Rehabilitation eval: Long standing "tightness" in the hand after a stroke is very common. If left untreated it can worsen with time. Evaluation by a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician can be helpful to determine the best treatment for his tightness (spasticity). Medications, physical therapy, splinting, or botulinum toxin injections are all options to consider.
