Abstract:
Central limb spasticity is a common complication after central nervous system injury, in which hand flexion spasticity often leads to the loss of the patient's ability to move. Reducing muscle tone and relieving spasticity are the prerequisites for restoring limb function. T 1 rhizotomy, which has been proposed in recent years, has proven to be effective in the treatment of central hand flexion spasticity. This consensus summarizes the etiology, symptoms, functional assessment of central hand flexion spasticity, and surgical indications for T 1 rhizotomy, surgical principles and procedures, and rehabilitation program. The standardized protocol of T 1 rhizotomy for the treatment of central hand flexion spasticity is proposed for the reference of clinicians in the process of diagnosis and treatment, with the aim of further improving the treatment level for central hand flexion spasticity.
