  2. Hypotonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotonia

    Hypotonia is a lack of resistance to passive movement, whereas muscle weakness results in impaired active movement. Central hypotonia originates from the central nervous system, while peripheral hypotonia is related to problems within the spinal cord, peripheral nerves and/or skeletal muscles. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_motor_neuron_lesion

    Hypotonia or atonia – Tone is not velocity dependent. Hyporeflexia - Along with deep reflexes even cutaneous reflexes are also decreased or absent. Strength – weakness is limited to segmental or focal pattern, Root innervated pattern [clarification needed] The extensor plantar reflex (Babinski sign) is usually absent. Muscle paresis ...

  4. Muscle tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_tone

    Hypotonia can present clinically as muscle flaccidity, where the limbs appear floppy, stretch reflex responses are decreased, and the limb's resistance to passive movement is also decreased. [1] Hypertonia is seen in upper motor neuron diseases like lesions in pyramidal tract and extrapyramidal tract.

  5. Flaccid dysarthria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaccid_dysarthria

    Flaccid dysarthria is a motor speech disorder resulting from damage to peripheral nervous system (cranial or spinal nerves) or lower motor neuron system. Depending on which nerves are damaged, flaccid dysarthria affects respiration, phonation, resonance, and articulation. It also causes weakness, hypotonia (low-muscle tone), and diminished ...

  6. Hypertonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertonia

    Hypertonia is a term sometimes used synonymously with spasticity and rigidity in the literature surrounding damage to the central nervous system, namely upper motor neuron lesions. [1] Impaired ability of damaged motor neurons to regulate descending pathways gives rise to disordered spinal reflexes , increased excitability of muscle spindles ...

    NAD+ vs. NADH. NAD is commonly called by other names, including NAD+ or NADH. These are both forms of NAD — NAD+ is the positively charged form, which has lost an electron, and NADH is the ...

  8. Spasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spasticity

    Spasticity mostly occurs in disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) affecting the upper motor neurons in the form of a lesion, such as spastic diplegia, or upper motor neuron syndrome, and can also be present in various types of multiple sclerosis, where it occurs as a symptom of the progressively-worsening attacks on myelin sheaths and ...
