Brief Answer:
Use Baclofene.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again. Using Baclofen is a good idea as treatment for spasticity but you can also use clonazepam, dantrolene , diazepam, or tizanidine . Occupational and physical therapy programs, involving muscle stretching and range of motion exercises, are necessary and may help prevent tendon shortening. Rehabilitation also may help to reduce or stabilize the severity of symptoms and to improve functional performance. Local injections botox can lower limb spasticity, have been shown to be more effective than oral medicines for many kinds of spasticity
