Abstract
Abstract Spasticity of spinal origin is a complex manifestation of chronic supra-sacral spinal cord lesions (‘chronic spinal lesions’). When sufficiently severe, it can interfere further with the individual’s quality of life by adversely affecting such functional behaviour as sitting posture, mobility, transfers, and comfort, and by generating limb and trunk deformities (e.g. contractures (Herman 1970)). Conversely, spasticity may support or enhance function. Thus inappropriate assessment and/or treatment may lead to further diminution of performance.
