This SCI Forum presentation explored the positive effects of spasticity (“the good”), the negative effects (“the bad”), the neutral effects (“the not so ugly”), and a variety of interventions for spasticity. In this video, a rehabilitation medicine physician, a physical therapist, and an occupational therapist summarize the causes of spasticity and discusse a variety of conventional and non-conventional treatment options.
