Abstract
Abstract
Spasticity is a common problem encountered by those who have suffered a neurological injury either cerebral or spinal in origin. Multiple interventions are utilized to manage spasticity to decrease the pain and stiffness. These interventions can include an implanted device that delivers medication directly to the spinal cord. This clinical consultation reviews a patient case and the important information regarding the care of this individual with an intrathecal baclofen pump and important key points of education that all rehabilitation nurses need to know.
