Effects of Additional Radial Shock Wave Therapy on Spasticity of Upper Extremity Muscle
Surabaya Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Journal, 2023 Background: Spasticity is one of the most common problems and greatly interferes with the functional capacity of chronic stroke patients. The most commonly used treatments are infrared therapy and stretching exercises, but they have not reduced ...

Spasticity or reversible muscle hypertonia?
Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2011 The increase in resistance to passive muscle stretch in a paretic limb due to an upper motor neurone lesion is often referred to as muscle spasticity. However, this terminology is inaccurate and does not take into account the complex pathogenesis of the condition or describe the factors that contribute to the clinically observed changes in muscle tone.

Efficiency of work production by spastic muscles
Gait & Posture, 2005 The present study compared the muscular efficiency in spastic and healthy lower limbs producing the same mechanical work. Sixteen chronic post-stroke hemiparetic and spastic patients and 14 age-matched healthy subjects were submitted to a submaximal stepwise exercise testing on a bicycle ergometer, pedalling with only one lower limb.
