Muscle spasticity of spinal origin

Muscle spasticity of spinal origin is a motor disorder characterized by involuntary, velocity-dependent increases in muscle tone and exaggerated stretch reflexes resulting directly from injury or disease of the spinal cord

Commonly associated with conditions such as spinal cord injury, transverse myelitis, and multiple sclerosis, it affects the neuromuscular system below the anatomical level of the spinal lesion

Commonly associated with conditions such as spinal cord injury, transverse myelitis, and multiple sclerosis, it affects the neuromuscular system below the anatomical level of the spinal lesion Pathophysiologically, the condition is driven by upper motor neuron disruption that impairs descending inhibitory pathways, leading to heightened motor neuron excitability, hyperreflexia, painful flexor or extensor spasms, and clonus
