increased muscle tone, which typically occurs with an upper motorneuron lesion
Referring to increased muscle tone (stiffness) that can limit both the variety and speed of movement; has the potential to lead to joint contractures.
Extreme arterial tension Implant: A piece of tissue or a medical device (pacemaker, defibrillator or stent) that is inserted into the body
Increased tone of skeletal muscles. Basically, too tight muscles.
Increased postural tone; ‘stiffness' of muscles.
increased muscle tone, muscle tightness or spasticity.
excessive tension in the muscles
a neurologic condition in which muscles have excessive contraction when they are stretched, that is, spasticity
increased muscle tone that is expressed as spasticity or rigidity
An increased tension or spasticity of the muscles.
Increased degree of tone or tension in muscles.
Hypertonia is a condition marked by an abnormal increase in the tightness of muscle tone and a reduced ability of a muscle to stretch (i.e. an increased stiffness). It is generally accompanied by (increased) spasticity of the particular muscles.
