The Brunnstrom Approach discusses how motor skills can be recovered throughout the patient’s body in seven simple steps. 1. Flaccidity: no movement. 2. Spasticity begins to develop. 3. Peak of spasticity: semi voluntary stage. 4. Movement combination: spasticity declines. 5. Complex movement combinations: coordinated, typical movement begins to return. 6. Spasticity disappears: movements are voluntary. 7. Normal functions return.
