Abstract:

Treatment and rehabilitation of patients with upper limb spasticity remains a challenging task that still does not have standard, widely accepted methods. The specific instruments used to measure the impact of spasticity on everyday life occupy an important place in the measurement of treatment effectiveness. The article presents scales and tests used to access the impact of spasticity and paresis on the arm activity. LASIS has been translated into Russian by the authors. The clinical case of treatment of arm muscle spasticity with the botulinum neuro toxin and its assessment with MRCS, MAS, Tardie, LASIS, Frenchai, Bartel, Rankin scales are presented. It provides the unique algorithm for measurement of muscle spasticity in forearm and wrist.

Keywords:
