The pathophysiological mechanisms in spastic paresis are relatively well known, while their respective role in functional impairment remains unexplored. These mechanisms are: paresis in the agonist, soft tissue contracture and various forms of overactivity in the antagonist, including spasticity, spastic cocontraction and spastic dystonia. The first study of this thesis consisted of investigating the roles of each of these phenomena in impeding ambulation, in particular in decreasing speed. This investigation, ruled out spasticity among the important mechanisms and instead pointed to the motor command disorder (paresis in agonists and cocontraction in antagonists) and to the muscle disorder (contracture). These two major components of the m...
