Poster 290 Spatiotemporal Changes in Gait Performance Due to OnabotulinumtoxinA Injection to Lower Limb Muscles in Patients with Upper Motor Neuron Syndrome

Meaningful Assessment in Patients with Acquired Brain Injuries

There are several key components to the meaningful and comprehensive assessment of patients with acquired brain injuries with respect to management of the upper motor neuron syndrome. Type of brain injury, trajectory of recovery, relevant concomitant complications, development of appropriate goals, and an understanding of resources available for patients are all factors to assess when developing a treatment plan. Using appropriate outcome measures will help monitor the efficacy of interventions and guide ongoing management of spasticity.
