One of the most distressing symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) can be the phenomenon of spasticity. Advances have been made in its treatment and control in recent years but many clinicians who treat MS may not be familiar with the intricacies of technologies, such as intrathecal baclofen and botulinum toxin. Additionally, a team approach to care can greatly enhance the care of patients with spasticity. Many disciplines play a role in its management, attendant ambulatory disability, and motor dysfunction.
