What is spastic movement?

Spastic movement refers to involuntary muscle contractions that result in stiffness and tightness, often affecting coordination and control. This condition is commonly associated with neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy, where the signals from the brain to the muscles are disrupted. As a result, individuals may experience difficulty in performing smooth and controlled movements, leading to a jerky or rigid gait. Treatment options often include physical therapy and medications to manage symptoms.
