Initiating a pediatric spasticity program with multispecialty and multi-institutional support: a preliminary report.

Abstract:

:We describe the initiation and development of a comprehensive multidisciplinary and multi-institutional program for the evaluation and management of youth with spasticity. A descriptive step-by-step process of the administrative and organizational sequence of the development of the program is delineated. The Spasticity Clinic now meets regularly, and multiple diagnostic and treatment modalities are performed. This experience may assist those that wish to initiate a similar venue for youth with spasticity.
