How can i control or mitigate a spastic hemiparesis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Medication/botox: You want to maintain some degree of spasticity in your leg to assist walking. The use of oral medication may help, but will affect arm and leg-plus there may be sedation. Botox can be very helpful, different doses for arm/leg, customizing the effect. It can address specific trouble areas oral medications can't address. Would find a neurologist/ rehab doctor who does this under EMG for best result.
