Q

TRUE OR FALSE: Based on the principles of motor learning, spasticity is a hindrance to normal movement pattern. It inhibits even when as low as grade 1 or 2.

A. Both statements are correct
B. Both statements are incorrect
C. Only the 1st statement is correct
D. Only the 2nd statement is correct

A

B. Both statements are incorrect

NOTE: We do not think
about the spasticity as being a hindrance to normal
movement pattern, because in theory, spasticity can only be elicited by fast passive ROM. Spasticity should also not inhibit any movement as
long as spasticity is not grade 3 or 4
