Pdf Summary
Spasticity is a common symptom resulting from neurological damage that impairs mobility and function. Assessing spasticity can be challenging, but various tools like clinician and patient-reported measures can help evaluate severity. Treatment options include exercise, physical therapy, medications (e.g., baclofen, tizanidine), injections (e.g., botulinum toxin), and surgical interventions. Personalized management plans tailored to individual needs are crucial, and regular follow-up is necessary for optimal outcomes. Research continues to identify new treatments and assessment tools for spasticity.
