    Sir, could you explain why antigravity muscles (flexors for the upper extremity and extensors for the LE) are more affected in (not completely paralytic) UMN lesions? I read it has to do with inhibitory pathways, but unfortunately I do not fully understand it!

  • @PoleiceCidcorn
    @PoleiceCidcorn9 ай бұрын

    Dr Matt, so hyperreflexia with flaccid limbs? UMN & LMN with problems from disinhibition. Ie a patient with flaccid limbs will move the limbs with stimulation to just the hamstrings.

    I wonder if my cranial cervical instability (due to Ehlers Danlos, which is now fused) is what brought on Dystonia (episodic but generalized) for me...and would this qualify as upper motor neuron or spinal cord injury?

    At the level of lesion it behaves as LMN and below the the level of Injusry is UMN. So you you will have to see which level and which muscles are getting involved and according to that LMN lesion will be flaccid and UMN lesion is spastic.
