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.
15 sty 2021 · The mere presence of spasticity is not enough reason to initiate treatment. A thoughtful assessment of the clinical picture and functional impairment is the first step in establishing a management strategy, followed by treatment goal setting.
20 wrz 2021 · Spasticity is estimated to occur in almost 25% of patients within 2 weeks post-stroke. 14,15 However, after 12 months, the overall prevalence of spasticity increases to 38% in patients surviving a first stroke and 44% for those with recurrent stroke admissions. 16 Severe or disabling spasticity has been reported in approximately 15% of post ...
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy maintenance of the periodic and long term BoNT-A treatment, associated with post-injection rehabilitation, in reducing spasticity at the level of PF muscles, and in the preservation of the functional level in stroke survivors with PSS.
10 lut 2024 · This article aims to provide a concise overview of the best available evidence for managing post-stroke spasticity. A modified scoping review, conducted following the PRISMA guidelines and the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR), involved an intensive search on Medline and PubMed from 1 January 2000 to 31 August 2023.
Poststroke spasticity (PSS) is associated with significant consequences for a patient's functional status and quality of life.
