Spasticity is a poorly understood phenomenon.
The aim of this paper is to understand the effect of spasticity on daily life and identify bedside strategies that enhance patient’s function and improve comfort.
Spasticity and clonus result from an upper motor neuron lesion that disinhibits the tendon stretch reflex; however, they are differentiated in the fact that spasticity results in a velocity dependent tightness of muscle whereas clonus results in uncontrollable jerks of the muscle.
Clinical strategies that address function and comfort are paramount.
This is a secondary content analysis using a qualitative research design.
Adults experiencing spasticity associated with neuromuscular disorder were asked to participate during inpatient acute rehabilitation.
They were asked to complete a semistructured interview to explain and describe the nature of their experienced spasticity on daily basis.
Spasticity affects activities of daily living, function, and mobility.
Undertreated spasticity can lead to pain, immobility, and risk of falls.
There were missed opportunities to adequately care for patients with spasticity.
Bedside care strategies identified by patients with spasticity are outlined.
Uses of alternative therapies in conjunction with medications are needed to better manage spasticity.
Patient reports on spasticity are important and should be part of clinical evaluation and practice.
