Traffic Light Tool
This tool is a Post-Stroke Spasticity (PSS) Risk Classification System for use by occupational therapists and physiotherapists and is recommended by experts in the field of stroke rehabilitation. It should be used when evaluating patients within the first 12 weeks after a stroke. However, it may still be used at other timepoints. It is recommended that this screening tool be used during regular follow-up visits to identify and manage symptoms of PSS.1
