Q

what is the difference bw rigidity, spasticity, and clinical hypertonicity?

A

rigidity-velocity independent hypertonicity generally effects both agonist and antagonist; BG pathology

spasticity-velocity dependent hypertonicity; either antagonist or agonist more effected

clinical hypertonicity-stress/effort of movt makes underlying spasticity worse but is not coming from the brain, coming from inefficient movt
