A literature review of the pathophysiology and onset of post‐stroke spasticity
European Journal of Neurology, 2011Background: Spasticity occurs after stroke and gives rise to substantial burden for patients and caregivers. Although it has been studied for many years, its definition continues to undergo reconsideration and revision. This partly reflects the diversity of its manifestations and that its pathophysiology, although well studied, is still debated ...

Effectiveness of Dry Needling in the Management of Spasticity in Patients Post Stroke
Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2020To determine the effectiveness of the dry needling technique (DNT) in the treatment of spasticity for individuals with stroke.We reviewed the Embase, Pubmed/MEDLINE, Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases.

Cardiac autonomic status is associated with spasticity in post-stroke patients
NeuroRehabilitation: An International, Interdisciplinary Journal, 2014Background: Whether post-stroke spasticity is associated with autonomic status is unclear. The purpose of our study was to determine whether spasticity in post-stroke patients is associated with heart rate variability (HRV), an indicator of sympathetic and parasympathetic regulation.

Botulinum Toxin for Post-stroke Limb Spasticity
2016Stroke mortality has declined to the fourth leading cause of death with improved risk factors control and better coordinated acute stroke care in the United States (Lackland et al., Stroke 45:315–53, 2014). On the other hand, stroke remains a leading cause of disability.

High doses of onabotulinumtoxinA in post-stroke spasticity: a retrospective analysis
Journal of Neural Transmission, 2015We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of high doses of onabotulinumtoxinA (from 600 to 800 units) in 26 patients affected by upper and/or lower limb post-stroke spasticity. They were assessed before, 30 and 90 days after treatment. We observed a significant muscle tone reduction and a significant functional improvement (assessed with the

Role of corticospinal influences in post-stroke spasticity
2013In post-stroke patients, spasticity, weakness and abnormal coactivation result from limitations in the range of regulation of stretch reflex thresholds. We investigated whether the deficits in residual corticospinal influences contribute to the limitation in the regulation of those thresholds and as a result to spasticity in post-stroke subjects.

Post-stroke spasticity as a condition: a new perspective on patient evaluation.
Functional neurology, 2016Stroke is a major cause of long-term disability. Post-stroke spasticity (PSS) has been described as a velocity-dependent increase in muscle tone with exaggerated tendon jerks, resulting from hyperexcitability of the stretch reflex and presenting as intermittent/sustained involuntary muscle activation.
