About the Book

This is a practical reference and guide for physicians, surgeons, therapists, orthotists, bioengineers and other health professionals involved in the management of a disabled individual with upper motor neurone syndrome and spasticity. It is a thorough review, covering all aspects of management from physiotherapy, seating, and orthoses to the use of drugs. It examines the neurophysiology of spasticity, measurement of outcome, and the newer treatment techniques, such as phenol and alcohol nerve blocks and botulinum toxin injections. More invasive procedures, including intrathecal baclofen and surgical intervention for more complex and severe spasticity, are covered in detail, and the final chapter looks closely at the management of spasticity in children.

Review :
'... clear and clinically relevant ... a good foundation for clinical practice ...'. Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry 'This is a thorough review on all aspects of the management of a disabled person with upper motor neurone syndrome and spasticity.' Aslib Book Guide 'There is an excellent chapter on the Neurophysiology of Spasticity, which is well written and should be easily understood by non-physiologists ... The book is a welcome addition to the library of Neurologists and Neurosurgeons particularly those involved in Neurohabilitation, as well as Allied Health professionals involved in the treatment of patients with spasticity.' Journal of Clinical Neuroscience '... the discussion on orthoses and splinting is excellent and presents a balanced view in a useful and succinct way ... This is a book that is likely to be read by those in palliative medicine who look after people with advanced chronic neurological disease ...'. Palliative Medicine 'I would recommend this book to the neurological team. Each member would gain knowledge from this book and it would guide the team to work in a more cohesive manner with better understanding of each member's role.' Neuropsychological Rehabilitation
