The clinic provides a comprehensive assessment and makes recommendations regarding the management of spasticity. Where clinically indicated, medical management may include injections into the upper and or lower limbs to assist with achieving client goals.

Eligible clients: Adults with a neurological condition such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy and neuropathies are suitable for management in the Spasticity Clinic.
