Spasticity and muscle contracture following stroke [PDF]
Brain, 1996 It has become increasingly recognized that the major functional deficits following brain damage are largely due to "negative' features such as weakness and loss of dexterity rather than spasticity. A variety of studies suggest that spasticity is a distinct problem and separate from the loss of dexterity, but that it may be implicated in the formation ...

Exploration of Neuroprotective Therapy, 2022 Stroke causes acute neurological deficit which is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Neurorehabilitation is an important dimension in the management of post-stroke deficits. Spasticity, pain, and neurological deficits are contributors to post-

Prolonged static muscle stretch reduces spasticity - But for how long should it be held?
South African Journal of Physiotherapy, 1995 The rehabilitation of patients with upper motor neurone lesions often necessitates the reduction of spasticity before normal movement patterns can be taught. One proven technique is that of prolonged stretch to the affected muscle.
