Question

Spastic hemiplegic gait is due to an abnormally exaggerated amount of tone in which muscles?

Answer 1

The flexor muscles of the arms and the extensor muscles of legs are involved in the spastic hemiplegic gait.

Step-by-step explanation:

• It is the condition in which effected person can not lift his leg to much due to the inability of his extensor to stretch.
• This is due to the high amount of tone accumulated in leg muscles a condition known as hypertonic gait.
• Extensors and flexors are antagonistic muscles means they have opposite effect to each other. They are the biceps and triceps muscles.

Answer 2

a form of muscular hypertonicity with increased resistance to stretch. It usually involves theflexors of the arms and the extensors of the legs. The hypertonicity is often associated withweakness, increased deep reflexes, and diminished superficial reflexes. Moderate spasticity ischaracterized by movements that require great effort and lack of normal coordination.
