| National Stroke Association is excited to be part of “Open Arms: Raising Awareness of Upper Limb Spasticity,” a new educational campaign about upper limb spasticity. Spasticity is a debilitating condition that impacts approximately 1 million Americans, many of whom experience the condition in their upper limbs following a stroke.
The campaign includes a coalition of national patient advocacy organizations and legendary actor Henry Winkler, who cared for his mother as she struggled with upper limb spasticity following a stroke. The campaign aims to address the low awareness and under-diagnosis of upper limb spasticity. National Stroke Association proudly joins the campaign in the hopes of spreading awareness about spasticity and to provide education and support to stroke survivors and their families. Visit www.stroke.org/SPAST for more information about spasticity andwww.openarmscampaign.com for educational resources, including Henry Winkler’s story, patient videos and a doctor finder. |
