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.

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.

Clinical Validation of Plasma p‐217tau in Neurological Diseases
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Plasma p‐217tau is a minimally invasive but specific biomarker for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its disease specificity remains to be clinically evaluated. We validated the reliability of the p‐217tau biomarker in 12 other neurological diseases.

Association Between Motor Pathway Damage and Motor Deficit in Upper and Lower Limb in People With MS
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Corticospinal tract damage is common in people with MS, but the degree of clinical symptoms varies. We hypothesize that corticospinal tract lesions are more extensive and severe in people with MS with motor impairments in both upper and lower limbs.
