Spasticity affects many individuals experiencing neurological conditions, in this episode we are going to talk about how it relates to both spinal cord injury and cerebral palsy. In this episode we are talking to Monica Gorassini, a researcher at the University of Alberta. A few of the things discussed in this episode are:
What is spasticity? What does it mean? Does spasticity have different mechanisms for SCI vs. CP?
