Riassunto

La spasticitá è un incremento patologico e velocitádipendente del tono muscolare — dovuto a ipereccitabilitá dei riflessi di stiramento — che si traduce nell’aumentata resistenza ai movimenti passivi, nell’incapacitá di frazionare l’esecuzione del movimento e nell’inappropriata attivitá dei muscoli antagonisti [1].
