Abstract: We suggest short range stiffness (SRS) at the elbow joint as an alternative diagnostic for EMG to assess cocontraction. Elbow SRS is compared between obstetric brachial plexus lesion (OBPL) patients and healthy subjects (cross-sectional study… read more here.

Abstract: Introduction/Background Muscle overactivity, including spasticity and spastic cocontraction, is an involuntary motor unit recruitment participating in the spastic paresis syndrome after cerebral injury. Spasticity is defined as velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes. Spastic cocontraction… read more here.
