The pathophysiology of spasticity
European Journal of Neurology, 2002Spasticity is only one of several components of the upper motor neurone (UMN) syndrome, known collectively as the `positive' phenomena, that are characterized by muscle overactivity. Other components include tendon hyper‐reflexia, clonus, the clasp‐knife phenomenon, flexor and extensor spasms, a Babinski sign, and spastic dystonia. Spasticity is a form

Botulinum toxin is prescribed for spasticity or spastic dystonia?
Toxicon, 2018Introduction: Following clinical examination, botulinum toxin is injected into muscles perceived as hypertonic during passive stretches. An effective reduction of resistance during muscle elongation is often clearly appreciated as long as muscle motor units are preserved and the amount of fibrosis is low.

Spasticity is a frequent feature of neurological disease in adults and children. Commonly associated symptoms include impaired movement, painful muscle spasms, stiffness and disturbed sleep. Severe or long-standing spasticity may lead to contractures and joint ankylosis, which can severely restrict the patient's care and rehabilitation. Here, we review

SUMMARYIn placing a cerebral palsied person in water, the supine position is generally preferable to the prone, although supination may stimulate extensor spasm. Holding the breath is preferable to blowing out as it requires less concentration and can be maintained for a longer time.

Electromyographic (EMG) recordings from multiple muscle groups with surface electrodes during systematic evaluation of phasic and tonic stretch reflexes, cutaneomuscular reflexes, long loop reflexes, postural reflexes, and volitional activation have been used to provide a neurophysiologic basis for selection of the appropriate treatment for spasticity,

The hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) comprise a large group of inherited neurologic disorders. HSP is classified according to the mode of inheritance, the HSP locus when known, and whether the spastic paraplegia syndrome occurs alone or is accompanied by additional neurologic or systemic abnormalities.

Spasticity and `Spastic' Gait in Children with Cerebral palsy
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 1998The current notion of spasticity as a velocity-dependent increase of muscle response to imposed stretch was mainly derived from studies performed under stationary experimental conditions. To address the issue of a spastic muscle behaviour under dynamic conditions, we conceived a novel approach, aimed at quantitatively assessing motor output over the ...
