About Spasticity Information
Spasticity Information is an independent public information resource created to explain spasticity in clear, careful and evidence-based language. It is designed for people living with spasticity, families, caregivers and anyone trying to understand assessment, treatment and rehabilitation.
Why this site exists
Reliable information about spasticity is often scattered across clinical guidance, research papers and organization websites. This site brings key concepts together in one structured, bilingual resource without presenting general information as personal medical advice.
How content is developed
- English articles provide the source structure for topic coverage; Hebrew versions are written naturally rather than translated word for word.
- Claims are checked against the sources listed on each page.
- Priority is given to current clinical guidance, consensus statements, systematic reviews and established health organizations.
- Older landmark sources may be retained when historically important, but they are not presented as current guidance when superseded or retired.
- Articles include related reading, a medical disclaimer and an update note where appropriate.
Editorial review and medical review
Content is editorially checked for source accuracy and internal consistency. The site does not claim that an article has been medically reviewed unless a real, identified healthcare professional has completed that review. No fictional authors, clinicians, reviewers or credentials are used.
Editorial independence
The site aims to describe benefits, limitations, risks and uncertainty in balanced language. It does not promise outcomes, recommend a specific product or imply that every person with spasticity needs treatment. Any future sponsorship or material conflict of interest should be disclosed clearly.
What the site cannot do
The website cannot diagnose a condition, interpret an individual examination, select a treatment or replace a clinician who knows the person’s medical history. Urgent or new neurological symptoms require appropriate medical assessment.
Bilingual publishing
English and Hebrew are maintained as parallel versions of the same information resource. Each page should link to its language counterpart, use its own canonical URL and provide language-appropriate navigation, metadata, terminology and reading direction.
Updates and corrections
Medical evidence and guidance change. Pages are reviewed and updated when important evidence, safety information or guidance becomes available. If you identify a factual or accessibility problem, consult the Editorial Policy for the correction approach. The site currently does not provide a public contact form.
