Rehabilitation in practice: Spasticity management.

Abstract:

:This series of articles for rehabilitation in practice aims to cover a knowledge element of the rehabilitation medicine curriculum. Nevertheless they are intended to be of interest to a multidisciplinary audience. The competency addressed in this article is 'The trainee consistently demonstrates a knowledge of the pathophysiology of various specific impairments including spasticity'. Spasticity is an extremely common feature of chronic neurological conditions and, if badly managed, it can result in pain, contractures and pressure sores, all of which can impact on function. It is therefore essential that a multidisciplinary management strategy is in place to help the individual manage their particular situation through education with timely access to interventions including instigation of a physical management programme and medication such as baclofen, tizanidine, dantrolene, benzodiazepines and gabapentin. Further treatment options for focal spasticity are botulinum toxin and phenol nerve blocks or intrathecal baclofen or phenol for predominant lower limb spasticity. Ongoing assessment with the use of appropriate outcome measures can both guide choice of treatment and monitor efficacy.
