Synkinesia Global

Global synkinesia (s. globalis; synonym s. spastic) is a pathological condition in which involuntary contraction of the muscles of the entire body or its large parts occurs.

Global synkinesis occurs when the central nervous system is damaged and is a manifestation of spasticity. In this case, irritation of one muscle group causes simultaneous tension in the muscles of the limbs, torso and even the face.

This pathological condition is most often observed in cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injuries and strokes. Global synkinesis significantly limits motor functions and the ability to move.

Treatment is aimed at reducing spasticity through medication, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. The prognosis depends on the severity and cause of the disease. With adequate therapy, it is possible to improve the patient's condition and alleviate synkinetic reactions.

Synkinesis is the involuntary contraction of one muscle when the other is in a passive state. This disease leads to concomitant muscle contraction, which can cause discomfort and pain. Synkinesis can occur both in diseases and normally, for example, when walking or running quickly. Normally, there are no involuntary muscle contractions. Their appearance indicates disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system; it is important to monitor their development and dynamics by a doctor for timely detection of their pathological changes.

Synkinesia can be a consequence of other diseases. Quite often, the cause of the development of synkinesis is damage to the central nervous system: the development of brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, stroke. In this case, the disease manifests itself
