Abstract in brief

  • Spastic paresis is a type of movement disorder characterized by weakness and increased muscle tone, which causes stiffness and difficulty in movement.
  • It is considered a treatable condition, meaning with proper diagnosis and therapy, symptoms can often be improved or managed.
  • The condition typically results from damage to the nervous system, such as from a stroke, brain injury, or neurological disease, but early intervention can lead to better outcomes.

In this article, Dr. Alberto Esquenazi and colleagues argue that spastic paresis is a neurological movement disorder, as it involves both excess movement and reduced voluntary and involuntary movements. The authors propose therapeutic strategies for its management. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39548808/
