Spasticity is abnormal muscle stiffness, making it difficult for a child to perform coordinated movements. Spastic muscles are tense and resist movement, and children with this condition often have problems with their reflexes and coordination. Spasticity can interfere with a child’s range of motion and limit their variety of movement patterns.
Children with the following conditions may show spasticity as a symptom:
A child’s mobility and quality of life can be improved through the coordination of a comprehensive care plan.
