- Purpose The aim of this study was to explore the patient perspective of their experiences of daily life after spasticity-correcting surgery for disabling upper limb (UL) spasticity after spinal cord injury (SCI) and stroke. Materials and methods Eight patients with UL spasticity resulting from SCI (n= 6) or stroke (n= 2) were interviewed 6-9 months after spasticity-correcting surgery. A phenomenographic approach was used to analyze the interviews. Results Five themes emerged from the interviews: (1) bodily changes, such as increased muscle strength, range of motion, and reduced muscle-hypertonicity; (2) improved occupational performance, facilitating tasks, mobility, and self-care; (3) regained control, explicating the perception of regaining bodily control and a more adaptable body; (4) enhanced interpersonal interactions, entailing the sense of being more comfortable undertaking social activities and personal interactions; and (5) enhanced psychological well-being, including having more energy, increased self-esteem, and greater happiness after surgery. Conclusions The participants experienced improvements in their everyday lives, including body functions, activities, social life, and psychological well-being. The benefits derived from surgery made activities easier, increased occupational performance, allowed patients regain their roles and interpersonal interactions, and enhanced their psychological well-being.
