abobotulinumtoxinA injections on composite active range of motion (CXA) in adults with chronic spastic paresis.
