“…We have not found any apps or games specific for patients with spasticity; we have found only one app for evaluation related to the Tardieu Scale. On the other hand, we have found apps that target the rehabilitation, control, follow-up, and monitoring of patients in other diagnoses, mostly, conditions with musculoskeletal involvement and associated with pain, as is the case of the tennis elbow ( 14 ) or golfer's elbow ( 15 ). For both pathologies, we have found these easy-to-use apps that incorporate health education, stretching programs, and diaries to record symptoms and/or progress.…”

There is a strong recommendation for the use of intramuscular botulinum toxin in patients with persistent or progressive spasticity affecting one or more joints and who have an identifiable therapeutic target. After a botulinum toxin injection, a stretching intervention improves the results of the treatment, and it should be performed by patients and/or caregivers after being trained by a therapist. Adherence to this recommendation remains low once the therapist stops following the patient. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the use of telemedicine with different approaches to treat patients. There has been an increased use of motivational applications, with virtual reality software and real-life videos, which provide a gaming experience that increases adherence. There are programs with synchronous telehealth exercises guided by physical therapists or software with sensor-based technology that shows the range of motion (ROM) and strength of the muscles of a particular joint. These new approaches to patient follow-up appear to increase adherence to exercise because they need to be “watched and controlled” is achieved.
