Conditions:

Muscle Strength

Botulinum Toxins, Type A

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-54 years

Phase:

NA

Brief Summary

The purpose of this feasibility study is to determine if temporary weakness of a small foot muscle caused by local injection of botulinum toxin into that muscle can be measured with a strain gauge in ...

Detailed Description

Purpose/Hypothesis: Verify the validity and reliability of strain gauge assessment of strength of extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) muscle compared to compound muscle action potential (CMAP) size from ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Normal, healthy, male or female subjects, 18 to 54 years of age.
  • Written informed consent has been obtained.
  • Females with child-bearing potential have a negative urine pregnancy test and agree to use a reliable form of contraception during the study.
  • Ability to follow study instructions and likely to complete all required visits.
  • Written authorization for Use and Release of Health and Research Study Information has been obtained.

Exclusion

  • Abnormality by focused history and examination including the presence of foot deformity.
  • Abnormal (as determined by the investigator) screening nerve conduction studies of the lower limbs.
  • Identification of anomalous innervation of right EDB via screening nerve conduction studies.
  • The subject having a foot which does not adequately fit in the modified ankle-foot orthosis used with the strain gauge.
  • The subject having a foot in which anatomic bone landmarks cannot be adequately identified.
  • Body mass index (BMI) greater than 30.
  • History of significant (as determined by the investigator) lower limb injury or lower limb surgery
  • Any uncontrolled clinically significant medical condition.
  • Known allergy or sensitivity to any of the components in the study medication.
  • Females with a positive pregnancy test, or who are breast-feeding, planning a pregnancy during the study, who think that they may be pregnant at the start of the study, or females of childbearing potential who are unable or unwilling to use a reliable form of contraception during the study.
  • Concurrent participation in another investigational drug or device study or participation within 3 months prior to study.
  • Treatment with botulinum toxin of any serotype prior to enrollment in study or prior clinical botulism.
  • Any medical condition that may put the subject at increased risk with exposure to BOTOX including diagnosed myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or any other disorder that might interfere with neuromuscular function.
  • Evidence of alcohol abuse, drug abuse, or other relevant neuropsychiatric condition.
  • Infection or skin disorder at an anticipated injection site.
  • Any condition or situation that, in the investigator's opinion, may put the subject at significant risk, confound the study results (e.g. variable strength on serial testing during screening examination; or foot, toe, or ankle pain that may limit full participation in muscle strength testing), or interfere significantly with the subject's participation in the study.
