Deficit Phenomena
loss of normal neurological fxn. Reductions in muscle tone, muscle stretch reflexes, muscle strength and muscle volume. LMN lesions produce only deficit phenomena
Release Phenomena
Exaggerations or perversions of normal neurological fxn and are due to a loss of cortical inhibition. Hyper-reflexia, hypertonia and pathological reflexes would be release phenomena.
Tone or Tonis
a reflex phenomena. Afferent and efferent components influence it
