📢📢Spasticity📢📢 Spasticity is a hypertonic motor disorder characterized by velocity-dependent resistance to passive stretch. Thus the larger and quicker the stretch, the stronger the resistance of the spastic muscle. Chronic spasticity is associated with contracture, abnormal posturing and deformity, functional limitations, and disability. ✅What Are the Symptoms of Spasticity?✅ 👉Increased muscle tone 👉Overactive reflexes 👉Involuntary movements, which may include spasms (brisk and/or sustained involuntary muscle contraction) and clonus (series of fast involuntary contractions) 👉Pain 👉Decreased functional abilities and delayed motor developmen 👉Difficulty with care and hygiene 👉Abnormal posture 👉Contractures (permanent contraction of the muscle and tendon due to severe persistent stiffness and spasms) 👉Bone and joint deformities 📢📢Strategies to Manage Spasticity ( Physiotherapy Management ) 📢📢 👉Muscle stretching and range of motion exercises, and sometimes the use of braces, may help prevent tendon shortening.  👉Training strategies should include activation of the antagonist muscles using slow and controlled movements, local facilitation techniques can be added to activate very weak antagonist muscles and are effective in reducing agonist tone through the effects of reciprocal inhibition. 👉Early mobilization combined with elongation of spastic muscles and sustained stretch through positioning.  👉The technique of rhythmic rotation (a passive manual technique) can be effective in gaining initial range.  #spasticity #spasticityawareness #spasticitymanagement #spasticitysucks #spasticityrelief #spasticitytreatment #spasticityfree #spasticityclinic #spasticityreduction #spasticitylimbs #spasticityparalysis #spasticityrehabdg #spasticityrehabilitation #spasticityproblems #spasticityfighter (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSYWIhBILfu/?utm_medium=tumblr
