Post‑stroke spasticity overview
Spasticity after stroke can impair movement and function. Management blends therapy with medications and injections when indicated.
We prioritise functional goals, positioning and splinting, and coordinate botulinum toxin or other interventions in selected cases.
Progress is measured by comfort, ease of care and participation in rehab tasks.
