Spasticity and weakness (spastic paresis) are the primary motor impairments after stroke
and impose significant challenges for treatment and patient care. Spasticity emerges and …

Spasticity is one of many consequences after stroke. It is characterized by a velocity-
dependent increase in resistance during passive stretch, resulting from hyperexcitability of …

Spasticity is a velocity-dependent increase in muscle tone and uncontrolled, repetitive,
involuntary contractions of skeletal muscles. Spasticity presents as upper motor neuron …

The predominant role of the primary motor cortex (M1) in motor execution is well
acknowledged. However, additional roles of M1 are getting evident in humans owing to …

The motor cortex is a large frontal structure in the cerebral cortex of eutherian mammals. A
vast array of evidence implicates the motor cortex in the volitional control of motor output, but …

Spasticity is considered an important neural contributor to muscle hypertonia in children with
cerebral palsy (CP). It is most often treated with antispasticity medication, such as Botulinum …

Spasticity, resulting in involuntary and sustained contractions of muscles, may evolve in
patients with stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, and spinal cord injury …

Background and purpose To support clinical decision‐making in central neurological
disorders, a physical examination is used to assess responses to passive muscle stretch …
