Spasticity

Spasticity is a condition in which certain muscles are continuously contracted. This contraction causes stiffness or tightness of the muscles and can interfere with normal movement, speech and gait. It can range from mild muscle stiffness to severe, painful, and uncontrollable muscle spasm. Once spasticity is established, the chronically shortened muscle may develop physical changes such as shortening and contracture that further contribute to muscle stiffness.

What Causes Spasticity?

Spasticity is usually caused by damage to the portion of the brain or spinal cord that controls voluntary movement. The damage causes a change in the balance of signals between the nervous system and the muscles. It is associated with some common neurological disorders: Multiple sclerosis, stroke, cerebral palsy, spinal cord and brain injuries, and neurodegenerative diseases affecting the upper motor neuron (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease)), pyramidal and extrapyramidal pathways.

This imbalance leads to increased activity in the muscles. Spasticity negatively affects muscles and joints of the extremities and is particularly harmful to growing children.

Left untreated, it gives rise to many problems, such as pain, spasms, limb contracture, and deformity. As a result, loss of mobility and dexterity, hygiene/self-care, and an inability to wear orthoses occur, which can lead to decreased functioning and participation, and poor self-esteem.

What Are the Symptoms of Spasticity?

Spasticity may be as mild as the feeling of tightness in muscles or may be severe enough to produce painful, uncontrollable spasms of the extremities; most commonly the legs and arms. Spasticity may also create feelings of pain or tightness in and around joints and can cause low back pain. Symptoms are:

• Muscle stiffness, causing movements to be less precise and making certain tasks difficult to perform
• Pain
• Muscle spasms, causing uncontrollable and often painful muscle contractions
• Contractures (permanent contraction of the muscle and tendon due to severe persistent stiffness and spasms)
• The involuntary crossing of the legs
• Muscle and joint deformities
• Muscle fatigue
• Inhibition of longitudinal muscle growth, decreased functional abilities and delayed motor development
• Inhibition of protein synthesis in muscle cells

Additional complications

• Urinary tract infections
• Chronic constipation
• Fever or other systemic illnesses
• Pressure sores

How Painful Is Spasticity?

The pain associated with spasticity can be as mild as a feeling of tight muscles, or it can be severe enough to produce painful spasms of the extremities, usually the legs. Spasticity also can cause low back pain and result in feelings of pain or tightness in and around joints.

Treatment Options

There are a variety of treatments available for controlling spasticity. Peripheral nerve blocks and botulinum toxin are two local treatments which are usually used for the treatment of the spasticity.

There are several studies on Botox injections as an antispasmodic, with both upper and lower limbs. Success rates in reducing spasticity are impressive but are accompanied by muscle weakness. Side effects are known to include bleeding, skin rashes, or tenderness at the injection site, as well as flu-like symptoms. The main drawback to Botox injections is the short-lived benefit: Three months of relief seems to be average. We also noted possible side effect is ….
