Objectives: To assess the effects of intrathecal baclofen (ITB) therapy for the treatment of poststroke spastic hemiparesis on quality of life, functional independence, and upper, lower extremity (UE, LE) motor functions.Materials and Methods: Prospective observational study of adult men and women with a minimum 6-month stroke-related spastic hemiparesis graded as >= 2 in UE and LE on Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). Patients served as their own controls with measures compared pre-implant with 12 months post ITB including: MAS, manual muscle test (MMT), gait distance/velocity, Functional Independence Measures (FIM), stroke-specific quality of life scale (SSQL), and upper extremity manual activity log.Results: After 12-month ITB therapy, 26 patients (poststroke = 6.4 perpendicular to 9 years) demonstrated 1) reduced MAS/increased MMT for most LE muscle groups (p
