Muscle Hypertonia

Abnormal increase in skeletal or smooth muscle tone. Skeletal muscle hypertonicity may be associated with PYRAMIDAL TRACT lesions or BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES.

Therapies and Procedures

1. Therapeutics
2. Massage (Zone Therapy)
01/01/2012 - "This study seeks to find out the impact of massage techniques, including myofascial and muscle energy techniques, on the symptoms of pain, muscular hypertonicity, and structural misalignment associated with isthmic lumbar spondylolisthesis. "
01/01/2022 - "Inclusion in the standard rehabilitation complex of low-frequency electrostatic massage, multimodal physiotherapy and training on a multifunctional platform with BFB COBS in combination with walking stereotype training with video instruction using the system with BFB C-Mill in patients who have suffered acute cerebrovascular accident, with motor disorders in the form of hemiparesis with increased muscle tone of the lower extremity in the late recovery period causes a significant improvement in microcirculation in the arteriolar-venular bed of the affected lower extremities, which may underlie the improvement of static-locomotor indicators and contribute to the expansion of the volume of movements in the joints of the lower extremities. "
01/01/2022 - "The study included 200 patients who suffered acute cerebral circulatory disorders, with increased muscle tone in the lower extremity by the type of spasticity in the late recovery period, who were divided into five groups comparable in clinical and functional characteristics and age: the 1st group (n=40) - patients who, in addition to the standard complex of therapy and rehabilitation, the same in all five groups and including therapeutic physical culture, medical massage and kinesiotherapy, received low-frequency electrostatic massage, complex multimodal effects from the Alpha-capsule apparatus, training on a multifunctional biofeedback (BFB) platform and training of the stereotype of walking on to the track by the method of imposition; the 2nd group (n=40) - patients who, in addition to the standard complex, received low-frequency electrostatic massage from the Khivamat apparatus and exposure to broadband modulation currents; the 3rd group (n=40) - patients who, in addition to the standard complex, received a complex multimodal effect from the Alpha-capsule; the 4th group (n=40) - patients who, in addition to the standard complex, received training on a multifunctional platform with barefoot and training of the stereotype of walking on the track by the method of imposition; the 5th group (n=40) - patients who received only a standard complex of therapy and rehabilitation.
