Article Synopsis
  • Spasticity is linked to increased muscle tension and hyperactive spinal reflexes, and noxious stimuli like bladder stones can amplify this condition after spinal cord injury.
  • A case study showed that after removing a bladder stone, a male subject experienced improved gait kinematics, such as reduced knee recurvatum and increased ankle dorsiflexion over three months.
  • The findings suggest a potential connection between the noxious stimulus from the bladder stone and increased spasticity, indicating that spinal reflexes can influence muscle tone and movement in individuals with spinal cord injuries.
