Spasticity versus Rigidity (Stanford 25 Skills Symposium, 2015)

[@mayethpalay1828]

Thank you!!!!!! Here’s a summary: In spasticity, the resistance during flexion and extension is not equal. Hence it produces characteristic postures. It is also velocity dependent- the quicker you move the patient’s limbs, the stronger the resistance will be. Meanwhile, in rigidity, the resistance is the same in any direction you move the patient’s limb, and resistance is not velocity dependent. Cogwheel deformity is rigidity plus tremor.

Thanks!

Read so much in books never got clarity, here I understood in just min, thank you

Pro trick : watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.

[@sonnyari1150]

@Frank Orlando Yup, I have been watching on Flixzone} for months myself =)

[@BasitAli-lk6jf]

No one could explain it in a way better than you just did. Thank you Dr.

[@daviddivineful]

Wow. Simplistically explained. I am in nursing and my instructor half explained it. Surprised because she is absolutely phenomenal in breaking down complex processes into its simplest forms. Regardless, great explanation. Thank you.

Thank you very much. That explains a vital difference between upper motor neuron lesion and extrapyramidal lesion.

Yes thos has to be the best vdo..guys if u have any doubts .watch this once , twice , try process what he is saying!! U will understand it.

[@gp7706]

Thanks a lot Stanford Med...Keep up the great work..

[@glodieglodie919]

Omg, the best video ever, i finally got clarity about this. Thanks so much 🙏

[@StanfordMedicine25]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vikaschandravidyarthi5701]

Very nice and simple

[@mohe6327]

bless you dr you so good I love dr who don't speak from slides and know what they r talking about make me follow his thoughts love respect

[@avantikaraina9483]

Wow!! Beautiful explained!! Such an amazing doctor ❤

[@jacobstaton99]

Rigidity is uniformly consistent resistance to passive stretch as opposed to the directly proportionate relationship to velocity of which is spasticity

[@maxlucy9768]

Perfect explanation

[@mohammad.shokrolahi]

it took only 2:26 minutes to get my answer , thank you

[@dwaithasivadas2421]

Very clear explanation

[@carinaszpunarribeiro2479]

Thank you for this excellent explanation, Dr. McGee! 🇧🇷

[@AKAzad-cd4jp]

OMG! So easy to understand

[@محمدعاطفصقر-ج7ط]

thank you for this explanation 😊😊

[@MG-dn2qm]

thanks so much for a such a delightful explanation.

[@RoyRahebKhelo]

May someone explain what's the third condition that can also result in resistance to movement. The Dr. described the "two big ones," but no mention of the third.

Dr. ASMR

[@osamahosam]

something wrong , he describes both of them as spasticity ? did he mean rigidity in the first one ?

[@ishgarg4474]

no , he said spasticity is velocity dep. but rigidity is uniformly rigid ( not dependent on velocity ) i.e. on flexion and extension same rigidity occurs

[@StanfordMedicine25]
