Goal analysis in patients with limb spasticity treated with incobotulinumtoxinA in the TOWER study.

CONCLUSIONS: The ICF offers a broad framework for setting patient-centered, easily understandable goals for patients with spasticity, including goals related to (guided) self-management activities. This analysis sheds new light on patient needs and could direct future goal-driven botulinum toxin spasticity treatment focused on enabling patients to better manage activity limitations imposed by their body function impairments. Trial registration: NCT01603459 registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01603459). Implications for Rehabilitation The ICF offers a broad framework for setting patient-centered, easily understandable goals for patients with spasticity. ICF domains that include general tasks and demands can be used to establish goals relating to (guided) self-management of spasticity. An ICF-based goal-setting framework may increase the comparability of clinical data across studies. PMID: 32805151 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
