Episode 358: #83-3 Upper Extremity Spasticity: Measuring Success & Looking to the Future


Listen Later

In the third episode of our upper extremity spasticity series, host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and Shawn Mendenhall, MD focus on what success truly looks like - both in the short term and long term. Our guests discuss how to measure meaningful outcomes for children, from functional gains to improved comfort and participation in daily activities. We also look ahead to the future of spasticity care, exploring emerging approaches, evolving surgical techniques, and innovations that may improve assessment and treatment. Together, the conversation highlights the importance of individualized goals, interdisciplinary follow-through, and continuous reevaluation to ensure each child progresses toward their highest potential.
