La spasticità può essere controllata dal paziente?

Can spasticity be directly controlled by the patient? In this video, we explore one of the most surprising studies conducted by neurophysiologist Jonathan Wolpaw in the 1980s, in which monkeys learned to voluntarily modulate the spinal stretch reflex. This result revolutionized our understanding of spasticity, showing it not as a static and immutable phenomenon, but as a plastic and trainable process. We'll discuss: • What spasticity really is and why it is so misunderstood. • The role of the abnormal stretch reflex and its protective function. • Why clinical rehabilitation often adopts contradictory approaches. • Wolpaw's landmark study and its implications for post-stroke patients. • How muscle tone control is an integral part of the cognitive organization of movement. 👉 Were you familiar with this study?
