PRF produced significant and reversible suppression in spasticity, but this was accompanied by deterioration in locomotive function. Thus, caution should be exercised in considering the benefits and costs in suppressing spasticity in ambulatory patients, and implanted devices that apply titratable doses of PRF may be best to optimize patients' needs.
