Physiotherapy Services For Spasticity
What is spasticity?
Spasticity is a condition in which certain muscles are continuously contracted. This contraction causes stiffness or tightness of the muscles and also may interfere with gait, speech, and motion. Spasticity is usually brought on by damage to the part of the brain. The damage causes an alteration in the equilibrium of signs involving the muscles and the system. This imbalance contributes to greater activity in the muscles. Joints and muscles of the extremities negatively affect and can be harmful to kids that are developing. It is possible to treat Spasticity if you get proper medications along with physiotherapy treatment for spasticity.
Types
Spasticity is a really common symptom of MS. There are two kinds of MS-related spasms: flexor and extensor. Flexor spasticity is an involuntary bending of their hips or knees (mostly between the hamstring muscles on the back of the upper leg). The hips and knees bend upward toward the torso. Extensor is a straightening of the legs. Extensor spasticity entails the quadriceps (muscles on the front of the upper leg) and the adductors (inner thigh muscles). Knees and the hips stay with all the legs together or crossed over in the ankles. Spasticity can also occur in the arms, however, it is not as common in people with MS. Spasticity may worsen because of muscle stiffness or position changes, moves, temperature extremes, humidity or illnesses. Clothes may even trigger it.
Causes
Spasticity is brought on by an imbalance of signs from the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) into the muscles. This imbalance can be found in people with spinal cord trauma, traumatic brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy.
Symptoms
Amelio reported a significant decrease in muscle tone (>12 months) of plantar flexors in children with cerebral palsy.
Significant reduction of ankle plantar flexor spasticity in patients with stroke following fifteen 10-minute sessions of continuous ultrasound treatment on a 5-week interval (frequency 1MHz and intensity 1,5 W/cm2).
Exercises to do if you have Spasticity
This is a nice exercise to do because not only does it stretch the hip flexor, it also has a focus on relaxation, something the National Multiple Sclerosis Society of America emphasizes in its approach to managing spasticity, too. You can also do it while lying on your bed!
Based on the type if need, it requires quite a few weeks or even months for you to recover. You are helped by our physiotherapist with exercises which stimulates tissues and the cells that have been injured for aiding recovery.
Physiotherapy for spasticity helps you with stretching exercises and offer recovery programs by the kind of injury, to facilitate recovery. The Physiotherapists will also guide you in educating you to take care of yourself.
Therefore, if you are looking for physiotherapy for spasticity or a good nurse, simply reach out to Care24’s world-class physiotherapy treatment in your home’s comfort.
