  • Title: Spasticity: its physiology and management. Part IV. Current and projected treatment procedures for spasticity.
    Author: Bishop B.
    Journal: Phys Ther; 1977 Apr; 57(4):396-401. PubMed ID: 322159.
    Abstract:
    Today's prescriptions for treating spasticity may include pharmacological, surgical, or physical procedures. All derive their rationale from the classical concepts of decerebrate rigidity and of brain organization as discussed in Part I. This paper describes the advantages and disadvantages of these current treatment procedures and proposes that recent discoveries about the "recovery" capabilities of the central nervous system may influence the means for managing spasticity in the future.
