Spasticity Management: An Overview

Edward M. Goldstein

Child Neurology Associates, Spasticity 'treatment Center and Muscular Dystrophy Association Clinic, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite Children's Medical Center, Atlanta, GA

Recent developments in therapeutic interventions for children with spasticity have complicated managerial decision making. A simplified paradigm for the pathophysiology of spasticity is presented, which emphasizes the ways in which treatment modalities disrupt hyperexcitable segmental spinal reflex arcs. Various techniques for the management of spasticity are reviewed, along with factors relevant to proper patient selection for therapeutic intervention. Potential goals for spasticity management are considered as are outcome measures for assessing the efficacy of these technologies. (J Child Neurol 2001;16:16-23).
