The spasticity paradox: movement disorder or disorder of resting limbs?
BACKGROUND Spasticity is defined/assessed in resting limbs, where increased stretch reflex activity and mechanical joint resistance are evident. Treatment with antispastic agents assumes that these features contribute to the movement disorder, although it is unclear whether they persist during voluntary contraction. OBJECTIVES To compare reflex amplitude and joint resistance in spastic and no...
متن کاملSpastic movement disorder: impaired reflex function and altered muscle mechanics.
In clinical practice, signs of exaggerated tendon tap reflexes associated with muscle hypertonia are generally thought to be responsible for spastic movement disorders. Most antispastic treatments are, therefore, directed at the reduction of reflex activity. In recent years, however, researchers have noticed a discrepancy between spasticity as measured in the clinic and functional spastic movem...
متن کاملStudies on the spastic rat: an adequate model for human spastic movement disorder?
TO THE EDITOR: For the successful translation of basic research to humans, the adequacy of the animal model being studied is of crucial importance. With respect to the frequently occurring spastic syndrome, as a consequence of brain or spinal cord damage, the spastic rat tail is commonly applied as a model. Animal studies using this model focus on the mechanisms underlying increased neuronal ac...

S is a common symptom seen in many neurological conditions (stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury and other central nervous system lesions). It has been defined as a motor disorder characterized by a velocity-dependent increase in the tonic stretch reflexes (muscle tone) with exaggerated tendon jerks.1 This definition has greatly influenced the evaluation and tr...
متن کاملبررسی تاثیر درمان بر اساس تکامل سیستم عصبی و تزریق سم بوتولنیوم در بیماران مبتلا به همی‌پلژی اسپاستیک
Background & Aim: Hemiplegia results from upper motor neuron lesion and the patient encounters complications such as spastic paralysis of limbs, weakness and disability in performing movement patterns. One of the effective treatment approaches for these patients is neurodevelopmental treatment(NDT) based on Bobath’s assumptions. On the other hand, the latest researches show that botulinum t...
