Association between reduced limb perfusion and muscle spasticity in persons with spinal cord injury
Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) demonstrate reduced limb blood flow and muscle spasticity. It is plausible that the accumulation of metabolites, resulting from reduced perfusion, could exacerbate spasticity via activation of fusimotor neurons by Group III and IV afferents. PURPOSE: To dete...
