Information about the spastic-app
What are the advantages for the patient to use the spastic-app?
The measures in the management of a spastic movement disorder depend on the distribution pattern of the spastic movement disorder (SMD) over the body and the severity of the spastic tone increase and other positive signs of the upper moto neuron syndrome (UMNS).
The spastic-app is based on the principle of a questionnaire using the traffic light principle. The patient answers 10 questions at regular intervals (ideally 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.
Improving care management after a stroke.
