Prevalence and predictors of post-stroke spasticity and its impact on daily living and quality of life.

CONCLUSION: Spasticity, which affects a significant proportion of stroke survivors, was present in 35% of our patients at 12 months after stroke. It has a major impact on both ADL and HRQoL. Severe disability and muscle weakness are the most important predictors of persistent post-stroke spasticity. PMID: 31845749 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
