Diagnosis and Treatment of` Spasticity and Stiff Muscles [PDF]
EBioMedicine, 2016 Central nervous system (CNS) diseases such as cerebral palsy (CP), stroke (CVA), spinal cord injury (SCI) or multiple sclerosis (MS) often engender impaired motor control that might affect the performance of activities, to a level that requires intervention to improve the quality of life for the patient.

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.

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.
