What is hypertonicity?
Muscles tone refers to the stiffness and tightness of muscles, which is controlled by signals from the brain and travel down the spinal cord.
If this neurological network becomes damaged, the brain struggles to turn the right muscle on and off at the right time. If the muscle becomes overactive it will display high tone or hypertonia.
If hypertonicity is poorly managed, it can result in muscle shortening, pain, joint deformity and loss of functional independence.
