The two mainstays of nonpharmacological spasticity management are the removal of noxious stimuli that can drive hypertonicity and the application of physical modalities. Comorbidities of neurological ...
Spasticity is a common consequence of upper motor neuron lesions such as stroke, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis, characterised by a velocity-dependent increase in muscle tone and ...
In cerebral palsy (CP), the spastic motor type is most common, associated with a velocity-dependent increase in muscle stiffness that precedes the development of fixed muscle contracture. In ...
SPASTICITY REFERS TO AN ABNORMAL, velocity-dependent (i.e., how fast the joint is moved through its range) increase in muscle tone resulting from interruption of the neural circuitry regulating the ...
Four times a year, Marilyn Starcevich and her husband drive more than 400 miles from their home in Butte, Montana to Salt Lake City, Utah. Why? The Spasticity Management Program at Craig H. Neilsen ...
We selected the prospective cohort study by Funk et al. (2015) for a full commentary because the study was highlighted as important by topic expert feedback. Selective dorsal rhizotomy is an ...
Being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis can, naturally, have an enormous impact on your life. You may need to make some lifestyle changes and try a few treatments to help manage the various symptoms, ...
Spasticity is formally defined as a velocity-dependent increase in resistance to passive range of motion. It is a hallmark of neurological diseases that affect the central nervous system, including ...
