Spasticity isn't just increased muscle tone-it's one of the most complex neurological disorders clinicians encounter. Yet for many healthcare professionals, translating neurophysiology into confident clinical decision-making remains a daily challenge.

Whether you're a neurology resident, PM&R trainee, physiatrist, neurologist, rehabilitation physician, advanced practice clinician, or an experienced specialist seeking an evidence-based reference, this comprehensive textbook bridges the gap between scientific understanding and real-world patient care.

Spasticity and Muscle Stiffness: Diagnosis and Management delivers a complete clinical roadmap-from the neurophysiology of muscle tone to advanced interventions including Botulinum Toxin therapy, Intrathecal Baclofen, rehabilitation strategies, and surgical management.

Rather than presenting isolated facts, this book follows the natural progression of clinical reasoning, helping you understand why spasticity develops, how to assess it accurately, and how to choose the most appropriate treatment for each patient.

Inside you'll discover:

  • Comprehensive neurophysiology explained in a clinically meaningful way
  • Practical approaches to differentiating spasticity from rigidity, dystonia, contracture, and other hypertonic disorders
  • Evidence-based assessment tools, neurological examination techniques, and validated rating scales
  • Detailed management strategies for stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, and other neurological conditions
  • Step-by-step guidance on oral pharmacotherapy, Botulinum Toxin injections, Intrathecal Baclofen therapy, rehabilitation, and surgical interventions
  • Clinical algorithms that simplify complex decision-making
  • Pediatric and adult spasticity management in one comprehensive reference
  • Functional goal-setting, multidisciplinary care, and long-term patient management
