Scoping Review of Botulinum Toxin for Post-Stroke Lower Limb Function, 2015-2025

A scoping review synthesizing evidence from 29 studies published between 2015 and 2025 on botulinum toxin interventions for lower limb function after stroke. Maria Cochrane-Boeyens conducted the review, mapping outcomes to the International Classification of Health, Disability and Function (ICF) domains. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04 09:34:44 and is available as a 20.6 KB Excel file.

Use Cases

• Systematic evidence mapping based on the ICF framework categories mentioned in the description
• Analyzing intervention trends based on the reported focus on botulinum toxin combined with physiotherapy
• Identifying research gaps based on the underrepresentation of participation-level outcomes noted in the review

Strengths

• Follows established scoping review methodology (Joanna Briggs Institute, PRISMA-ScR)
• Includes 29 studies, predominantly randomized controlled trials
• Outcomes are systematically mapped to the ICF domains of body functions, activity, and participation

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data is limited to a 20.6 KB file, indicating a small, synthesized dataset
