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.
