Introduction: One of the main consequences of stroke is the development of spasticity. This condition can cause musculoskeletal changes that result in reduced functionality and quality of life. Justification: The early identification of the main predictors becomes an important ally in preventing the aggravation caused by spasticity, preventing the decrease in functionality and quality of life. Objectives: The aim of the present study is to investigate the most relevant predictors for the development of spasticity in post-stroke patients. Methodology: A literature review was carried out through searches in the PUBMED database, adopting the terms "Development Of Spasticity In Stroke" or "Predictors Of Spasticity In Stroke" or "Post Stroke Spasticity. Results: From the analysis of the full text of 5 articles, the main predictive factors for the development of spasticity pointed out by each author were identified, and these factors were later grouped. Discussion: Several predictors were pointed out in the selected studies as possible factors that could influence the development of spasticity in post-stroke patients. However, only a part of them was indicated as being relevant. Conclusion: According to the frequency of appearance of the terms, paresis, motor impairment, increased muscle tone, disability, volume markers, size and location of the lesion.
