Spasticity

Spasticity Treatments

Spasticity is a widespread and debilitating condition, associated with some very common neurologic disorders—multiple sclerosis, stroke, cerebral palsy, spinal cord and brain injury. While the incidence of spasticity is not known with certainty, it is likely that it affects over half a million people in the United States alone, and over 12 million worldwide.

Spasticity can have a devastating affect on function, comfort, and care delivery, and may also lead to musculoskeletal complications. Spasticity does not always require treatment, but when it does, a wide range of effective therapies—used alone or in combination—are now available.
