Improvement in functional skills is typically a goal of spasticity management.
Spasticity management alone will improve the positive signs of the upper motor
neuron syndrome without functional change. In this review, we demonstrate that a
variety of therapy modalities are required to facilitate these improvements and
impact the negative signs of the upper motor neuron syndrome. The evidence for
neuromuscular electrical stimulation, surface electromyography training, serial
casting, body weight-supported treadmill training, constraint-induced movement
therapy, strengthening, and endurance training is reviewed as it relates to
spasticity management.
