Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 31,940 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.

How much does your spasticity weigh?
This is an extremely serious question, go ask you doctor for the calculations. Then ask what to do to cure spasticity. I think mine weighs between 15 and 20 pounds for my arm considering what it takes to even out my shoulders. You may have to repeat that demand for a cure thousands of times but everytime you see him/her ask away. They tell you that repetition works in stroke rehab but never give you an exact number. Is your doctors' number 10 or 10 million? If YOU don't start telling your doctor that they know nothing about stroke rehab they will never even try to figure out what works. And 50 years from now survivors will be no better off than today.
LOL I know the feeling. If a spastic arm weighs 15 to 20 pounds, then I'm not as overweight as I think I am, but doesn't the arm weigh the same. Muscles being contracted should have nothing to do with it. Now the energy expended is a different story.
