The presence of spasticity and pyramidal features is a hallmark of some of hereditary ataxias, such as autosomal-recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay, other primary spastic ataxias, Friedreich ataxia, or ataxia with isolated vitamin E deficiency.

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.

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.

Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, 1983
Many different methods have been used to assess spasticity. They are all based on measurements of the responses to muscle stretch. The methods differ in how muscle stretch is obtained and how the responses are measured.

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.

Spinal Cord Stimulation for Spasticity: Historical Approaches, Current Status, and Future Directions
Neuromodulation (Malden, Mass.), 2017Millions of people worldwide suffer with spasticity related to irreversible damage to the brain or spinal cord. Typical antecedent events include stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury, although insidious onset is also common.

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.
