Post-stroke Spasticity
Description
When a person has a stroke there can be severe physical consequences and side effects. One side effect that many people don't think about is called spasticity; it often shows up several weeks, even months, after the stroke. And it can be both painful and debilitating. This program explains what post-stroke spasticity is, tells what treatments are available to manage it, and features patients talking about their struggles to regain their quality of life.
