Baar-Ebenhausen, September 26, 2023 – The innovative spasticity app, developed by Prof. Dr. med. Siegfried Jedamzik with support from Dr. med. Dipl.-Psych. Friedemann Müller, Chief Physician of Early Neurological Rehabilitation & Rehabilitation at Schön Klinik Bad Aibling Harthausen, now offers an innovative solution for patients and their families dealing with the aftermath of a stroke.
A remarkable example of the benefits of the spasticity app is the story of Mrs. M. Huber, whose grandfather recently suffered a stroke. “It was a scary and uncertain time for our family,” she says. “But with the discovery of the spasticity app, we felt better equipped to handle the challenges that come with a stroke.”
The spasticity app was specifically designed to assist stroke patients in the early detection of spasticity development. Spasticity is an abnormal increase in muscle tone caused by damage to the central nervous system and often develops within the first 30 days after a stroke.
Thanks to its intuitive user interface and built-in questionnaire with 10 questions based on a traffic light system, users can quickly and easily determine if they show signs of spasticity. “The app gave us clear recommendations on whether or not we should seek further medical advice,” adds Mrs. Huber.
Another advantage of the app is the comprehensive information on treating spasticity with botulinum toxin. This drug, derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, has proven to be an effective treatment method for spasticity. The effects usually begin a few days after injection and last for about three to four months.
“We are truly grateful for this app,” says Mrs. M. Huber. “It not only helped us navigate this difficult time better but also provided the best possible support for my grandfather.”
