The Evaluation of “Spasticity” [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 1987 ABSTRACT:Lesions of the upper motor neuron cause: 1. Alterations in segmental reflex activity. For example increased tendon jerks and velocity dependent stretch reflexes ("spasticity"), clonus, the clasp knife response, release of flexion reflexes and extensor plantar reflexes. 2.
