Editor's Notes
- Result of hyperexcitability of the stretch reflex Secondary to damage to the neurons of the corticospinal tracts, Loss of inhibitory supraspinal influences Characterised by Velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes (āmuscle toneā) With exaggerated deep tendon reflexes Complex problem Need for an integrated care pathway for these patients Post Stroke Spasticity Pathway developed using expert panel Requires MDT approach for optimum treatment
- MDTs are seen to be effective in Asian contexts of chronic stroke management, like that of Japanās Stroke Rehabilitation Unit (SRU) in Bobath Memorial Hospital, Osaka. And in Korean contexts as well. No surgeons involved Evidenceā rehab paper
- Volition, house , 6 patients received Botox injection 3 patients underwent hyperselective neurectomy in upper limb 1 patient with contractures underwent tendon lengthening procedure
- Nerve stimulation
- Hand function based on house classn; no improvement
- Multidisciplinary team approach ensures seamless process for stroke patients with problems of upper limb spasticity Highly selective neurectomy useful technique to relieve spasticity while preserving function Need for authentic and patient experienced outcome measures Effect for neurectomies Cognitive load in spasticity
