Spasticity and muscle contracture following stroke.
O'Dwyer NJ, Ada L, Neilson PD. O'Dwyer NJ, et al. Brain. 1996 Oct;119 ( Pt 5):1737-49. doi: 10.1093/brain/119.5.1737. Brain. 1996. PMID: 8931594
A variety of studies suggest that spasticity is a distinct problem and separate from the loss of dexterity, but that it may be implicated in the formation of muscle contracture and even in the recovery of strength. In order to address these issues, we examined the r …

Physical therapy in patients with disorders of consciousness: Impact on spasticity and muscle contracture.
Thibaut A, Wannez S, Deltombe T, Martens G, Laureys S, Chatelle C. Thibaut A, et al. NeuroRehabilitation. 2018;42(2):199-205. doi: 10.3233/NRE-172229. NeuroRehabilitation. 2018. PMID: 29562552 Free article.
Spasticity was measured with the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) on every segment for both upper (UL) and lower limbs (LL). The presence of muscle contracture was assessed in every joint. We tested the relationship between spasticity and muscle contracture …
