| Welcome to Post-Stroke Help. Life after a stroke is often very difficult for stroke survivors and their loved ones, especially when the survivor suffers from post-stroke spasticity, a common consequence of stroke. Post-stroke spasticity is an uncontrollable muscle tightness that can cause painful muscle cramps such as arm and leg cramps. Fortunately, there are therapies that now allow stroke victims to control their spasticity and regain normal muscle control after stroke as well as recovery for muscle cramps and tightness . Post Stroke Help offers information about these treatments, patient perspectives on recovery, and advice on how patients can better communicate with their doctors. Leading medical experts created Post Stroke Help to help stroke patients and caregivers work with their doctors to regain control of their muscle—and their lives. |
