background and objectives: the complications associated with spastic cerebral palsy can affect the physical ability and quality of life of individuals suffering from this motor disorder. the aim of this study was to assess the relationship between quality of life and hypertonia in adults with spastic cerebral palsy. methods: in an analytical cross sectional study, 70 subjects with the diagnos...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The increase in resistance to passive muscle stretch in a paretic limb due to an upper motor neurone lesion is often referred to as muscle spasticity. However, this terminology is inaccurate and does not take into account the complex pathogenesis of the condition or describe the factors that contribute to the clinically observed changes in muscle tone. In this report we...
OBJECTIVE This report describes the consensus outcome of an interdisciplinary workshop that was held at the National Institutes of Health in April 2001. The purpose of the workshop and this article are to define the terms "spasticity," "dystonia," and "rigidity" as they are used to describe clinical features of hypertonia in children. The definitions presented here are designed to allow differe...
We present an infant girl with hyperekplexia, hypertonia, hyperreflexia and a characteristic exaggerated response to nose tap. This disorder is important to recognize because of the increased risk of apnea and sudden infant death, This infant responded to clonazepam.
BACKGROUND Spasticity and spastic dystonia are two separate phenomena of the upper motor neuron syndrome. Spasticity is clinically defined by velocity-dependent hypertonia and tendon jerk hyperreflexia due to the hyper-excitability of the stretch reflex. Spastic dystonia is the inability to relax a muscle leading to a spontaneous tonic contraction. Both spasticity and spastic dystonia are prese...
It has become increasingly recognized that the major functional deficits following brain damage are largely due to "negative' features such as weakness and loss of dexterity rather than spasticity. A variety of studies suggest that spasticity is a distinct problem and separate from the loss of dexterity, but that it may be implicated in the formation of muscle contracture and even in the recove...
Some activities performed by healthcare workers may still involve total or partial exposure to ionising radiation exceeding the limit values. In addition to the appearance of crystalline lens opacities which may lead to rays-cataract, recent studies have indicated possible induction of ocular hypertonia in occupationally exposed subjects. The aim of this study was to establish the actual preval...
