Thank you so much! I've been reviewing for my neuro clerkship which starts in January and the concepts of spasticity v. rigidity v. dystonia have always been hard to differentiate. This helped a lot!

Thank you so much. This was very helpful. My mother has dementia, and year ago had a fall/ head injury, possibly mini stroke. I definitely see she has both dystonia and spasticity in her one arm/legs. This clarification in your video helps me to help her! I'm a bodyworker. Thank you.
