It can result from traumatic brain or spinal cord injury, a stroke, a tumor, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy or other neurological disorders. Successful management of spasticity requires the expertise of a well-integrated team of clinicians. The primary members of the team include the patient and family, physician, nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist, and social worker. Treatment may include traditional therapy, medications injected into the spastic muscle used in conjunction with casting, splinting and orthotic management, and possibly orthopedic surgery. Implantation of the Baclofen pump is also available.
Ongoing management following initial intervention is provided in order to reach optimum outcome.
