Neurological rehabilitation and the management of spasticity

This review describes the approach to patients with neurological disability using careful assessment, goal-setting, intervention and evaluation. This approach can be used throughout the patient journey to improve function, prevent complications and minimize distress to patients, families and carers. As patients with long-term conditions make up a large proportion of general medical admissions and general practitioner consultations, every practitioner who looks after people with neurological disability should have rehabilitation skills including shared decision-making and goal-setting.
