Demos Medical Publishing Spasticity: Diagnosis And Management 2Nd Edition by Allison Brashear and Elie P Elovic
Thoroughly updated and expanded, the new edition of the defining reference on spasticity brings together leaders from all involved disciplines to reflect current thinking and practice. Spasticity: Diagnosis and Management clearly delineates the process for confirming a diagnosis of spasticity, the basic science behind its pathophysiology, the measurement tools used for evaluation, and reviews the available treatment options. Divided into four sections, this comprehensive clinical resource provides a roadmap for assessing the complicated picture of spasticity and choosing the appropriate interventions. Therapies including oral medications, intrathecal baclofen, botulinum toxin and phenol, and surgical options are extensively examined, as are non-medical therapies and emerging technologies. In the final section, experienced clinicians address the full spectrum of diseases involving spasticity in adults and children and the unique diagnostic and management challenges they present.
