Surgical Treatment for Spasticity: Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy – Technique and Literature Review
Spasticity is a motor disorder that leads to a resistance to passive joint movement. Cerebral palsy is the most important cause of spasticity and can be caused by several factors, including multiple gestations, alcoholism, infections, hemorrhages, drowning, and traumatic brain injuries, among others...
