The 12 pages that link to Spasticity, each with the reason it gives.

• Cerebral palsyRelated: It is the most common motor feature of cerebral palsy.

• Muscle toneCompared with: It is a particular pathological pattern, not a synonym for all increased tone.

• Spinal cord injuryRelated: It may emerge after spinal shock resolves and affect comfort and movement.

• DystoniaCompared with: Spasticity can resemble dystonia but has a different neurological mechanism and examination pattern.

• TetanusNarrower topic: Tetanus produces a distinctive acute form of sustained, stimulus-sensitive muscle overactivity.

• HypotoniaCompared with: Unlike hypotonia, spasticity produces increased resistance that grows with faster passive movement.

• NeurorehabilitationRelated: It can restrict movement and complicate positioning, mobility, and self-care.

• Alexander diseaseRelated: It is a frequent motor manifestation across Alexander disease presentations.

• Brain injuryRelated: Damage to descending motor pathways can leave muscles stiff and difficult to control.

• Hereditary spastic paraplegiaRelated: It is the characteristic stiffness behind the disorder’s name.

• AtonyCompared with: It contrasts with atony through abnormally increased rather than reduced tone.

• Reflex hammerRelated: It is assessed by passive movement, not by the hammer’s brief tendon strike.
