The authors report a simple chart that offers a comprehensive picture of spasticity of the upper limb and provides a more objective method of recording data. Distinction is made between fixed postures and the residual active range of motion at the shoulder and elbow. The presence and function of the muscles can be identified easily on dynamic EMG studies, which are essential for understanding the degree of spasticity and dyssynergy related to a single muscle. When spasticity of the upper arm is managed with a global approach and objectives are defined clearly in advance with the patient and caregivers, treatment of shoulder and elbow deformities can achieve important results for personal hygiene or functional targets.
