What is Spastic Hand?
Spasticity is a form of hypertonia, or increased muscle tone. This results in stiff muscles which can make movement difficult or even impossible.

- When a muscle is affected by spasticity, the faster the limb is moved, the stiffer it seems
- Spasticity is seen in a number of different conditions including cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke and multiple sclerosis
