What is Spastic Hand?

Spastic hand, or spasticity of the hand muscles, is a condition characterized by stiffness, tightness, and involuntary muscle spasms in the hand. It is often caused by damage to the brain or spinal cord, leading to increased muscle tone and difficulty controlling movements.

Causes

Spastic hand is commonly associated with conditions such as cerebral palsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury. These conditions can disrupt the normal signaling between the brain and muscles, resulting in spasticity.

Symptoms of Spastic Hand

Symptoms of spastic hand include tightness or stiffness in the hand muscles, involuntary muscle contractions or spasms, and difficulty controlling hand movements. These symptoms can vary in severity and may affect one or both hands.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Based on our assessment, we develop personalized treatment plans aimed at reducing muscle stiffness, improving hand function, and enhancing overall quality of life. Our treatments may include
