Abstract
Spasticity is one of the most frequently occurring symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) and requires a multidisciplinary team to manage it. During the COVID-19 pandemic, all non-essential elective procedures were stopped, and patients with MS discontinued physiotherapy with significant repercussions on spasticity and joint mobility. We present the case of a 56-year-old man who underwent a 30-day protocol of tele-rehabilitation in association with pharmacological therapy to manage spasticity. The use of common tools for tele-rehabilitation could improve the quality of care for people with MS during the COVID-19 pandemic.
