case_images: Comfortable overground gait velocity, Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) score of ankle flexors, and passive range of motion (ROM) of ankle dorsiflexion before and after all injections. Each evaluation score was plotted. The patient was evaluated 4 times at each injection (just before the injection and at 2, 6, and 12 weeks after the injection), and the 4 values were connected. The X-axis indicates the number of injections.

case_images: The comfortable overground gait velocity, MAS score of the ankle flexors, and passive ROM of ankle dorsi flexion are shown in Fig. 1.
case_images: Abnormal gait patterns before and after all injections. The maximum pes varus angle during the swing phase, degree of abnormal gait patterns, and treadmill belt speed at that time (grey) are shown. The patient was evaluated 4 times at each injection (just before the injection and at 2, 6, and 12 weeks after the injection), and the 4 values were connected. The indices for the degree of abnormal gait patterns were calculated as the deviation values from healthy individuals; deviation 50 indicates the average of healthy individuals, while deviation 30 (mean-2 SD) to 70 (mean+2SD) indicates the normal range. Using the deviation value, 1 can easily understand the relative severity compared with other abnormal gait patterns. The X-axis indicates the number of injections.
