Spasticity that interferes with upper extremity function is common in adults following stroke, brain injury, or anoxia.

Techniques to temporarily reduce spasticity include the implantation of a microport reservoir and catheter for repeated brachial plexus blocks and phenol nerve blocks, which provide longer lasting relief of noxious muscle tone.
