Spasticity and Increased Muscle Tone in Neurological Disorders
Spasticity and increased muscle tone are common features in neurological disorders, characterized by hyperactive stretch reflexes and muscle contractions. Spasticity is velocity-dependent and associated with upper motor neuron lesions, leading to increased resistance to passive movement. Rigidity, o

MR SPECTROSCOPY
MR Spectroscopy is a technique for analyzing in vivo chemical environments to study neurophysiology and neurochemistry. This quantitative noninvasive assay allows for the identification of various metabolites such as NAA, choline, creatine, lipids, and lactates. Data collected are analyzed in the ti
