Coming soonMuscle spasticity due to multiple sclerosis is a chronic neuromuscular manifestation of the upper motor neuron syndrome resulting from autoimmune demyelination and axonal degeneration within the central nervous system.
It predominantly affects adults with multiple sclerosis, frequently involving the lower extremities and axial musculature.
Pathophysiologically, inflammatory demyelinating lesions disrupt descending corticospinal and reticulospinal pathways, impairing supraspinal inhibitory control and producing muscle spindle hyperexcitability.
Clinically, it is characterized by a velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes, sustained muscle stiffness, involuntary and often painful spasms, clonus, and progressive mobility impairment.
