The epidemiology, symptomatology, pathogenesis, diagnosis of post-stroke spasticity, and its basic treatment principles based on the current methods of evidence-based medicine are described. Possibilities for post-stroke spasticity therapy with botulinum, in particular botulinum toxin type A (Xeomin) used in these patients, are discussed.
