When both spastic and dystonic hypertonia occur together, this is referred to as mixed hypertonia In children, mixed hypertonia may be more common than either pure dystonic or pure spastic hypertonia The term mixed hypertonia is preferred to older terms such as spastic dystonia or dystonic spasticity

What is hypertonic cerebral palsy?
Cerebral palsy is most-often categorized by either increased muscle tone ( hyper tonia) or decreased muscle tone ( hypo tonia). Children with hypertonic cerebral palsy may exhibit trouble with balance, muscle contractures, awkward movements, and stiff limbs.
Does spasticity cause hypertonia?
In CP, spasticity is often regarded to be the most common motor impairment . However, there are many uncertainties regarding the contribution of spasticity to hypertonia and, in particular, its contribution to the gait abnormalities seen in CP.
What is spasticity in cerebral palsy?
Spasticity is manifested by increased stretch reflex which is intensified with movement velocity . This results in excessive and inappropriate muscle activation which can contribute to muscle hypertonia. Spasticity is a known impairment following an upper motor neuron (UMN) lesion, such as cerebral palsy (CP).
What is cerebral palsy?
Cerebral Palsy is a motor disability caused by abnormal brain development or damage to a developing brain. Cerebral Palsy (CP) comes most often from premature birth, although there are several other prenatal and neonatal causes.
