Cerebral palsy-associated limb spasticity

Cerebral palsy-associated limb spasticity is a motor disorder characterized by velocity-dependent hypertonia and exaggerated tendon reflexes affecting the upper or lower extremities It is a manifestation of upper motor neuron syndrome arising from nonprogressive damage or malformation in the developing fetal or infant brain, which disrupts descending corticospinal pathways and causes an imbalance of supraspinal inhibitory and excitatory signaling This sustained muscular overactivity leads to res...

It is a manifestation of upper motor neuron syndrome arising from nonprogressive damage or malformation in the developing fetal or infant brain, which disrupts descending corticospinal pathways and causes an imbalance of supraspinal inhibitory and excitatory signaling This sustained muscular overactivity leads to restricted active and passive range of motion, abnormal postures, pain, and impaired gross or fine motor function Over time, persistent spasticity often produces secondary musculoskelet...

This sustained muscular overactivity leads to restricted active and passive range of motion, abnormal postures, pain, and impaired gross or fine motor function Over time, persistent spasticity often produces secondary musculoskeletal complications, including progressive muscle stiffness, tendon shortening, joint contractures, and skeletal deformities
