The spastic-app
What distinguishes the spastic-app?
The reality of care of patients with spastic movement disorders after a stroke is very important. A guideline-based treatment of patients with spasticity should follow an interdisciplinary treatment approach. In addition to prompt patient orientation for treatment at the correct level of care by physiotherapists, general practitioners and neurologists, the patient should be guided to self-control of their symptoms. With the use of the spasticity app, patients are thus supported in regular self-monitoring (self-monitoring) to look out for signs of developing spasticity after a stroke and to arrange for an early clarification by a doctor.
How does the spastic-app work?
This app is based on the principle of a questionnaire using the traffic light principle. Here, a few simple questions are answered by the user at regular intervals (preferably weekly). The spastic-app determines from this whether there has been a change in the state of health and whether spasticity could develop.
Depending on the test result, the patient is advised to contact their family doctor, neurologist or physiotherapist.
This app supports patients after a stroke and helps them to watch out for early signs of spasticity that may be developing.
