Selective Neurectomy for the Spastic Upper Extremity - 03/10/18
Riassunto |
Surgery is one element of the rehabilitative care of the spastic upper limb.

It is effective only for the spastic component of the deformity, which underscores the importance of a preliminary thorough clinical examination.
