Severe spasticity is a condition that can affect a person’s ability to move one or more of their limbs, or to move one side of the body. It may be associated with spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, and brain injury. Effective treatment of severe spasticity may*: • improve gait, hygiene, activities of daily living, and ease of care. • decrease spasm frequency, pain, and fatigue. • promote tone reduction and complement rehabilitative therapies. Clinicians can learn more at www.professional.medtronic.com Resources for people with severe spasticity and their caregivers can be found at Anna E.
