"This is good as a reference guide for clinicians who like a quick review of spasticity management. A nice feature is the inclusion in most chapters of sections presenting evidence-based data. The second edition is necessary to present up-to-date information such as baclofen pumps and the newer medications to treat spasticity." - Stevenson, Valerie L., MD, MRCP; Jarrett, Louise, BA(Hons), RGN, Doody’s Book Review Service
