Funded Activity Summary

A population-based study of prevalence of muscle contracture will provide helpful information to health providers about the magnitude of the problem of contracture. This information will focus research efforts, and help health care providers to allocate resources appropriately. Recent studies have found that current treatments for contracture often provide transient or no effects. This project will test a promising new direction in treatment of contracture in people with multiple sclerosis.
