Written by leading experts in neurology and rehabilitation, the book covers physical and occupational therapy, splinting and orthotics, electrical stimulation, orthopedic interventions, nerve blocks, the use of botulinum toxin, and novel treatments such as tizanidine, intrathecal medications, and neurosurgical techniques.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Clinical Evaluation and Management of Spasticity constitutes today's definitive clinical reference on spasticity, and provides a framework for all physicians and physical therapists to develop effective treatment plans for their patients.
