Multiprofessionelles Team
*LMN / UMN Lower/ Upper Moto-Neuron Lesion. These are LMN and UMN “syndromes/symptoms” that can occur in the course of a neurological event such as spasticity.
The spasticity app is based on the principle of a questionnaire based on the traffic light principle. The user answers ten questions at regular intervals (preferably weekly). The spasticity app uses these to determine whether there has been a change in the health status and whether spasticity could develop. Depending on the test result, the patient is advised to contact their family doctor, neurologist or physiotherapist.
This spasticity app supports patients after a stroke and helps them to look out for early signs of potentially developing spasticity. There is still no digital and preventive spasticity screening for patients.
After successful registration and activation, the patient can use the spasticity app.
The patient should answer the questionnaire with 10 questions once a week.
These are the possible results of the questionnaire according to the traffic light principle:
When green
Continue self-monitoringIf yellow 3 times, contact your GP or physiotherapistIf red 1 time, contact your GP or physiotherapist
From 2 times red
Contact your neurologistFrom 5 times red
Contact your neurologist urgently
Practical example:
