Spinal Deformity Treatment
in Patients with Spasticity
Spinal deformity in patients with spasticity-related conditions, including cerebral palsy, hereditary spastic paraplegia, and other neuromuscular disorders, presents unique challenges that require a specialized, multidisciplinary approach. At the Paley Institute, the spinal deformity team focuses on improving sitting and standing balance, reducing pain, and enhancing ease of care and hygiene, leading to high patient and caregiver satisfaction.
Comprehensive Treatment Options
Management strategies are tailored to each patient’s needs, ensuring optimal spinal alignment, comfort, and function.
Non-Surgical Approaches
Bracing – Custom orthoses to slow curve progression and enhance postural stability.
Wheelchair Modifications – Adjustments to seating systems to improve support and positioning.
Multimodal Spasticity Management – Botox injections, ITB pumps, and physical therapy to reduce muscle tightness and enhance mobility.
Improving Function and Quality of Life
The goal of spinal deformity treatment in patients with spasticity is not just curve correction, but enhanced quality of life. Addressing spinal alignment can lead to better sitting and standing balance, allowing for improved mobility and independence, pain reduction, increasing comfort for daily activities, and easier hygiene and caregiving, benefiting both patients and families.
