This study was designed to compare electromyogram (EMG) and acoustic myogram (AMG) recordings of biceps brachii muscles in patients with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). The maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) in the CP group was approximately one half of that of the normal group even after being normal
## Abstract It is often assumed that coβcontraction of antagonist muscles is responsible for increased resistance to passive movement in hypertonic dystonia. Although coβcontraction may certainly contribute to hypertonia in some patients, the role of reflex activation has never been investigated. W
