Multiprofessionelles Team
*LMN / UMN Lower/ Upper Moto-Neuron Lesion. These are LMN and UMN "syndromes/symptoms" that can occur in the course of a neurological event such as spasticity.
The spastic-app is based on the principle of a questionnaire using the traffic light principle. The user answers ten questions at regular intervals (preferably weekly). The spasm 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 spastic-app supports patients after a stroke and helps them to watch out for early signs of spasticity that may be developing. There is still no digital and preventive spasticity screening for patients.
After successful registration and activation, the patient can use the spastic-app.
The patient should answer the questionnaire with 10 questions once a week.
These are the possible outcomes of the traffic light questionnaire:
