"Early identification and treatment of spasticity can have a profound impact on a person's function and quality of life," says Rehabilitation Physician Dr Mariska Stuurstraat.
Spasticity can develop after neurological conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, brain injury or spinal cord injury, causing muscle stiffness, pain and difficulties with movement. For many people, these symptoms can affect everyday activities, independence and wellbeing.
