Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2009
Treatment of spasticity requires a team approach, including the patient and caregivers, therapists, physicians, and surgeons. The team needs to determine what component of the spasticity interferes with function. Traditional therapy continues to dominate the therapy provided to patients who are living with spasticity.

Spasticity is characterized by an enhanced size and reduced threshold for activation of stretch reflexes and is associated with "positive signs" such as clonus and spasms, as well as "negative features" such as paresis and a loss of automatic postural responses.

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1987
Spasticity has been defined as velocity-dependent hyperactivity of stretch reflexes; it is therefore only one aspect of the complex syndrome produced by a lesion of the upper motoneuron. Although spasticity may be partially responsible for joint contractures, it does not produce most of the functional disability experienced by patients with upper ...

Antispastic medications that are directed to reduce clinical signs of spasticity, such as exaggerated reflexes and muscle tone, do not improve the movement disorder. Medication can even increase weakness which might interfere with functional movements, such as walking.

Spasticity management in the child with spastic quadriplegia
European Journal of Neurology, 2001In children with spastic quadriplegia, also described as ‘whole body involvement’, spasticity can interfere with motor function, contributes to the development of deformities and adversely impacts on care, positioning, and comfort. In this population, spasticity interventions address goals such as improving comfort, reducing pain, easing the burden of ...

Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 2000
Spasticity is usually a useful substitute for deficiency of motor strength. However not infrequently, it may become harmful leading to an aggravation of motor disability. When excessive spasticity is not sufficiently controlled by physical therapy and pharmacological treatment, patients can have recourse to neurosurgery: neurostimulation, intrathecal ...

There you go again: Th steadfast fad of fixing spasticity. To the Editor: Presentation of the problem. The Role of tizanidine in the treatment of spasticity, the recent 80-page supplement to Neurology [1] subsidized by the manufacturer of tizanidine, sets me up front [2] as the stalking horse entree of the symposium.

The functional impairment due to spasticity must be carefully assessed before any treatment is considered. Therapeutic intervention is best individualized to a particular patient. Basic principles of treatment to ameliorate spastic hypertonia are: 1) avoid noxious stimuli and 2) provide frequent range of motion.
