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.

Muscles appear stiff because the messages to the muscles are sent incorrectly through the damaged part of the brain
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
People may have difficulty moving from one position to another and controlling individual muscles or muscle groups needed for performing certain tasks like handling objects or speaking

By fixing the angle of the wrist in the extension position, it helps ease stiffness.	with Electrical stimulus. A patient needs some ability to flex & extend their fingers. In addition, electrical stimulus can accompany a therapy session to increase muscle activity in patients with minimal wrist/finger extension.
