Goal Attainment Scaling in Upper Limb Spasticity Treatment

Goal setting will be performed by the patient together with the physician according to the SMART principle (specific, measureable, achievable, realistic, time bound). The goals will be classified according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. Goal attainment will be assessed using the Goal Attainment Scale - Light. Comprehensive assessment of motor functioning will address range of motion, spasticity, pain, degree of motor disability and degree of dependence in daily activities. The prescribed exercises for the test group will be passive or active, depending on spasticity of the impaired upper limb. Both groups will keep an Exercise Diary during the second part of the study.
