Abstract:
Post-stroke spasticity and contracture remain prevalent and pose significant challenges in stroke rehabilitation. While non-surgical management is the mainstay, surgical reconstruction offers a valuable adjunct when conservative measures are exhausted. This clinical review article provides an overview of surgical reconstruction for limb spasticity and contracture following adult stroke, encompassing the rationale and specifics of these interventions. It highlights the underutilization of surgical reconstruction in rehabilitation of adult stroke patients with spasticity and contracture, and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration including surgeons in stroke rehabilitation to optimize functional outcomes.
