Spasticity Management Guidelines

Spasticity management guidelines provide a structured approach to reduce muscle stiffness and involuntary movements caused by nerve system conditions like stroke or brain injury. They recommend assessing the severity and impact of spasticity, setting treatment goals, and choosing appropriate therapies. These may include physical therapy, medications like muscle relaxants, injections (e.g., Botox), or, in some cases, surgical options. The aim is to improve movement, reduce pain, and enhance daily function while minimizing side effects. Regular monitoring and adjusting treatments are essential for optimal care tailored to each person's needs.
