Toxnet GO-FAST tool

The GO-FAST (Goal-Oriented Facilitated Approach to Spasticity Treatment) Tool has been designed to provide structured, coordinated support for health care professionals, working in rehabilitation medicine practice to implement a patient-centered, goal-based approach to spasticity management.

It provides guidance with the selection of commonly-used spasticity treatment goals, associated patterns and muscles, and monitoring outcome measures to assess treatment success.

It has been designed to be used in everyday clinical practice with spasticity patients.

Before using the tool, please refer to the accompanying article, (Jacinto J et al., 2023 (Selecting Goals and Target Muscles for Botulinum Toxin A Injection Using the Goal Oriented Facilitated Approach to Spasticity Treatment (GO-FAST) Tool. Toxins 2023, 15, 676. https://doi.org/10.3390/toxins15120676) that provides information about the principles of patient-centred goal-setting, an algorithm for setting SMART treatment goals, goal-related target muscles, goal attainment follow-up, scoring and interpretation, and the multimodal approach to spasticity management.
