Answer 2

Answer:

Spastic co-contraction is defined as an "unwanted, excessive, level of antagonistic muscle activity during voluntary command on an agonist muscle, which is aggravated by tonic stretch in the co-contracting muscle" (2, 8). Spastic co-contraction in patients with spastic paresis is a descending phenomenon, most probably due to misdirection of the supraspinal drive. It may be facilitated by increased recurrent inhibition, causing loss of reciprocal inhibition during voluntary command
