Abstract
ITB bolus injection consistently reduces spasticity in ambulatory patients with acquired brain injury but may result in a range of changes in walking performance that can be reliably detected using computerized motion analysis. Velocity appears to be the most sensitive parameter with which to classify individual patient response. The relation between baseline gait velocity and peak change in velocity after bolus administration may have application in predicting the outcome of screening trials for pump implantation; it warrants further investigation.
