Increased intracortical facilitation in patients with autosomal dominant pure spastic paraplegia linked to chromosome 2p.

abstract：:The muscle overactivity seen in spasticity results in limb stiffness and muscle spasm, to which there is both a neurogenic and a biomechanical component. Spasticity does not always cause harm and can assist in the rehabilitation process enabling a patient to stand when their limb weakness would not otherwise allow it....
