Abstract Concise and accessible, Handbook of Spasticity is the essential reference for residents and practicing physicians in the fields of PM&R and neurology. It allows readers to learn the fundamentals of spasticity management while also adding important spasticity concepts to their day-to-day practice. This high-yield resource provides current evidence-based treatment paradigms and discusses advances in the field to address assessment, treatment options, and disease management in adult and pediatric patients. Written by experts from institutions around the world, this valuable handbook fuses the fundamentals of spasticity with a case-based approach to enhance learning for those early into their career as well as practicing physiatrists, neurologists, nurses, physician assistants, and therapists who care for patients with spasticity. Assessment and evaluation measures are detailed, focusing on measurements and scales, gait assessment, and techniques for setting appropriate goals. A wide variety of treatment options available for spasticity patients are explored, including physical therapy, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments, emerging technologies, toxins, surgical options, and more. Complete with accompanying online videos, ultrasound and anatomical figures, and toxin dosing tables, Handbook of Spasticity is the premier one-stop-shop resource on how to improve spasticity management. Key Features: Succinctly covers key spasticity definitions, assessment scales, treatment options, and disease management for a wide range of conditions Provides the latest guidelinesand evidence-based practices in the field Features contributions from leading clinicians and educators in physiatry and neurology Case-based chapters and accompanying online video content showcase patient assessment in real-world settings Includes images for ultrasound guidance and anatomical correlates and tables with dosing guidance for toxins
