Spasticity Muscular

Muscle spasticity is a neurological disease characterized by increased muscle tone and contraction due to muscle contraction. Muscle spasticity was first described in 1898 by the Swiss psychiatrist J. Bakert. The disease is classified as a motor dysfunction that affects the voluntary motor nerves. Typically, paresthesia occurs as a result of excessive muscle contraction. This is why it is often called “muscle tension.” This may be due to causes such as stroke, brain cancer, viral infection, encephalitis, multiple sclerosis or trauma.

There are two types of diseases: - Increased tone and spasm of the muscles of one limb. The spread of the disease occurs in the following order: shoulder - forearm - hand; face - shoulder.
