Botulinum Toxin in the Management of Spasticity

Abstract

Spasticity is a diagnostic hallmark of an upper motor neuron disorder, and therapeutically, it represents one of the most important impairments for those who care for patients with central nervous system disease. It spans a variety of diagnoses, from cerebro vascular disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, and the like. It may affect patients of different age groups and impacts on a variety of functions such as hygiene, feeding, dressing, balance, ambulance, and other activities of daily living.
