Target Population
Care Setting
Key Highlights
Study evaluated 58 patients in the subacute phase after stroke.
Upper limb motor function assessed using Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Box and Blocks Test.
Weak correlations found between muscle tone changes and motor function or quality of life.
Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
Use Fugl-Meyer Assessment for upper limb motor function evaluation.
Assess muscle tone using myotonometry.
Management
Monitoring & Follow-up
Monitor changes in muscle tone and motor function throughout rehabilitation.
Risks
Spasticity can lead to reduced motor abilities and decreased quality of life.
