Spasticity is a motor disorder associated with multiple illnesses and disabilities. It is a disorder of the central nervous system which causes involuntary and persistent contractions of affected muscles. According to the Guide to comprehensive treatment of spasticity there are between 300,000 and 400,000 people who affected in Spain. The World Health Organisation (WHO) considers spasticity a serious public health issue due to both the number of those affected as well as its consequences and repercussions.
