简要总结
The purpose of this study is to improve spasticity diagnosis through exploration of potential new diagnostic markers for spasticity that can assist in diagnosis and referral.
详细描述
The aim of this study is to improve spasticity (a form of muscle rigidity) diagnosis through exploration of potential new diagnostic markers for spasticity that can assist in diagnosis and referral. This will be done by assessing the relatedness of comorbid conditions in patients with spasticity. Emphasis will be placed on urinary incontinence, as previous work has suggested a link between the two conditions. An additional aim of this study is to assess health-related quality of life measures in this population. A medical record review will be performed for all consenting participants residing in Tennessee State Veterans' Homes, which is a long-term care facility in Murfreesboro, TN. Participants will also be asked to complete a brief questionnaire assessing their perceived health-related quality of life, physical wellbeing, and mental wellbeing.

结局指标
主要结局
Prevalence of comorbid spasticity and urinary incontinence in a long-term care facility
时间窗: Up to three months after consent is obtained
Prevalence of spasticity will be determined by recording the presence/absence of spasticity based on the neurological examination performed on all consenting residents of the long-term care facility. Prevalence of urinary incontinence will be determined by medical record review of all consenting residents of the long-term care facility. The research coordinator will report prevalence of comorbid spasticity and incontinence as a descriptive statistic.

- Quality of life in residents of a long-term care facility(Up to three months after consent is obtained)
- Perceived disability in residents of a long-term care facility(Up to three months after consent is obtained)
