PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Otherwise known as muscle cramps, spasms occur when your muscle involuntary and forcibly contracts uncontrollably and can’t relax. These are very common and can affect any of your muscles. They can involve part or all of a muscle, or several muscles in a group.

Detailed explanation-2: -When affected muscles stretch, spasticity may also cause them to twitch or jerk in an uncontrolled way – a spasm. If muscles twitch or jerk repeatedly, this is known as ‘clonus’, for example when a foot taps repetitively on the floor.

Detailed explanation-3: -A spasm that causes a limb to bend, such as causing the leg to move upwards towards the body, is called a flexor spasm. A spasm that causes a limb to extend, such as causing the leg to straighten away from the body, is called an extensor spasm. More items
