- Your 6 - Phase health Process
Your Complete Post-Stroke Spasticity & Rehab Management Journey
🩺Phase 1: Symptoms Identification
- Common signs include:Increased muscle tone (stiffness) in arms or legs after stroke
- Difficulty moving or straightening limbs
- Painful muscle spasms or clenching of fists/toes
- Impact on daily activities like walking, dressing, or hygiene
🔬Phase 2: OPD Consultation & Assessment
- Neurological exam to assess tone, range of motion, and functional limitations
- Scales used: Modified Ashworth Scale for spasticity grading
- Screening for associated issues like joint contractures or pain
🧬 Phase 3: Causes & Risk Factors
- Stroke damages brain areas controlling voluntary movement, leading to overactive reflexes and spasticity
- Risk factors: severe initial weakness, delayed rehab, joint immobility
🔍 Phase 4: Diagnosis & Investigations
- Clinical assessment is primary; no specific test needed
- Imaging (if required) to evaluate post-stroke brain changes
- Functional assessments to guide personalized rehab goals
💊 Phase 5: Treatment Plan
- Medications:Oral muscle relaxants (Baclofen, Tizanidine) for generalized spasticity
- Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Injections:Targeted relief for focal spasticity (e.g., clenched fist, foot drop)
- Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy:
- Stretching, strengthening, and range of motion exercises
- Splints and braces to prevent contractures
- Patient & caregiver education on home exercises and positioning
💪Phase 6: Recovery & Long-term Management

Helping you understand Our healthcare
Botulinum toxin (Botox) relaxes overactive muscles by blocking nerve signals, improving mobility and reducing pain.
Physiotherapy is essential but often combined with medications or Botox for optimal results.
They can be effective but may cause drowsiness or weakness. Long-term use requires close monitoring by your doctor.
Early intervention, ideally within weeks after stroke, improves outcomes and prevents permanent stiffness.
Not always. The goal is to reduce stiffness, improve limb function, and enhance quality of life through combined therapies.
