Achieving balance in upper limb spasticity management

Restoring balance in the spastic upper limb, especially when voluntary control is lost, remains one of the most complex challenges in hand surgery. A thorough understanding of biomechanical principles and neurological pathways is necessary for the hand surgeon. Furthermore, working within a multidisciplinary team is essential to utilize a comprehensive array of assessment tools, ensuring accurate diagnosis and individualized patient care.
