Mobilizing a spastic hand

More about the book

Spasticity is a functional disorder, which is commonly observed as a consequence of stroke or other neurological damages. Often, paresis and hypertension are associated with spasticity and lead to inactivity of the affected muscles. This program gives caregivers as well as therapists an instrument to intensively support the treatment of the patient’s affected hand in addition to the actual therapy. The exercises for the mobilization of a paretic, hypertonic or spastic hand are supposed to optimise musculoskeletal conditions as well as prevent contracture and preserve joint mobility.
