hypertonia

Prison records have it that, since 1959, he had been under medical supervision for hypertonia.

Direct pressure helps to relieve hypertonia and to increase circulation to a specific area.

That leads to hypertonia in the muscles signaled by those damaged nerves.

However, after a few weeks the infant sometimes becomes irritable and has increased muscle tone (hypertonia).

The neonate (less than 37 weeks of age) is in a state of physiological hypertonia.

Hypertonia can present clinically as either spasticity or rigidity.

Another form of hypertonia is paratonia, which is associated with dementia.

This can make hypertonia worse.

Avoid licorice if you have hypertonia.

However, dyskinesia, hypertonia and clonus may occur in some cases.

A minority may also have hypotonia or hypertonia even as early as the newborn period.

The initial hypotonia may progress to hypertonia with spasticity.

Less common adverse effects include vomiting, anxiety, hypertonia, cystitis, and increased libido.

A muscle condition caused by nerve problems (hypertonia): Licorice can cause the level of potassium to drop in the blood.

The hypertonia may be predominantly truncal, attenuated during sleep and less prominent after a year of age.

Opposite to this, hypertonia is caused by damage to descending pathways that terminate in the spinal cord.

These include hyperreflexia, hypertonia and muscle weakness.

As individuals with Williams syndrome age, they frequently develop joint limitations and hypertonia, or abnormally increased muscle tone.

Seizures often begin as apnea, cyanosis, and hypertonia and last less than 1 minute.

Hypotonia and/or hypertonia are present in nearly all individuals with tetrasomy 18p.

Physical disorders can result in abnormally low (hypotonia) or high (hypertonia) muscle tone.

Hypertonia is caused by upper motor neuron lesions which may result from injury, disease, or conditions that involve damage to the central nervous system.

Mild hypertonia (especially lower limbs)

Basic principles of treatment for hypertonia are to 1) avoid noxious stimuli and 2) provide frequent range of motion exercise.

Physiotherapy has been shown to be effective in controlling hypertonia through the use of stretching aimed to reduce motor neuron excitability.
