Spasticity and Spinal Cord Injury: Is Spasticity a Red Flag?

"Spasticity is reactive to what’s going on with your general health...in fact, it’s often an indicator for how you’re doing on the health perspective, a red flag for something like a bladder infection." - Dr. Patricia Mills.
Because of the impaired sensation in people with spinal cord injury (SCI), something that happens below the level of injury (like stubbing your toe, for example) can cause spasticity because the neural message does not reach the central nervous system (brain) due to the SCI.
