Getting the measure of spasticity in multiple sclerosis: the Multiple Sclerosis Spasticity Scale (MSSS-88).
Spasticity is most commonly defined as an inappropriate, velocity dependent, increase in muscle tonic stretch reflexes, due to the amplified reactivity of motor segments to sensory input. It forms one component of the upper motor neuron syndrome and often leads to muscle stiffness and disability. Spasticity can, therefore, be measured through electrophysiological, biomechanical and clinical eva...

متن کاملAdvances in the management of multiple sclerosis spasticity: multiple sclerosis spasticity nervous pathways.
BACKGROUND Spasticity arises from hyperexcitability of the neural stretch reflex arc secondary to injury of the corticospinal tract. In response to injury, the density of glutamatergic inputs from afferent 1A fibers to motor neurons increases dramatically and adaptive changes occur in the morphology of microglia cells in the spinal cord. SUMMARY Involvement of the endocannabinoid system in pa...
متن کاملEvaluation of baclofen (Lioresal) for spasticity in multiple sclerosis.
The effect of baclofen on spasticity and muscle spasms was assessed in thirty-five patients with multiple sclerosis. Benefit from reduction of spasticity was obtained in sixteen patients. A higher proportion of patients confined to a wheelchair was helped than ambulant patients, but overall functional improvement was limited. Twenty-one of the thirty-five patients had troublesome spasms and thi...
متن کاملLinguistic and psychometric validation of the MSSS-88 questionnaire for patients with multiple sclerosis and spasticity in Germany
BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease where many of the patients suffer from spasticity impacting their quality-of-life. The purpose of this paper was to linguistically validate and psychometrically test the Multiple Sclerosis Spasticity Scale (MSSS-88) in German speaking MS patients. METHODS The study had two stages: 1) forward/backward translations of the original MS...
