Pharmacological management of muscle spasticity [PDF]
Journal of the Korean Medical Association, 2022 Background: Muscle spasticity is a neurologic disorder, which is considered one of the positive signs of upper motor neuron diseases. Spasticity is common after brain or spinal cord injury. Since spasticity results in tendon retraction, muscle weakness, pain, ankylosis, and disability in activities of daily living, treatment is warranted.Current ...
