Group	Intervention	Description
onabotulinumtoxinA 300U	onabotulinumtoxinA	OnabotulinumtoxinA 300U injected into predefined muscles of the study limb on Day 1.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change From Baseline in the Modified Ashworth Scale-Bohannon (MAS-B) Score of Elbow Flexors Using a 6-Point Scale	Baseline, Week 6	The MAS-B is a 6-point scale used to evaluate spasticity based on grading the resistance encountered in the elbow flexors by passively moving the elbow flexor muscles through their range of motion. The score ranges from 0 (no increase in muscle tone) to 4 (affected part(s) rigid in flexion or extension). Scores are converted to a 0 to 5 grade. A negative number change from baseline indicates an improvement and a positive number change from baseline indicates a worsening.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change From Baseline in the MAS-B Score of Shoulder Adductors Using a 6-Point Scale	Baseline, Week 6	The MAS-B is a 6-point scale used to evaluate spasticity based on grading the resistance encountered in the shoulder adductors by passively moving the shoulder adductor muscles through their range of motion. The score ranges from 0 (no increase in muscle tone) to 4 (affected part(s) rigid in flexion or extension). Scores are converted to a 0 to 5 grade. A negative number change from baseline indicates an improvement and a positive number change from baseline indicates a worsening.
Change From Baseline in Pain on an 11-Point Scale	Baseline, Week 6	The patient is asked to select a number that best describes his/her pain in the treated areas of the study limb on an 11-point scale from 0 = "no pain" to 10 = "pain as bad as can be imagined". Patients are instructed to recall their average pain in the study limb during the 48-hour period prior to the visit. Patients with a baseline pain score \>0 are included in the analyses. A negative number change from baseline indicates an improvement and a positive number change from baseline indicates a worsening.
Change From Baseline in the Dressing Domain Score on the Spasticity Impact Assessment-Upper Limb (SIA-UL)	Baseline, Week 6	The SIA-UL asks the patient to assess the impact of upper limb spasticity in his/her daily life on a 19-item scale. The scale covers impacts on activities of dressing, showering/bathing, and self-care. The SIA score ranged from 0 (not at all difficult) to 4 (extremely difficult) for each question. The dressing domain was calculated based on the average of 2 questions.
Change From Baseline in the Showering/Bathing Domain Score on the Spasticity Impact Assessment-Upper Limb (SIA-UL)	Baseline, Week 6	The SIA-UL asks the patient to assess the impact of upper limb spasticity his/her daily life on a 19-item scale. The scale covers impacts on activities of dressing, showering/bathing, and self-care. The SIA score ranged from 0 (not at all difficult) to 4 (extremely difficult) for each question. The showering/bathing domain was based on a single question.
Change From Baseline in the Self-Care Domain Score on the Spasticity Impact Assessment-Upper Limb (SIA-UL)	Baseline, Week 6	The SIA-UL asks the patient to assess the impact of upper limb spasticity in his/her daily life on a 19-item scale. The scale covers impacts on activities of dressing, showering/bathing, and self-care. The SIA score ranged from 0 (not at all difficult) to 4 (extremely difficult) for each question. The self-care domain was calculated based on the average of 4 questions.
