The use of the Spastik-App is intended to support patients after a stroke in regular self-observation (self-monitoring) to look out for signs of spasticity that may be developing and to arrange for clarification by a doctor at an early stage.

The app is based on the principle of a questionnaire according to the traffic light principle. This is to be completed at regular intervals (weekly). Depending on the test result of the questionnaire, the patient is advised to contact their family doctor, physiotherapist or neurologist.
