Occasional essay: upper motor neuron syndrome in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
, 2020 The diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) requires recognition of both lower (LMN) and upper motor neuron (UMN) dysfunction.1 However, classical UMN signs are frequently difficult to identify in ALS.2 LMN involvement is sensitively detected ...

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.

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.
