Spasticity
What is Spasticity?
Spasticity is a neurological disorder characterized by an abnormal increase in muscle tone or stiffness, often accompanied by discomfort or pain. This condition is typically caused by damage to the nerve pathways in the brain or spinal cord responsible for regulating muscle movements. Additionally, spasticity can be associated with various underlying conditions, including metabolic disorders like adrenoleukodystrophy and phenylketonuria, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, strokes, brain trauma, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and inherited spastic paraplegias. The symptoms of spasticity can vary widely in severity, from mild muscle tightness to severe, painful muscle spasms. This condition can significantly impact daily activities and may impede recovery in individuals with specific medical conditions.
