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 cerebrovascular 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.
