15 sty 2021 · Introduction. Post-stroke spasticity (PSS) is a complication that contributes to limitations in performance of activities and community participation. It occurs in anywhere from 19% (Sommerfeld et al. 2004) to 92% (Malhotra et al. 2011) of stroke survivors.
13 wrz 2012 · What is PSS and How Common Is It? Spasticity, commonly defined as “a motor disorder characterized by a velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes with exaggerated tendon jerks, resulting from hyperexcitability of the stretch reflex, as one component of the upper motor neuron syndrome,” 1 is a common complication of stroke.
The estimated prevalence of PSS is 21% in the first week (7), 19% at 3 months, 22% at 4 months, 43% at 6 months (8) and 17-46% at 12 months post-stroke (9 - 11). Sensorimotor function has been found to be the most important predictor for any, or severe, spasticity (12).
1 gru 2018 · A significant proportion of stroke survivors present with spasticity. Post-stroke spasticity might have an impact on comfort, posture, ease of care, and function, and may increase the risk of comorbid complications, such as contractures and skin ulcers.
20 wrz 2021 · The SALGOT study, examining post-stroke upper limb spasticity, concluded that reduced sensorimotor function was the most important predictor for both spasticity and severe spasticity at 12 months post-stroke and that spasticity could be predicted with high sensitivity at 10 days post-stroke. 25
19 sty 2021 · Poststroke spasticity (PSS) severely impairs upper-limb flexibility and the ability of walking and moving, mostly resulting from five characteristic arm spasticity patterns, four common ankle and foot spasticity patterns and stiff-knee gait (7 – 11).
15 sty 2021 · Spasticity is a common complication of stroke that results in impairments and limitations in performance of activities and participation. Although it is an important problem, spasticity, defined as velocity-dependent muscle overactivity, is only one component of the upper motor neuron syndrome (UMNS ….
