    Re: Spastic Upperlimb in Hemiplegia

    Thanks once again,
    what is the place of electrical stimulation, as there is increased tone in both the upperlimb and lower limb but no active movement.
    waiting for a reply

    Whilst this may have a use, at this stage this should not be on your immediate plan. You need to reduce the tone before you begin to try and increase the voluntary movement. Often a reduction in tone can give light to some underlying control. Be patient and let us know what you do and how the patient progresses.
