...Spasticity or muscular hypertonicity is a disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) in which certain muscles continually receive a message to tighten and contract. The nerves leading to those muscles, unable to regulate themselves (which would provide for normal muscle tone), permanently and continually "over-fire" these commands to tighten and contract. This causes stiffness or tightness of the muscles and interferes with gait and movement, and sometimes speech. Read full entry

Is there any support websites My little girl is 4 months old
and she has been diagnosed
with seizures, GERD and muscle
spasticity. They are saying it
could be mild cp. She is
hitting all of her milestones
so they are predicting for it
to be better by the time she
is 1. I work with her at home
plus she has OT and PT 4 times
a month at children's. I am
very blessed that her case is
mild. I would just like to
talk to other moms who have
gone through this.

Can spasticity manifest itself If a person damages their
cerebellum later in life, can
spasticity still be a
permanent residual factor in
their gait abnormality?
(If the injury did not result
in cerebral palsy because the
injury did not occur early
enough in life for it to be
CP).

An injury to the cerebellum never causes spasticity. Upper motor neuron damage in the cerebrum causes spasticity, and yes, it can be permanent (just observe stroke patients with contractions). |
