Spastic paraplegia is a descriptive term and not a diagnosis. Its causes are many. In the classic form it is characterized by a progressive spasticity in the lower limbs, with all the signs and symptoms of a pyramidal tract disease below the level of the lesion. The onset is described by the patient in terms of fatigability of the lower limbs.

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.

Neurology, 1980
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,

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 ...

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.

This chapter reviews the aetiology, pathophysiology, assessment, and treatment of spasticity in adults and children. We present an overview of the medical management options as well as the multidisciplinary input and rehabilitation required. Surgical interventions are then outlined with more sections on neurosurgery, plastic surgery, and orthopaedic ...
