Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this lecture on goal setting for spasticity management, Dr. Mary Russell emphasizes the importance of setting SMART goals - specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. Goals should be in line with both the patient's and provider's objectives for treatment. Examples of patient goals include reducing pain, improving range of motion, and facilitating performance of daily activities. It is important to consider factors such as the patient's living situation, availability of post-treatment care, and any other potential causes of spasticity. The lecture also highlights the significance of revisiting and aligning goals to ensure successful outcomes.
