Spasticity, spastic dystonia, and static stretch reflex in hypertonic muscles of patients with multiple sclerosis

Objective: To investigate prevalence of EMG patterns underlying hypertonia in multiple sclerosis (MS) and whether these patterns indicate different levels of spinal excitability. Methods: We investigated the EMG activity recorded from 108 hypertonic muscles of 59 consecutive MS patients. To investig...
