Associations between muscle morphology and spasticity in children with spastic cerebral palsy
European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, 2023 Due to the heterogeneous clinical presentation of spastic cerebral palsy (SCP), which makes spasticity treatment challenging, more insight into the complex interaction between spasticity and altered muscle morphology is warranted.We studied associations between spasticity and muscle morphology and compared muscle morphology between commonly observed ...

Assessing muscle architecture with ultrasound: implications for spasticity
European Journal of Translational MyologyBotulinum Neurotoxin Type A (BoNT-A) injections using Ultrasound (US) guidance have led to research evaluating changes in muscle architecture. Controversy remains as to what constitutes increased Echo-Intensity (EI) in spastic muscles and whether this ...

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.

Impaired H-Reflex Adaptations Following Slope Walking in Individuals With Post-stroke Hemiparesis [PDF]
, 2019 Background and Purpose: Short term adaptations in the Ia afferent-motoneuron pathway, as measured using the H-reflex, in response to altered ground reaction forces (GRFs) applied at the feet during slope walking have been observed in the non-impaired ...
