Summary
The purpose of this study is to improve spasticity diagnosis through exploration of potential new diagnostic markers for spasticity that can assist in diagnosis and referral.
Detailed description
The aim of this study is to improve spasticity (a form of muscle rigidity) diagnosis through exploration of potential new diagnostic markers for spasticity that can assist in diagnosis and referral. This will be done by assessing the relatedness of comorbid conditions in patients with spasticity. Emphasis will be placed on urinary incontinence, as previous work has suggested a link between the two conditions. An additional aim of this study is to assess health-related quality of life measures in this population. A medical record review will be performed for all consenting participants residing in Tennessee State Veterans' Homes, which is a long-term care facility in Murfreesboro, TN. Participants will also be asked to complete a brief questionnaire assessing their perceived health-related quality of life, physical wellbeing, and mental wellbeing.
