Spasticity presents with a variety of symptoms affecting muscle function and quality of life. Key indicators include hypertonicity (increased muscle tone), clonus (rapid, involuntary muscle contractions), exaggerated deep tendon reflexes, and muscle spasms. Individuals may also experience scissoring (involuntary crossing of the legs), joint contractures leading to fixed joints, and persistent muscle stiffness accompanied by involuntary contractions that can be painful. Additional symptoms often include generalized pain or discomfort, diminished functional capacity, difficulties with personal care and hygiene, and the adoption of abnormal postures. The severity of spasticity can range from mild muscle stiffness to severe, painful, and uncontrollable muscle spasms, potentially leading to bone and joint deformities. In children, spasticity can particularly impact development, causing growth problems, painful and deformed joints, and significant disability.
