Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time to detect spasticity from incidence of stroke

    From baseline to 24 months after stroke

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Time to referral for spasticity from incidence of stroke

    From baseline to 24 months after stroke

  • The time from incidence of stroke to Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) administration

    From baseline to 24 months after stroke

Study Arms (2)

Screener

EXPERIMENTAL
Other: Screener

Standard of care

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Other: Standard of care

Interventions

Participants will be screened for spasticity using the 2 question version of the Post-stroke Spasticity Monitoring Questionnaire (PSMQ) at 2 days after discharge, 2 weeks post stroke, 1 month post stroke, 3 months post stroke and every 3 months after for a total of 12 screenings across 24 months

Screener

Observational data for the standard of care group will be obtained via phone every 3 months post stroke up to 24 months, utilizing the Standard of Care Group Questionnaire.
