Mechanisms of spasticity and possible therapeutic interventions continue to dominate research into motor disorders following cerebral lesions. However, the accumulated evidence suggests that this focus on spasticity may be out of step with its effects. In contrast, hypertonia remains an important problem. Further investigation into its link with muscle contracture is required and it needs to be clearly distinguished from reflex hyperexcitability in patients with spasticity.
痉挛的机制及可能的治疗干预措施仍然是脑损伤后运动障碍研究的主要内容。然而，积累的证据表明，这种对痉挛的关注可能与其实际影响不符。相比之下，张力亢进仍然是一个重要问题。需要进一步研究其与肌肉挛缩的联系，并且需要将其与痉挛患者的反射性过度兴奋明确区分开来。
